Natural generation
[edit | edit source]Hanging roots can generate inside a lush cave beneath an azalea tree on the surface above.
Post-generation
[edit | edit source]Using bone meal on rooted dirt causes hanging roots to grow below the block.
Hanging roots may be obtained by using a hoe on rooted dirt, transforming the rooted dirt into normal dirt in the process.
Usage
[edit | edit source]Hanging roots can only be placed on the underside of a block.
Composting
[edit | edit source]Placing hanging roots into a composter has a 30% chance of raising the compost level by 1.
