Obtaining

Breaking

Potato stems can be broken using any tool, but an axe is the fastest. Additionally, swords speed up the breaking time.

Potato stems cannot be stripped with an axe and cannot be crafted into wood or hyphae, unlike all other log-like blocks.

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.
