Generation[]

Normal Moss generates in patches in Swamplands and Patchy Islands biomes and the Swamplands Clearing sub-biome, as well as underground in the Cavern and Lake Cavern layers. It also generates on natural Giant Roots and Idol Head Statues.

Properties[]

Coloration[]

Moss takes on different foliage colors depending on what biome it is in. The foliage color is:

Growth and Decay[]

Regular Moss naturally goes through cycles of growth, spreading to nearby blocks slowly over time and eventually dying out.

Dead Moss does not grow.

Igniting[]

Moss can be used to create fire by holding right-click on either its placed or dropped form with an Octine Ingot. Moss that is adjacent to or on a Block of Octine will also catch fire, although this fire will not spread to further Moss blocks.

Events[]

Placed Moss will take on alternative textures during the Spook and Winter seasonal events, which are not affected by biome foliage colors.

Drops[]

Moss drops nothing when broken. The block itself must be broken with Syrmorite Shears to be collected. When broken with a Sickle, it instead drops a Moss (item).

Uses[]

Compostability[]

Regular Moss has a compost process time of 7 minutes and 30 seconds and a compost amount of 6. Dead Moss has a compost process time of 2 minutes and 30 seconds and a compost amount of 6. Visit the Compost page for more information regarding the composting mechanic.
