About
Kelp is a renewable plant block found growing underwater in ocean and river biomes. It grows in vertical stalks and can be harvested with any tool or by hand, dropping the item instantly. The plant regrows naturally, making it one of Minecraft's most reliable renewable resources.
Admins typically use kelp as an efficient furnace fuel, nine kelp smelt into one bone meal when dried in a furnace, or dried kelp blocks can fuel furnaces directly. It also serves as a composting ingredient (raises the compost level by 1) and feeds certain animals. On multiplayer servers, kelp farms are popular for passive resource generation.
