Ingredients	Crafting recipe
Pale Moss Block	3

Post-generation

Using bone meal on a pale moss block has a chance to grow pale moss carpets.

Usage

The decorative vine appearing onto the adjacent surfaces.

Similar to moss carpets, pale moss carpets have most of the properties of the standard carpets, cannot be pushed by pistons, cannot be equipped on llamas, and do not occlude vibrations from sculk sensors.

When placed next to a block, the pale moss carpet causes a vine texture to appear on the block's adjacent surfaces. If a second block is stacked above, when placed, the pale moss carpet has a 50% chance to cause a two block tall vine texture to appear. The player may break the second vine texture to keep it at one block tall, or use bone meal on the carpet or the first vine texture to grow the second vine texture.

Composting

Placing a pale moss carpet into a composter has a 30% chance of raising the compost level by 1.
