Using it on grass with enough space will cause long grass and flowers to appear. Before bone meal

After bone meal

You can also use the bone meal on the underside of the block and long grass will still grow.

  • Doesn't it make tree saplings instantly grow too?

    @danixd It does (and wheat) but that is not the 'new' use for it introduced in 1.6.6

    @GSto It does and always has said that in the answer.

  • @James my bad, didn't notice the emphasis on new. (I didn't know this about wheat either, thanks!)

The function of bonemeal and grass has not changed in the 7 months between 1.6.6 and 1.0.1.

It will still give you long grass and flowers. The former is likely to become important since sheep will be able to eat it next patch to regrow their wool.
