Natural generation[]
Hanging roots can generate inside a lush cave beneath an azalea tree on the surface above.
Post-generation[]
Using bone meal on rooted dirt causes hanging roots to grow below the block.
Hanging roots may be obtained by using a hoe on rooted dirt, transforming the rooted dirt into normal dirt in the process.
Usage[]
They can only be placed on the underside of a block.
Composting[]
Placing hanging roots into a composter has a 30% chance of raising the compost level by 1.
