  • Windswept Gravelly Hills
  • Windswept Forest
  • River
  • Frozen River
  • Forest

The bush in Minecraft serves many purposes aside from being a unique decorative addition to your world. You can use it as a compost material in the composter to create bone meal. Additionally, you can also bonemeal existing bushes to spawn new ones next to them, making it a great way to farm composting material.

The bush is a great decorative block that can be placed alongside paths to create unique road designs, simulating rows of greenery. Additionally, the block serves as a great natural item that can be placed on your builds as decoration or foliage.

Dead bush placed on terracotta, sand, or red sand blocks in any biome can sometimes play ambient sounds, adding to the immersiveness of the desert and badlands biomes.
