How to make a Moss Block in Minecraft

This Minecraft tutorial explains how to craft a moss block with screenshots and step-by-step instructions.

In Minecraft, a moss block is a new item that was introduced in the Caves & Cliffs Update: Part I. It is an item that you can not make with a crafting table or furnace. Instead, you need to find and gather this item in the game.
