}}Oak Saplings are [[Minecraft:Sapling|saplings]] that grow into [[Minecraft:Oak|oak trees]].

== Obtaining ==

=== Breaking ===
Oak saplings can be [[Minecraft:instant mining|broken instantly]] using any tool, including the player's fist, and always drop themselves.
{{breaking row|Saplings|horizontal=1}}

=== Natural generation ===

=== Generated loot ===
{{LootChestItem|oak-sapling}}

=== Trading ===
[[Minecraft:Wandering trader|Wandering traders]] may sell 1 oak sapling for 5 [[Minecraft:Emerald|emeralds]].

=== Post-generation ===
When oak [[Minecraft:leaves]] decay, or are broken by any tool except [[Minecraft:shears]] or tools with [[Minecraft:Silk Touch]], they have a 5% chance of dropping a oak sapling. The [[Minecraft:Fortune]] enchantment increases the rate to 6.25% at level I, 8.33% at level II, and 10% at level III.

== Usage ==

=== Growing trees ===
{{see also|Tree}}Oak saplings can grow into oak trees when placed on all variants of [[Minecraft:dirt]] (except [[Minecraft:Dirt path|dirt paths]]) or [[Minecraft:Moss block|moss blocks]].

Oak saplings have two growth stages (with no visible difference between them using default resources) before growing into trees. [[Minecraft:Bone meal]] can be {{control|used}} to speed up the growth of the oak sapling, even to grow the tree without sufficient light. Otherwise, the block above the oak sapling needs to be a [[Minecraft:light]] level of at least 9 for its growth stage to increase and for it to grow into a tree.

When a tree is to be grown, a height is chosen and then the ground and space above are checked; if the ground is bad or there is no space for the chosen height, the tree does not grow. Oak saplings needs at least 5 spaces above (3×3 column) to grow normally. If a block is present in the growth space (but not directly above the sapling), the tree still grows, but is forced to grow a large variant.

{{IN|java}}, blocks in the {{cd|#replaceable_by_trees}} [[Minecraft:tag]] are treated as empty, and all types of log blocks, wood blocks, stripped variants, and leaves are exceptions (they don't stop growth). {{IN|bedrock}}, log and wood blocks are treated like other block types and stop the sapling from growing if they are above it.

When a oak sapling on a [[Minecraft:grass block]] grows into a tree, the grass block becomes a dirt block.

=== Bee nests ===
Oak trees grown from saplings that are within 2 blocks of any [[Minecraft:flower]], [[Minecraft:flowering azalea]],{{only|je|short=1}} or [[Minecraft:flowering azalea leaves]]{{only|je|short=1}} have a 5% chance to grow with a [[Minecraft:bee nest]] and 2-3 bees in it.

=== Decoration ===
An oak sapling can be placed in a [[Minecraft:flower pot]].

=== Fuel ===
Oak sapling can be used as a fuel in [[Minecraft:Furnace|furnaces]], smelting 0.5 items per oak sapling.

=== Composting ===
Placing a oak sapling into a [[Minecraft:composter]] has a 30% chance of raising the compost level by 1. A stack of oak saplings yields an average of 2.74 [[Minecraft:bone meal]].

== Issues ==
{{issue list|Oak Sapling}}

== Trivia ==

* If the [[Minecraft:player]] stands on the same [[Minecraft:block]] as a placed oak sapling, the oak tree still grows over the player, causing [[Minecraft:suffocation]] as it pushes the player out of the block.
* Before [[Minecraft:17w47a]], all saplings were different blockstates of oak saplings.
** For [[Minecraft:Bedrock Edition]], saplings didn't have sepreate block ids until [[Minecraft:Bedrock Edition 1.20.80|1.20.80]].
