| “ | In the glens of the Morgai on the other side of the valley low scrubby trees lurked and clung, coarse grey grass-tussocks fought with the stones, and withered mosses crawled on them; and everywhere great writhing, tangled brambles sprawled. | ” |

Withered moss is a plant sometimes found on the surface of the Mordor biome. It grows in patches all over the Land of Shadow, on Mordor Rock, Dirt, Gravel, and Basalt (renewed only). When on Mordor Rock, it alters the side-texture of the block, like snow does to grass and stone, giving the appearance of moss draping over the side.
In the renewed version only, withered moss has a chance to grow when bone meal is used on Mordor rock, dirt, or gravel. It cannot be grown directly on basalt, but may grow on nearby basalt if bone meal is used on one of the growable blocks.
Withered moss has an appearance of a flat, dead plant, killed by the darkness, poisonous fumes, and lack of rain brought on by Mount Doom.

Use[]
Withered Moss drops nothing when broken with the player's fist, but can be harvested properly with shears. From there, it can be used as decoration, though again, it can only be placed on Mordor rock, dirt, gravel, or basalt (renewed only). It can also be used as low-quality fuel in a forge.
