+which references natural terrain. Bare rock is not added to azalea tree soil.

+## Natural stone compatibility in 6.1.4
+
+Sculk, moss, dripstone, goats and bats recognise natural Mineralogy terrain.
+Horn breaking uses the hard raw-rock whitelist; soft rocks and crafted forms
+are excluded. These rules do not depend on cobblestone equivalence. Existing
+worlds gain the behaviour fixes after updating; cave decoration changes new
