About Dried Kelp Block
Dried Kelp Block is a storage block made from Dried Kelp. It is mostly used as furnace fuel: one block burns long enough to smelt 20 items, making it a strong option for bulk smelting. It is not a food, even though it comes from an edible ingredient.
The block also acts as compact storage. You can craft one block from nine Dried Kelp, then uncraft it back into nine Dried Kelp whenever you need the food item again. This makes it a convenient way to store large amounts of kelp from a farm.
How to get Dried Kelp Block
You can only get Dried Kelp Blocks by crafting them. Fill a crafting grid with nine Dried Kelp to make one block. To get Dried Kelp, smelt ordinary Kelp in a furnace, smoker, or campfire. Kelp is easy to farm underwater, so the whole process is renewable.
