Template:For Template:Infobox structure

An oak is the most common Minecraft:tree in the game, found in a variety of Minecraft:biomes and available in several variants. It has the smallest initial space requirement for growth, and along with dark oaks, its Minecraft:leaves have a chance to drop an Minecraft:apple. As with Minecraft:birches and Minecraft:cherries, an oak grown near Minecraft:flowers can generate with a Minecraft:bee nest attached.

There are three variants of the oak tree: small regular oaks, tall and branching fancy oaks, and Minecraft:swamp oaks which cannot be grown. They can also generate fallen or dying.Template:Only

Appearance

Oaks come in several variants with different properties:

  • Small regular oaks are the most common, with a distinct shape similar to Minecraft:birches.
  • Fancy oaks are less common and have a distinct look and different growth requirements. They often have branches, outgrowths of logs on the sides of the trunk, or even freestanding logs surrounded by leaves. The sapling requires 4–14 blocks of open space directly above to grow (air or leaves only) but can otherwise be completely enclosed on all sides.
    • A fancy oak form exists with a single leaf block layer above the minimal 4-block trunk, rarely allowing a tree to grow in a vertical space with a height of only 5, but otherwise, the maximum trunk height is 2 less than the vertical space, making the practical minimum height 6. Branches and outgrowths, however, require 8 blocks of open space directly above the sapling.
    • An oak can be forced into a fancy configuration if a "brace" of non-solid blocks (e.g. glass or slabs) is placed around where the trunk would be, one block off the ground.
    • A rare variant is colloquially known as a "balloon" oak. This is a fancy oak generated with the smallest size possible. It consists of a tall trunk and leaves that form a spherical shape, similar to a balloon. These oaks can grow around an obstructing block. They usually contain 4 blocks of logs, but some may contain more.
  • In swamp biomes, naturally occurring Minecraft:swamp oaks tend to grow in the water. Unlike trees in other biomes, which typically have a slightly conical or pointed canopy, all swamp oaks have round, flat-topped canopies. Also, unlike oaks, these have a broad range of foliage. They tend to be covered in Minecraft:vines that trail down to the ground.
  • Two unique oak with unique leaf arrangements generate in some structures and cannot be grown from saplings:

Generation

In Minecraft:forests, Minecraft:dark forests, and Minecraft:wooded badlands (and variants), all naturally generated oaks spawn Minecraft:leaf litter on the ground below.

Blocks and items

These items can be obtained from oaks:

Planting

Oak Minecraft:saplings can be planted and grown on all of these blocks:

An oak requires a 1×1 column of unobstructed space at least 4 blocks above its sapling to grow (5 blocks including the sapling itself), While the fancy oak variant requires 4-14 blocks above a sapling. Oaks can still grow when the base and trunk are enclosed on all sides. Their growth is not hindered by Minecraft:logs, Minecraft:leaves, dirt, or saplings.

An oak grown from a sapling within 2 blocks of a flower has a 5% chance of having a Minecraft:bee nest containing 2-3 bees.

Other oak variants

Oak trees can generate as one of the two following variants of the normal tree. Both of these generate naturally, and can be grown out of normal saplings.<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20190711143349/http://i.imgur.com/hTg0N8J.gifv</ref><ref>Template:Bug</ref>

Fallen oaks

Template:Main A fallen oak log.

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

A fallen oak has a log length of 4–7 blocks and the stump is 75% covered with vines.

Dying oaks

The different dying tree types.

Dying oaks retain their standard growth pattern. However, all exposed logs in the main trunk are covered with Minecraft:vines. They can generate as regular or small oaks.
