I noticed there's no page for the Lily Pad block. I'm terrible with this wiki editor and you seem to be really good at it so I wonder if you could create the page.

Mechanics:  it acts somewhat like a flower, that is, you can mine it with shears and then place it on water, but after that it doesn't change. I placed some on the water in my farm, hoping one lily pad would grow into many and cover all the water, but it didn't happen. (Flowers don't multiply either.)  I think lily pads are useful for walking over the water in farms instead of falling in and slowing down. I suspect that they would also keep spawned crops from falling into the farm water too, but I don't have enough lily pads right now to verify that.

I learned this because my world has a river village and there were some dropped lily pads on one of the gravel roads and they ended up in my inventory. Otherwise I never would have thought to mine a lily pad.

Thanks!
