Kelp typically grows in temperate to equatorial coastal waters that do not see seasonal freezing in the winter. They can be found in water up to at least fifteen (15) blocks deep, and have been seen spawning on bare, underwater [[Stone|stone]].

While kelp will try to spawn and grow in arctic waters, it will despawn in any water block that changes to [[Ice|ice]]. Occasionally a piece of despawned kelp will survive and be found on top of the ice.

Kelp can be farmed by [[Farming|planting]] it in [[Sand|sand]], [[Dirt|dirt]], or [[Compost|compost]] under two or more blocks of water. This is important because leaving the bottom-most block of kelp in place avoids the need for replanting.

Harvesting kelp by hand produces one unit, but using a [[Machete|machete]] will produce three. Blocks above a harvested block will despawn and may not produce any kelp.
