Straw

Obtaining
Straw can be obtained by breaking tall grass found throughout the world with a Knife, a Stone Flake, or a Scythe. Each block of tall grass broken will yield a single piece of Straw. Straw is also produced as a byproduct when refining Grains.
Straw can also be recovered from its block form, Straw Blocks.
