How to make a Grass Block in Minecraft

This Minecraft tutorial explains how to craft a grass block with screenshots and step-by-step instructions.

In Minecraft, a grass block is an item that you can not make with a crafting table or furnace. Instead, you need to find and gather this item in the game. Gathering a grass block is a bit tricky in Minecraft because you need to mine it with a tool that is enchanted with Silk Touch.

The grass block will break and a smaller block of grass will float on the ground.

TIP: Normally when you mine a grass block, you get a block of dirt as the drop. However, when you mine the grass block using a tool enchanted with Silk Touch, you will get the grass block itself as the drop.

4. Pick up the Grass Block

Make sure you pick up the grass block before it disappears.
