Where Can Vines Be Found?

Vines naturally generate in Jungles, Swamps, and some Forest biomes, typically covering tree trunks and cliffsides. They can be obtained by breaking them with Shears; otherwise, they will not drop as an item. Vines can also spread naturally over time, growing downward and across surfaces. More details about jungle vegetation can be found in the Jungle Biomes Guide.

What Can Players Do with Vines?

Vines can be placed on solid blocks to create natural-looking builds, jungle environments, or hidden entrances. They allow players to climb without requiring a ladder or scaffolding. Additionally, Vines can be crafted into Mossy Cobblestone and Mossy Stone Bricks. They are also compostable, providing a chance to generate Bone Meal. More details about crafting and climbing mechanics can be found in the Farming Guide.

Interesting Fact or Real-Life Connection
