Where Can Short Grass Be Found?

Short Grass generates naturally in most Overworld biomes, including Plains, Forests, and Savannas. It can also be created by using Bone Meal on a Grass Block, which may produce Tall Grass and flowers alongside it. Players can break Short Grass with any tool or by hand, but using Shears allows them to collect it as an item. More details about vegetation spread can be found in the Flora Guide.
