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.

Block	Weak Roots
Hardness	0.4
Breaking time (secs)
Default	0.6
Options
Haste	001 1JEBE

Legend

• incorrect tool, drops nothing
• correct tool, drops nothing or something other than the block itself
• correct tool, drops the block itself
• italicized can be instant mined

Natural generation

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

Usage

Unlike strong roots, weak roots don't grow. To achieve any growth, player 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.
