This Minecraft tutorial explains how to craft grass with screenshots and step-by-step instructions.

In Minecraft, grass is an item that you can not make with a crafting table or furnace. Instead, you need to find and gather this item in the game.

Let’s explore how to add grass to your inventory.

Where to find Grass in Creative Mode

Minecraft Java Edition (PC/Mac)

Here is where you can find grass in the Creative Inventory menu:

Platform Version(s) Creative Menu Location
Java Edition (PC/Mac) 1.8 – 1.19
Java Edition (PC/Mac) 1.19.3 – 1.19.4
  • Platform is the platform that applies.
  • Version(s) is the Minecraft version numbers where the item can be found in the menu location listed (we have tested and confirmed this version number).
  • Creative Menu Location is the location of the item in the Creative Inventory menu.

Required Materials to make Grass

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

1 Shears

How to get Grass in Survival Mode

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

1. Find Grass Growing

First, you need to find 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 grass depends on the version of Minecraft:

  • For Java Edition (PC/Mac), left click and hold on the grass.
  • For Pocket Edition (PE), you tap and hold on the 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 grass.
  • For Education Edition, left click and hold on the grass.

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

4. Pick up the Grass

Make sure you pick up the grass before it disappears.

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

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