Minecraft:Acacia

An acacia is a Minecraft:tree with gray bark and orange wood found in the Minecraft:savanna biomes. Acacias are around 8 blocks tall and feature distinct diagonal trunks and often multiple canopies.

Appearance

Some acacias have many straight Minecraft:logs and a curve at the top, some at the bottom, and some curve from bottom to top. The trunk often splits into multiple branches. Typically, the canopy consists of just two layers of Minecraft:leaves, sometimes three. Acacia trees have high variability and can take many forms, such as:

• The common acacia has a diagonal trunk and a single canopy.
• The multi-canopy acacia has a trunk which forks around the middle of the plant. Each end ends in a canopy.
• Another form of multi-canopy acacia exists where a straight trunk is topped with a small canopy, out of which grows an additional trunk ending in a second, higher canopy. These trees often grow taller than the common acacia.

Acacias in a savanna

Acacias generate naturally only in the Minecraft:savanna biome and its variants, the Minecraft:savanna plateau and Minecraft:windswept savanna. In any of these biomes, they generate at the same density, scattered around the terrain more commonly than trees in Minecraft:plains but far from dense enough to form a forest.

Planting

Acacia Minecraft:saplings can be planted on:

An acacia requires a 3×3 column of unobstructed space at least 6 blocks above the sapling (7 blocks including the sapling itself). Additionally, the tree requires 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).

History

Trivia

• In real life, Acacia is a genus of trees.
• The acacia sapling's color is different from the fully grown tree, as acacia bark is gray while the sapling's bark is brownish orange like the interior of the grown tree's log.<ref>Template:Bug</ref>
• It is the only plant-like feature to be found on the surface of which two blocks (acacia logs in this case) predominantly connect via an edge in the air. Minecraft:Coral blocks are the only other feature for which two blocks may connect via an edge only, with water in between, but they are much more rare according to the coral block distribution graph.
