Weak roots are a joke block only present in 24w14potato.

Obtaining

Breaking

Weak roots have no assigned tool, meaning they are mined at the same speed regardless of the tool used. Weak roots never drop as an item when mined, even with Silk Touch.

  • correct tool, drops nothing or something other than the block itself

Natural generation

Weak roots naturally generate in the Potato dimension in wasteland biomes, connected to a powerful potato.

Usage

Unlike strong roots, weak roots don't grow. To achieve any growth, players must mine and replace the powerful potato block, which causes strong roots to grow from it.

Piston interactivity

Weak roots are destroyed when pushed by pistons. They do not stick to sticky pistons, slime blocks or honey 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.
