Obtaining

Breaking

Saplings can be broken instantly using any tool, including the player's fist, and always drop themselves.

A sapling is removed and drops as an item if:

• its attachment block is moved, removed, or destroyed
• Minecraft:water or Minecraft:lava flows into its space
• a Minecraft:piston tries to push it or moves a block into its space
• in Template:Editions, a ravager walks on it, except for cherry or pale oak saplings

Leaves

When 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 sapling, except for jungle leaves, which have a 2.5% chance of dropping a sapling. The Fortune enchantment increases the rate to 6.25% (2.78% for jungle leaves) at level I, 8.33% (3.125% for jungle leaves) at level II, and 10% (4.17% for jungle leaves) at level III.

Natural generation

Spruce

Potted spruce saplings generate in taiga and snowy taigaTemplate:Only village mason houses.

Birch

Potted birch saplings generate in the "Large dining room" and "Master bedroom" rooms in woodland mansions.

Dark oak

The "Sapling farm" room in woodland mansions naturally generates with 58 dark oak saplings and a Minecraft:chest that always contains an additional 28 dark oak saplings.

Acacia

Two acacia saplings generate in front of each savanna village library.

Trading

Wandering traders may sell 1 of any sapling for 5 Minecraft:emeralds. Template:Trade sources

Mob loot

in Template:Editions, wandering traders have a chance of 8.5% (increased by 1% per level of Looting) to drop 1 sapling when killed while showing the item as trade offer, if the player holds an Minecraft:emerald.

Usage

Growing trees

{{#vardefine:params|0 }}Template:Hatnote

Saplings come in eight varieties, each of which can grow into a corresponding tree: oak, birch, spruce, jungle, acacia, dark oak, pale oak, and cherry.

Saplings can grow into trees when placed on all variants of Minecraft:dirt (except dirt paths) or moss blocks. in Template:Editions saplings can only be placed on these blocks normally but can still grow on other blocks.

Saplings have two growth stages (with no visible difference between them using default resources) before growing into trees. Bone meal can be {{#vardefine: control | right click on mouse or left trigger on gamepad }}used to speed up the growth of the sapling, even without sufficient light. Otherwise, the block above the sapling requires a light level of at least 9 for its growth stage to increase.

Some saplings can be grown in a 2x2 pattern to grow into a bigger tree, and some need to be grown in a 2x2 pattern. The chart below shows which sapling grows into which tree under what condition.

When a tree is to be grown, a height is chosen and 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. A certain volume of space is required above the sapling, based on its type:

• Oak 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.
• Birch needs at least 6 spaces above (3×3 column).
• Spruce needs at least 6 spaces above (5×5 column) when placing a single sapling.
  • Giant spruce needs at least 14 spaces above (6×6 columnTemplate:Only or 5×5 column centered on the northwest saplingTemplate:Only) when planted as 4 saplings in a 2×2 square. Also requires the 4×4 area centered on the saplingsTemplate:Only or 3×3 area centered on the northwest saplingTemplate:Only at the same level to be empty.<ref name="MC-8187">Template:Citation</ref>
• Jungle needs at least 5 spaces above (3×3 column) when placing a single sapling.
  • Giant jungle needs at least 11 spaces above (6×6 columnTemplate:Only or 5×5 column centered on the northwest saplingTemplate:Only) when planted as 4 saplings in a 2×2 square. Also requires the 3×3 area centered on the saplings and to the north/west of the sapling at the same level to be empty of any type of block, including transparent ones. However, a giant jungle tree can grow if the north/west blocks are any type of log, wood or leaves.<ref name="MC-8187"></ref>
• Acacia needs at least 6 spaces above (5×5 column).
• Dark oak and pale oak need at least 7 spaces above (6×6 columnTemplate:Only or 3×3 column centered on the northwest saplingTemplate:Only) and must be planted as 4 saplings in a 2×2 square.
• Cherry needs at least 8 spaces above (5×5 column).

In addition:

• A spruce or jungle sapling cannot grow if it is part of a 2×2 square of saplings that doesn't meet the requirements for a giant tree.
  • The sapling searches for a 2×2 square of saplings in the sequence of southeast, northeast, southwest and northwest, only the first found 2×2 sapling square tries to grow, and all the other saplings may serve as obstructions{{

 #vardefine: verifyedition | 

}}<verify for {{#var:verifyedition}}></verify for {{#var:verifyedition}}>{{

 #vardefine: verifyedition | 

}}. And because a 2×2 sapling square sequenced later always contains a sapling within the required space of another sapling square sequenced earlier, all growth attempts of a sapling that is part of more than one 2×2 sapling squares fail.

• Except for giant jungle and giant spruce (as noted above), sapling growth is not affected by nearby blocks on the same level as the sapling(s).

Bee nests

Oak, birch, and cherry trees grown from saplings that are within 2 blocks of any Minecraft:flower, flowering azalea,Template:Only or flowering azalea leavesTemplate:Only have a 5% chance to grow with a bee nest and 2-3 bees in it.

Decoration

Any kind of sapling can be placed in a flower pot.

Fuel

Saplings can be used as fuel in Minecraft:furnaces, smelting 0.5 items per sapling.

Composting

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

Trivia

• If the player stands on the same Minecraft:block as a placed tree sapling, the tree still grows over the player, causing suffocation as it pushes the player out of the block.
