Minecraft wiki entry for Moss_farming, associated text: All you need to do is place s moss block, then use bone meal on it, and mine it with the hoe. Then go to a different space and repeat the process. This mechanic might not seem like much, but you can use it for moss mining, since moss replaces stone and deepslate with moss but not ores. You won't even need to bring more than one pickaxe, just hoes and bone meal.
