A '''pale moss block''' is a block that generates in [[pale garden]]s.

== Obtaining ==
=== Breaking ===
Pale moss blocks can be mined using any tool or by hand, but a [[hoe]] is the quickest way to break it.

{{breaking row|horizontal=1|Pale Moss Block|link=none|Hoe}}

=== Natural generation ===
Pale moss blocks can be found on [[Pale moss patch|pale moss patches]] inside of [[pale garden]]s.

=== Trading ===
Pale moss blocks can be obtained by [[trading]] with a [[wandering trader]], who may sell 2 for 1 [[emerald]].

=== Post-generation ===
When [[bone meal]] is {{control|used}} on a pale moss block, moss spreads to any of the blocks listed below, if they have [[air]] blocks above them, in a corner-less 7×11×7 volume centered on the original pale moss block. Foliage can replace air on any of these blocks.

The following blocks can be replaced with pale moss blocks:

When a pale moss block generates, it has a chance to have [[short grass]], [[tall grass]], or a [[pale moss carpet]] growing on it.

Placing a pale moss block into a [[composter]] has a 65% chance of raising the compost level by 1.
