Seagrass is a non-solid plant block that generates in all oceans, except frozen oceans.

Obtaining

Seagrass can be destroyed instantly with any tool, item or the player’s fist. It can only be obtained using shears or it will drop nothing. Regular seagrass drops 1 seagrass when harvested with shears and tall seagrass drops 2 seagrass when harvested with shears.

Turtles

Turtles will drop 0–2 seagrass when killed. The Looting enchantment will increase the maximum number of possible seagrass drops by 1 per level.

Natural generation

Seagrass generates in either its tall or small form in ocean biomes near kelp, and will also generate in rivers, underwater caves and swamps by itself, replacing ice and planks as necessary.

Bone meal

Using bone meal underwater will generate seagrass. The bone meal must be used on a non-transparent block under at least 2 blocks of water, with the water directly above the block being non-flowing. If these conditions are met, seagrass will generate on that block, and if available, also on surrounding blocks.

Usage

The seagrass item can only be placed on non-transparent blocks.

Like grass, snow layers and other such blocks, placing blocks inside seagrass will delete it. However, it will block coral fan placement.‌^{[Bedrock Edition only]}

Breeding

Seagrass can be used to breed turtles.

Bone meal

Applying bone meal to a regular seagrass will turn it into tall seagrass, assuming there is enough space. It can also be used to completely waste bone meal if no such space exists..

Composting

Placing seagrass into a composter has a 30% chance of raising the compost level by 1.‌^{[upcoming: JE 1.14 & BE 1.11.0]}

History

Java Edition Classic
May 21, 2009					Notch shows interest in adding a "seaweed" block.
Java Edition
1.13			18w07a		Added "sea grass".
			18w07b		Sea grass is now used to breed turtles.
					The block that sea grass occupies will now behave more like water. For example, mobs can now no longer spawn within the plant underwater, nor can they replenish their breath by swimming through it.
			18w08a		Sea grass will now no longer have an animated texture as an inventory item.
			18w14a		Sea grass can now generate in rivers and swamps.
			18w19a		Sea grass will now generate in underwater caves.
					"Sea Grass" has now been renamed to "Seagrass".
			pre2		Seagrass can now be destroyed by sponges.
			pre6		Conduits and kelp can now replace seagrass.
					Added 5 new sound events that apply to seagrass: block.wet_grass.break, block.wet_grass.fall, block.wet_grass.hit, block.wet_grass.place, and block.wet_grass.step.
Upcoming Java Edition
1.14			19w03a		Placing seagrass into the new composter has a 10% chance of raising the compost level by 1.
			19w05a		Seagrass now has a 30% chance of increasing the compost level in a composter by 1.
Bedrock Edition
1.4.0			beta 1.2.14.2		Added sea grass. It has the same texture as regular grass but animated, rather than the texture of seagrass in the Java Edition.
			beta 1.2.20.1		32px32px The seagrass texture has now been changed.
					Seagrass now generate in underwater caves.
1.5.0			beta 1.5.0.4		Seagrass dropped by turtle.
