Hanging Roots

Hanging roots are a natural decorative block in Minecraft, found in the Lush Caves biome. They typically generate beneath rooted dirt blocks below azalea trees. Hanging roots cannot be crafted and must be collected by using shears or a tool with the Silk Touch enchantment. In Survival mode, players must explore Lush Caves to locate hanging roots and harvest them using shears. They can also be generated by using bone meal on rooted dirt. Hanging roots are a renewable resource as they can be grown this way anywhere. Hanging roots can be placed on the underside of any block. They can also be placed into a composter, with a 30% chance of raising the compost level by 1. The primary use of hanging roots is decorative, adding a natural and cave-like aesthetic to players' builds.
