Natural generation
Potato buds naturally generate in the corruption biome in Potato dimension.
Usage
The block acts similarly to pointed dripstone: it grows upward like a stalagmite, and if entities land on the tip, they take increased fall damage. Potato buds cannot be placed on the ceiling and they grow faster than pointed dripstone, up to the maximum height of 25 blocks.
This block is also able to be used in a composter.
Sounds
This section uses a sound table which may not accurately represent the sounds associated with this feature.
Because of MC-177082, subtitles for falling on blocks may not have existed at this point in development, so a dedicated sound table accounting for this may be required.
