Can you grow trees in minecraft

Harvesting trees is a bit harder, since the trees are really tall. You can do with a top-down technique or with a spiral-up technique. If you want to be able to pause your work or are just afraid of heights, you can put a block of water around the dirt blocks where tree sapings sit on. If you are working with spruce trees, increase the depth to two blocks in case leaves grow over them.

Since the player can only harvest 7 blocks above the ground without climbing on something, the most efficient tree farm design limits the height of trees to 9 blocks. This allows 7 blocks of logs as a "trunk" and 2 block of leaves above that. This is accomplished by adding a ceiling at 10th block above the ground, leaving a space 9 blocks high in which trees can grow. This allows all of the wood from the trees to be harvested quickly and with minimal effort.

The other option is to grab what you can from the ground and use a flint and steel to burn what you can't reach. It should be noted that leaving 9 blocks of space for trees to grow does not guarantee that all trees grow to this height. Trees grow with trunks blocks in height, but not higher. Some may also grow branches despite the height limitation. This height issue can also be avoided by planting a sapling on the bottom of a 2-block-deep hole.

This ensures that the top layer of the tree remains reachable, and has the added benefit of preventing mobs from hiding in the shadow of the tree and surviving daylight.

It also prevents growth of the smallest size, whose leaves would be blocked by the hole. Note that oaks can grow through certain blocks : Small oaks can replace many blocks fences , glass but not glass panes , paintings , stairs , pistons , torches , buttons , ladders and doors , while the branch wood of large oaks can grow through even solid blocks including bedrock.

Because trees grow underground with a nearby light source, and also grow when in direct or diagonal contact with other trees, quite compact arrangements can be used for efficient use of space. Underground saplings rely on torch light to grow.

Various patterns of saplings and torches can be used to achieve varying degrees of space efficiency. Since saplings only require light level 9 to grow, a single torch starting at light level 14 can sufficiently light 60 saplings. However, this torch-efficient model comes at the cost of stability. Trees can grow and block the torch light to other saplings. It is also possible to grow trees to maximize wood for the territory.

However, because the canopies overlap, you harvest fewer saplings. Oak, birch, jungle, and acacia trees ignore logs of their own kind when calculating when to grow. However, spruce trees still require two blocks between other trees. The most space-efficient way to prevent grown trees from blocking light to other saplings is to have every sapling directly next to a torch not diagonal.

The plus-sign shaped units can be arranged to completely fill an area. It is recommended that the perimeter walkway and all blocks with a torch underneath be a different material, such as cobblestone. This allows for quick visual identification during re-planting, of which blocks get saplings and which get torches that may have been inadvertently knocked out during harvest. It is recommended to do the same for torches on the wall, as these may get knocked off by growing trees.

If you dig down two blocks instead, and place the torches under glass blocks, the trees still receive the proper light level, and you are far less likely to inadvertently break your light structure during harvesting or replanting. This design takes account for the fact that all saplings adjacent to the walkway are supplied by light from the torches on the walkway. Note when the tree farm is cut down, the amount of returned saplings per tree is much lower than cutting trees in a forest, as the canopy is shared by many trees.

Using an iron Hoe with Fortune III to break the leaves will, on average, will drop enough saplings to replant the farm. Unlike oak trees, spruce and birch trees never grow to a branched tree. This makes them easier to harvest, but to farm Birch and Spruce trees efficiently, more space is required.

Birches can be planted next to other birches with 2 blocks of space between them since the birch leaves can overlap with other birch leaves. This same spacing holds true for spruces. However, when planting the different types of trees together, birch and spruce trees need 4 blocks of space in between the saplings the tree does not grow if leaves of a different tree are obstructing its path.

Both birch and spruce trees require 9 blocks of vertical space above the sapling to grow regularly 10 is more efficient for growth. Both spruce and birch grow with less space, but not as regularly.

