Required Materials to make Short Grass

In Minecraft, these are the materials you can use to gather Short Grass:

1 Shears

How to get Short Grass in Survival Mode

You can add Short Grass to your inventory in Survival mode by clipping Short Grass from the ground using a pair of shears. So, let's get started!

1. Find Short Grass Growing

First, you need to find Short Grass growing on the ground.

2. Hold your Shears

Next, select your shears in the hotbar so you are holding them in your hand.

3. Use the Shears

The game control to use the shears to clip the Short Grass depends on the version of Minecraft:

• For Java Edition (PC/Mac), left click and hold on the Short Grass.
• For Pocket Edition (PE), you tap and hold on the Short Grass.
• For Xbox 360 and Xbox One, press and hold the RT button on the Xbox controller.
• For PS3 and PS4, press and hold the R2 button on the PS controller.
• For Wii U, press and hold the ZR button on the gamepad.
• For Nintendo Switch, press and hold the ZR button on the controller.
• For Windows 10 Edition, left click and hold on the Short Grass.
• For Education Edition, left click and hold on the Short Grass.

You will need to continue to clip with the shears until the Short Grass breaks and a smaller Short Grass floats on the ground.

4. Pick up the Short Grass

Make sure you pick up the Short Grass before it disappears.

Once you pick up the Short Grass, it will appear in your hotbar.

Short Grass is a useful item and should be kept in your inventory to be used later.
