Potato sprouts are a joke block exclusive to 24w14potato.

Obtaining

Breaking

Potato sprouts can be broken instantly using anything, including the player's fist, and always drop themselves as an item.

Natural generation

Potato sprouts generate commonly on the surface of a corruption biome in the Potato dimension.

Generated loot

Item	Structure	Container	Quantity	Chance
Java Edition
Potato Sprouts	Potato Village	House chest	1–2	48.2% { "item": "Potato Sprouts", "stacksize": "1–2", "chance": 0.4819569376305396, "structure": "Potato Village", "container": "House chest" }

Post-generation

When potato leaves decay, or are broken by any tool except shears, they have a 5% chance of dropping potato sprouts. The Fortune enchantment increases the rate to 6.25% at level I, 8.33% at level II, and 10% at level III.

Usage

If placed on peelgrass blocks or corrupted peelgrass blocks, potato sprouts can grow into potato trees. Potato sprouts function similarly to Nether fungi: they don't grow into trees on their own, bone meal must be applied.

Potato sprouts are randomly offset based on the coordinates of the block they are placed on, which can be used to create unusual hitbox patterns.

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.
