Grass block in Minecraft: bone meal, snow and animals

The interesting part of grass is what happens on top of it. Use bone meal on it and plants sprout on the block and the grass around it: short grass, tall grass, flowers and pink petals, plus ferns in Bedrock only. The affected area is 15×15×15 blocks in Java and 7×5×7 in Bedrock, and which flowers appear depends on the biome and the coordinates. It works even on the side or bottom face, or on a block that already has plants on it.

Grass also decides where animals turn up. In Java most of them are created with the terrain, and later spawns on grass with light level 9 or more are rare, since they need few other animals loaded. In Bedrock it is the normal route: animals regularly spawn on surface grass, meaning nothing solid anywhere above it in that column, with light level 7 or more.

Place snow, powder snow or a snow block on it and it becomes snowy grass, returning to normal when the snow is removed. That variant cannot be obtained as an item, not even with Silk Touch. In Java the top face of snowy grass ignores biome tint and is grey, which the snow layer hides.

Beyond open terrain it generates in villages, ancient cities and as disks between the mud of mangrove swamps. In Bedrock it can even go in a composter, with a 30% chance of adding a layer.
