Overview
Minecraft classifies Kelp as an underwater block. It has no crafting recipe — you collect it by mining it where it generates. A hardness of 0 means it is one of the quicker blocks to clear.
No specific tool is required to collect it. Broken correctly, it drops itself. Because it is transparent it does not block light.
A blast resistance of 0 means a single creeper will clear it away. It stacks to 64. It goes into exactly one recipe: Dried Kelp.
Properties
With 0 blast resistance Kelp goes down to any nearby explosion. It is transparent to light and produces no light. 64 fit in a slot — a full stack. It is renewable, so one world can supply as much of it as you want.
