Green shrubs were variants of the short grass block ID with block metadata with a value from 3 to 15 inclusive in Java Edition. Unlike the intentionally-implemented shrub, their color changed depending on the biome. It's replaced by the new Bush.

Obtaining

When broken normally, green shrubs had a ¹⁄₈ chance of dropping wheat seeds, due to being a type of grass. This drop rate is affected by Fortune like normal grass as well. Green shrubs could be obtained as an item using shears.

Appearance

Unlike the normal shrub, which was not tinted per biome, the green shrub was, hence its name. This gives rise to many visually distinct colorations:

Issues

Green Shrubs effectively were issues themselves, due to resulting from a quirk of block metadata handling at the time. As they have since been removed with several reworkings of block metadata, they can be considered already fixed.
