A '''lily pad''' is a short, flat non-solid [[block]] that can be found naturally growing only on [[water]], in [[swamp]]s and [[wheat]] farm rooms in [[woodland mansion]]s.

== Obtaining ==

=== Breaking ===
Lily pads can be instantly [[breaking|mined]] with anything. They also break from collisions with boats.

=== Natural generation ===
Lily pads can be found naturally on [[water]] in [[swamp]]s and [[wheat]] farm rooms of [[woodland mansion]]s.

=== Fishing ===
Lily pads can be obtained as a "treasure"{{only|BE}} or "junk"{{only|JE}} [[item]] while [[fishing]].

=== Trading ===
[[Wandering trader]]s can [[trading|sell]] lily pads in sets of 2 for one [[emerald]].

== Usage ==
Lily pads can be used to make paths over [[water]] without having to build bridges or use full [[block]]s. [[Mob]]s cannot spawn on lily pads. A lily pad is broken and [[Drops|drops as an item]] when water flows on it.

Normal blocks can be placed on the bottom side of lily pads (from below). This breaks the lily pad (dropping it as an item), but leaves the block in place.  Blocks can also be placed on top of lily pads, though the placed block appears to hover over the pad rather than rest on it.<ref>{{bug|MC-14156}} Resolved as works as intended</ref>

A lily pad can be used as a starting point for construction on an ocean surface without having to build up from the ocean floor (see also [[kelp]] for this purpose).

=== Placement ===
Lily pads can be placed only on top of [[water]], [[ice]] or [[frosted ice]]. Lily pads occupy the block above water and are not part of the water block itself.

Lily pads must be directly planted on the top of a water, ice or frosted ice block; unlike most blocks, targeting the side of a block that would result in it being placed on top of a valid block does not allow it to be placed. Similarly, targeting the sides or bottom of a block that can support a lily pad will place the lily pad on top.<ref>{{bug|MC-136405}}</ref> {{IN|Java}}, lily pads can be placed on waterlogged blocks, including top half slabs.

A lily pad faces a consistent direction that depends on its location; it is unaffected by the direction the [[player]] faces. Replacing a lily pad does not change the direction.

{{IN|Bedrock}}, unlike most blocks entities can collide with, lily pads can be placed directly inside players.<ref>{{bug|MCPE-32638}} Resolved as works as intended</ref><ref>{{bug|MCPE-112516}}</ref>

=== Composting ===
Placing a lily pad into a [[composter]] has a 65% chance of raising the compost level by 1.

== Appearance ==
* In the inventory, lily pads have the color: {{Color|#71c35c}}.
* Otherwise, lily pads have the color: {{Color|#208030}}.

== Trivia ==

* When lily pads are placed on [[water]] source blocks that do not take up the space of the entire block (when the water is flowing to the block next to it), the lily pad appears floating above the water source block.
*Lily pads are the only block whose height is not an integer multiple of 1/16 (size of one pixel on the default texture pack). It is 1.5 pixels high, or 0.09375 or 3/32 blocks high.
* If the [[player]] sprints{{verify|type=current|still affecting bedrock edition? if so, bedrock only}} or falls on lily pads, they appear to give off water [[particle]]s. This is because the game thinks the player is technically on the water below the lily pad.<ref>{{bug|MC-1133}}</ref><ref>{{bug|MCPE-18063}}</ref>
