'''Spruces''' and '''pines''' are small and 2×2 [[Minecraft:tree]]s with dark bark and brown wood. They are mainly found in the [[Minecraft:taiga]] biomes, but they may also generate in [[Minecraft:windswept forest]]s, [[Minecraft:snowy plains]], and [[Minecraft:grove]]s.
'''Spruces''' and '''pines''' are [[Minecraft:tree]]s with dark bark and brown wood. They have growth patterns and requirements similar to [[Minecraft:birch]]es, although they appear different. They are mainly found in the [[Minecraft:taiga]] biome (and variants), but they may also generate in [[Minecraft:windswept forest]]s, [[Minecraft:snowy plains]], [[Minecraft:grove]]s, and [[Minecraft:Dappled Forest|dappled forests]]<sup>[''upcoming [[Minecraft:Third Drop 2026]]'']</sup>.

Fallen spruce trees replace regular spruces or pines in any biome where they can generate, except [[Minecraft:groves]].
 
A fallen spruce 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 [[Minecraft:mushroom]]s on top.
 
A fallen spruce log has a length of 6–10 blocks, and the stump is never covered with vines.
 
=== Spruces with vines ===
{{main|Tree with Vines}}{{exclusive|bedrock|section=1}}
 
Regular spruce trees (not pines) sometimes have their trunk covered in [[Minecraft:vines]], except in [[Minecraft:groves]]. When grown from saplings, they also have a chance to be covered with vines.

In [[Minecraft:grove]]s, spruces grow on an additional block of [[Minecraft:dirt]] in the [[Minecraft:snow block]] terrain. In [[Minecraft:ice spikes]], no blocks generate where trees can grow, but they might leak on biome borders.
 
When mega spruces grow, they convert any [[Minecraft:grass block]]s, [[Minecraft:dirt]], [[Minecraft:mycelium]], [[Minecraft:coarse dirt]], [[Minecraft:rooted dirt]], [[Minecraft:mud]], [[Minecraft:muddy mangrove roots]], [[Minecraft:moss block]]s and [[Minecraft:Pale Moss Block|pale moss blocks]] up to a radius of 6 blocks to [[Minecraft:podzol]], centered on the south-eastern sapling.
 
Like birches, they do not grow branches. When height-constrained, the trunk height maximum is two less than the roof. The headroom of 9 blocks limits the tree to a trunk height of 7, which enables harvesting from ground level.

To grow a 2×2 tree (be it mega spruce or mega pine), four saplings must be placed adjacent to each other in a square. For growth to succeed, the three adjacent blocks outside the northwest corner of the square must be clear. Also, there must be an unobstructed 5×5 column of blocks centered on the northwestern sapling, starting from the top of the sapling and at least 14 blocks tall (15 blocks including the sapling), or up to the final height of the tree, which can be 30 blocks above ground. [[Minecraft:Bone meal]] can be used on any of the saplings to accelerate growth.

A fallen spruce 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 [[Minecraft:mushroom]]s on top.

Spruce leaves do not follow the [[Minecraft:tint|foliage color]] rules that cause the trees to appear in different colors in different [[Minecraft:biome]]s.

Template:Infobox structure Spruces and pines are small and 2×2 Minecraft:trees with dark bark and brown wood. They are mainly found in the Minecraft:taiga biomes, but they may also generate in Minecraft:windswept forests, Minecraft:snowy plains, and Minecraft:groves.

Appearance

Template:Info needed section Spruces come in several different variants with different properties:

  • Spruces are the most common variant with a height between 5 and 12 blocks. The leaves tend to grow in discrete rows rather than the more spherical arrangement of oaks and birch trees.
  • Pines are a fairly tall variant of spruces which generate in a matchstick style, with only a few leaves at the top, with a rare variant which is small. They can't be grown from spruce saplings, and generate in slightly fewer biomes.
  • Mega pines are a larger variant of pines which generate in the Minecraft:old growth pine taiga. These pines have few leaves, concentrated at the top, and can be grown from spruce saplings arranged in a 2×2 square, with or without bone meal.
  • Mega spruces are larger variants of spruces which generate in the Minecraft:old growth spruce taiga. They have considerably more leaves than the mega pine.

Fallen spruces

Template:Main

Fallen spruce trees replace regular spruces or pines in any biome where they can generate, except Minecraft:groves.

A fallen spruce 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 Minecraft:mushrooms on top.

A fallen spruce log has a length of 6–10 blocks, and the stump is never covered with vines.

Spruces with vines

Regular spruce trees (not pines) sometimes have their trunk covered in Minecraft:vines, except in Minecraft:groves. When grown from saplings, they also have a chance to be covered with vines.

In Minecraft:groves, spruces grow on an additional block of Minecraft:dirt in the Minecraft:snow block terrain. In Minecraft:ice spikes, no blocks generate where trees can grow, but they might leak on biome borders.

Planting

Spruce Minecraft:saplings may be planted and grown on: Template:Columns-list 1×1 spruces require a 5×5 column of unobstructed space at least 7 blocks above the sapling to grow (8 blocks including the sapling itself). No horizontal clearance is needed at the base of the tree and 1 level above; that is, a sapling planted in a hole 2 blocks deep can still grow.

To grow a 2×2 tree (be it mega spruce or mega pine), four saplings must be placed adjacent to each other in a square. For growth to succeed, the three adjacent blocks outside the northwest corner of the square must be clear. Also, there must be an unobstructed 5×5 column of blocks centered on the northwestern sapling, starting from the top of the sapling and at least 14 blocks tall (15 blocks including the sapling), or up to the final height of the tree, which can be 30 blocks above ground. Minecraft:Bone meal can be used on any of the saplings to accelerate growth.

When height-constrained, the trunk height maximum is two less than the roof. The headroom of 9 blocks limits the tree to a trunk height of 7, which enables harvesting from ground level.

When mega spruces and pines grow, they convert any Minecraft:grass blocks, Minecraft:dirt, Minecraft:mycelium, Minecraft:coarse dirt, Minecraft:rooted dirt, Minecraft:mud, Minecraft:muddy mangrove roots, Minecraft:moss blocks and pale moss blocks up to a radius of 6 blocks to Minecraft:podzol, centered on the south-eastern sapling.

Trivia

  • In real life, "spruce" refers to any member of the Picea genus of trees.
    • Although the leaves of real-life spruce trees are typically referred to as "needles", the Minecraft:leaves of spruce trees in Minecraft are still called "spruce leaves" as well as producing leaf particlesTemplate:Until and being able to be smelted into Minecraft:leaf litter.
