	“	Dead bushes spawn during world generation in desert, badlands and giant tree taiga biomes. You might find them occasionally in flower pots in desert villages, when the inhabitants have forgotten to water their flowers for a few months (we've all been there), and occasionally in chests in desert houses, where perhaps the inhabitants can't bring themselves to throw away their deceased but beloved plants.	„
		— Duncan Geere

Dead bushes are transparent blocks in the form of an aesthetic plant.

Occurrence

Natural generation

Dead bushes generate on sand, red sand, podzol, dirt, coarse dirt and terracotta in deserts, badlands and giant tree taigas. Dead bushes generate twice as commonly in desert biomes as they do in giant tree taigas, and 10 times more often in badlands than they do in deserts (ratio of 1:2:20 – taiga:desert:badlands). Dead bushes can also generate in swamp biomes.

Dead bushes can be found inside flower pots inside some desert village houses.

Usage

Info

Dead bushes can be used for aesthetic decoration, as a source of sticks and a fuel source. They can be placed on any kind of sand, terracotta, dirt or podzol, but not on mycelium or grass blocks. They can also be placed in flower pots.

Breaking

Dead bushes drop 0–2 sticks when broken without shears. When shears are used, a dead bush drops itself. Also, they do not spread, and cannot be grown using bone meal. If the block below the dead bush is removed, the bush simply disappears without dropping anything.
