Template:Infobox structure A birch is a Minecraft:tree with a single log and canopy and a light bark. It is most commonly found in Minecraft:birch forest biomes and regular forests, and can generate fallen or with a bee nest. Super birches are tall birch trees found only in Minecraft:old growth birch forest and Minecraft:meadow biomes and cannot be grown with saplings.

Appearance

Birches come in two different variants:

Shorter birches can be grown by the player using birch saplings and are found in Minecraft:forest, Minecraft:birch forest, and Minecraft:dark forest biomes.
A taller, rare tree that can only be found in Minecraft:old growth birch forests and rarely in meadows.

Birches that are grown from saplings grow to be 5 to 7 blocks tall, while birches in the old growth birch forest biome can generate with trunks up to 13 blocks in height.

Birches have a chance to generate with a Minecraft:bee nest and 2-3 Minecraft:bees, which is more common in flower forests, guaranteed in meadows, and impossible in dark forests.

Fallen birches

Template:Main

Fallen birches replace regular or super birch trees in any biome where they can generate.

A fallen birch may consist of a single upright log, or a stump. Logs lying on their side are often found 1–2 blocks from the stump. They occasionally have mushrooms on top.

A fallen birch has a log length of 5–8 blocks. A fallen super birch has a log length of 5–15 blocks. The stump is never covered in Minecraft:vines.

Any type of birch tree naturally generated in Minecraft:forests and Minecraft:dark forests (and variants) places Minecraft:leaf litter on the ground.

Planting

Birch Minecraft:saplings can be planted on:

Only normal birches can be grown from saplings. Tall birches only generate naturally in the world.

Birches require a 3×3 column of unobstructed space at least 6 blocks above the sapling to grow (7 blocks including the sapling itself). Additionally, birches require 5×5 layers without obstruction for the top 3 layers of its final height. No horizontal clearance is needed at the base of the tree (a sapling planted in a hole 1 block deep can still grow).

A birch grown from a sapling and within 2 blocks of a flower has a 5% chance of having a bee nest containing 2–3 bees.
