Description

Muddy Mangrove Roots is a full, opaque building block added in the 1.19 Wild Update, found naturally throughout the Mangrove Swamp biome where mangrove trees meet the mud below. Where regular Mangrove Roots have an open, see-through lattice, the muddy version is packed solid with mud, giving a darker reddish-brown texture streaked with grey. You craft it by combining one Mud and one Mangrove Roots in any crafting grid, which returns a single Muddy Mangrove Roots block. It mines fastest with a hoe but drops itself when broken with any tool or by hand. Because it is fully solid, it blocks light and stops mob spawns like normal terrain, which makes it a reliable foundation, path, and ground-fill block for swamp-themed builds.
