Minecraft:Sweet Berries

Sweet berries are a Minecraft:food item obtained from sweet berry bushes and are used to plant them.

Sweet berry bushes are quick-growing Minecraft:plants that grow sweet berries. Minecraft:Players and most Minecraft:mobs are slowed down and take constant damage while moving through them. They can be found naturally in Minecraft:taiga and Minecraft:snowy taiga biomes.

Obtaining

Natural generation

Berry bushes commonly generate in Minecraft:taiga and Minecraft:snowy taiga biomes. Each Minecraft:chunk has a Template:Frac chance to generate sweet berry bushes in Minecraft:random patches. They also generate in both Minecraft:old growth pine taiga and Minecraft:old growth spruce taiga biomes.

Breaking

Template:See also Sweet berry bushes can be mined instantly with any tool or by hand. A mature sweet berry bush yields 2–3 sweet berries. On its third growth stage, it yields 1–2 sweet berries. Each level of Minecraft:Fortune can increase the amount of drops by 1. Template:Breaking row

Harvesting

Sweet berries can be collected from a sweet berry bush by pressing the Template:Control control on it, yielding 1–2 sweet berries in its third growth stage, and 2–3 sweet berries in its final growth stage. After dropping the berries on the ground, the sweet berry bush reverts to its second growth stage.

Usage

Placement

Placing sweet berries on a Minecraft:grass block, Minecraft:dirt, Minecraft:coarse dirt, Minecraft:rooted dirt, Minecraft:farmland, Minecraft:podzol, Minecraft:mycelium, Minecraft:moss block, Minecraft:mud, or Minecraft:muddy mangrove roots creates a small sweet berry bush that eventually becomes a fully grown sweet berry bush.

Growth

A sweet berry bush grows through four stages after it is planted. Its first growth stage is a small bush without any berries. It becomes a grown plant in its second stage, and produces berries in its third and fourth growth stage. The bush needs to be in light level 9 or greater to grow. The bush can be placed on a 1 block high space, but it cannot grow with a full, non-transparent block immediately above it. Template:Control Minecraft:bone meal on it increases its growth stage by one, regardless of light level and available space, and at full maturity, ejects the sweet berry item.

Food

To eat sweet berries, press and hold Template:Control while it is selected in the hotbar. Eating one restores Template:Hunger Minecraft:hunger and 0.4Template:Only / 1.2Template:Only hunger Minecraft:saturation.

Composting

Placing sweet berries into a Minecraft:composter has a 30% chance of raising the compost level by 1.

Breeding

Sweet berries can be fed to Minecraft:foxes to Minecraft:breed them. Foxes are similar to cats when being fed as a wild animal; a sudden movement by the Minecraft:player may cause the fox to flee even if the player holds sweet berries. A baby fox bred by a Minecraft:player trusts the player and does not flee.

Entity movement

A sweet berry bush (at any stage) slows down all Minecraft:entities (except items) passing through it. At stage 1 and higher, it causes damage. Minecraft:Foxes are immune to both characteristics, however. Sweet berry bushes deal Template:Hp Minecraft:damage every tick (although Minecraft:damage immunity reduces this to once every half-second), only if the entity is moving in the hitbox of the bush. Entities that move through sweet berry bushes slow down to about 34.05% of their normal speed, similar to how a Minecraft:cobweb slows down mobs to 25% of normal speed. This makes it impossible to jump a full Minecraft:block while inside the bush.

A sweet berry bush of any growth stage negates all fall damage of entities inside it.

Mobs at standard block height in a Minecraft:minecart are not damaged when the minecart is pushed through sweet berries. Players in a sweet berry bush take no damage except from horizontal movement, but are unable to jump out of the bush, similar to a cobweb.

Bees

Minecraft:Bees do not collect nectar from sweet berry bushes, nor will they take damage from being in contact with a sweet berry bush. Sweet berry bushes can be pollenated by bees, accelerating their growth by one stage.

History

Trivia

• Template:IN, sweet berry bushes absorb Minecraft:fall damage like Minecraft:water.<ref>Template:Bug</ref>
• Foxes harvest mature sweet berry bushes that have grown into their third or fourth stage. Unlike how carrots eaten by rabbits are destroyed and not dropped as items, sweet berry bushes harvested by foxes drop as items, although the fox may pick up one of the dropped berries. The bush remains intact, allowing for automatic sweet berry farms.