Like other saplings, they must receive light level 8 or better to grow. Acacia trees require six blocks of space from the sapling to the ceiling, if there is any, and at least two empty blocks to each wall. Huge fungi require Bone Meal , Nylium and Fungi to farm. You can make a platform of nylium, apply bonemeal until it generates fungi, then quickly grow the fungi and break the bottom stem to prevent the nylium from decaying.

Cut down the fungus, and break the vegetation and nether wart blocks that generate and compost them, along with all the non-fungus vegetation that generates with using the bone meal on the nylium. With luck, you can get enough bone meal to do it all over again.

You can always farm some other vegetation to produce enough bone meal to make sure you do not run out. Collecting huge fungi blocks in their own biomes is a great way to collect a sufficient amount of wood and decorative blocks early game. The fastest way to use this method is to make an efficiency 5 netherite axe and hoe, then travel to the nether and fly around using an elytra until you come across a warped or crimson forest.

If it's a crimson forest, be sure to bring warped fungus to repel hoglins must be planted, with an area of effect of 15 blocks. After planting a fungus, build a 3x3 platform of gold blocks with a beacon on top for the haste 1 effect. Fly up from the beacon base and destroy the netherrack obstructing the beacon beam.

The haste 1 effect reduces the mining time per stem block by 2gt. This also helps when mining wart blocks and shroomlights, as when combined with an efficiency 3 netherite or diamond hoe, you can mine each block in 1gt.

Setting up and removing a 1 layer beacon in the nether takes on average gt, so this beacon method is effective only if you are mining more than stem blocks, or if it is necessary for instant mining more than 38 blocks. Once the beacon is set up, you can begin harvesting trees.

Huge Fungi normally generate together in clumps, so it's best to climb to the top using twisting vines, and then mine from the top down. Be sure to use a hoe to mine the leaf blocks wart blocks and shroomlights , and your axe to harvest the stems. To marginally increase speed, carry with you a few shulker boxes of unbreaking 3, efficiency 5, gold axes to reduce the mining speed by 1gt per stem block.

Place 2 nylium in a 3x3 grid pattern with 6 blocks in between each one. Spruce trees can be grown as long as there are 7 spaces above the tree in a 5x5 column.

However, there is a variant of the spruce tree that you can grow if you plant 4 saplings in a 2x2 space and there exist 14 spaces above the tree in a 6x6 column. Jungle trees and dark oak trees require certain special conditions. Like the super spruce tree, you will need to plant 4 saplings in a 2x2 space in order for a fully mature tree to grow.

Unlike the spruce tree, you have to have 4 saplings to grow a mature tree. Since jungle saplings are rarer than others you may want to consider whacking the leaves with a fortune enchantment to get enough jungle saplings. The base of the jungle and dark oak trees have 4 blocks which is why it requires 4 saplings. Dark oak trees require 7 spaces above the saplings in a 4x4 column.

Jungle trees require at least 5 blocks of space above the saplings in a 3x3 column. Every tree can be cut down with an axe. If you want to avoid hacking away at leaves all day, you can break all the raw wood blocks in the leaves and the leaves will begin to deteriorate on their own. Jungle trees are special in that you can plant cocoa beans on the trunks of them to grow more cocoa beans. Every other tree is relatively simple and with the 2x2 trees, you can easily procure every wooden block by carving a staircase upwards and mining your way back down.

Trees are an integral part of building in Minecraft. Not only are they nice building blocks, but they are required for crafting the building blocks of crafting.

You need them for crafting sticks, crafting tables, torches, tools, etc. Knowing how each tree operates can help you understand why a tree is not growing or what to expect from the larger variants of trees. Farming trees becomes much less frustrating once you understand their specific conditions. You should see the block become highlighted in your game window. The game control to plant the tree depends on the version of Minecraft:.

You should now see your sapling appear on the ground. Now at this point, you have two choices. You can either wait and let your tree grow into a full-grown tree naturally or you can speed up the growing process using bone meal.
