Floating grass removal ?

[Bassmon]

I love this game so far, but I've come upon a problem when "landscaping" in that there are floating areas of grass. I've tried to get rid of them, but they will not highlight to get rid of them. I've also tried a rake and sickle with no effect.
Any help would be appreciated.

Have you tried adding blocks to the area from ground up until it covers the floating grass then remove those blocks?

If you have tried all the normal ways to remove the grass and still not having any luck you can go into creative mode by pressing the tilde key (next to 1 ) and type GM 1 this will take in into the creative mode with options at the top just press F5 to select terrain. but not sure why in the first place why it isn't removing the grass??? remember to press the Tilde key again and type GM 0 to return to normal game mode ( have you tired the pickaxe )

Hmm... Can you maybe post a screenshot of the floating grass? Are there really just some grass blades in the air, or is there also a small chunk of terrain under it? In general it's important to aim at the ground instead of the grass blades when using the sickle, scythe or rake... otherwise you could try placing some stone or dirt, basically this should replace all remaining pieces of gras.

Alternatively use the creative mode, as suggested by @Groovaholic. Removing the floating grass with the terrain tools (F5) should definitely work ;)

Left for a bit, then went back in game. The floating grass is now gone.
Thanks everyone for the suggestions, so maybe it was lag or they just still showed to me even though they were not there. I'm just messing around on the single player game, and was not on a player server.

That happens to me a lot. I just hit escape and load my game. Any time I have problems like not being able to move or the grass getting stuck in the air after using the rake. I quit and load my game and it fixes the problem.

I had the same issue in one of my games. We were raking an area flat and when the ground came down, a small patch of grass was left floating in the air about waist high. We tried the rake and the sickle, but neither worked. It was as if the game wasn't registering the presence of the grass since there was no collision between the clump and the tools. As OP said, leaving the game and reentering caused the grass to disappear.

I've had "floating" plants & grass when terraforming, too - I've always just taken an axe to them and they disappear.

I've had that too. This is different because the tools go right through the clump as if it isn't there no matter what angle I try to hit it from.
