Wood is one of the most important building resources at Minecraft. Although it is very easy to get it, with large-scale construction projects you can not do without large stocks or your own farms. And on public servers, you can generally appear on the ground without any resources. How to grow a tree in Minecraft yourself? The answer to this question will be given below.
What do you need?
Before you grow a tree in Minecraft, you will need its seedlings. With a 5% probability, you can get them when collecting leaves in the crowns of trees. Therefore, you can not do without wild plants even in small quantities. When playing on your own server, it’s easier to switch to creative mode than to once again rub your nerves in search of vegetation in the tundra.
If you want to build a "farm" of trees, then torches and some boards can also come in handy. But first things first.
Farm
How to grow a tree in Minecraft? The easiest way to set up wood production is to build a farm. To do this, you need several shoots of a particular breed. Oak is ideal. It gives a lot of wood, has a high crown, and sometimes apples can be obtained from the crown.
To create a farm, mark plot 9 into 9 cells. Plant a seedling in each corner. Also do this in the central cells. In total, you get 9 seedlings. Just after waiting a while, you can chop wood.
In some cases, at a height of 10 blocks, you can build a ceiling of any solid materials. Then the tree trunk will be only 7 units in height, and it can be completely cut down, standing directly on the ground. However, remember that the ceiling will give a shadow, and the plant needs a lot of light for growth.
Another way to grow several trees for easy harvesting is to use torches. It is known that loose and grassy blocks burn up when falling onto a torch. Thus, you can place several torches on your plot so that they burn growing branches. On the one hand, this will facilitate the collection of wood from trunks, and on the other, it will reduce the number of harvested sprouts from the crowns of trees. Also, this method will require a little more space for growing, since torches will be perceived as an object that impedes growth, and they must be placed at a distance of at least 2 cells from the trunk.
Giants
What else do you need to know? Some species of wood can grow into giant trees of incomprehensible height, so you get a practically inexhaustible source of materials. How to grow a big tree in Minecraft?
- To do this, plant 4 sprouts right next to each other, without dividing them with land or buildings.
- Provide enough space above the plant.
- Leave at least 3 free blocks to the side of the barrel.
- Use the sprouts of one plant - spruce or tropical tree.
We should also mention the dark oak. This tree in itself grows to enormous size, but also requires 4 seedlings for planting, as is the case with giants.
Acceleration
The last thing you need to know is how to quickly grow a tree in Minecraft. Growth acceleration is one of the most significant processes. In general, the player has two options.
- Wait. Just go to bed and time automatically rewinds. Unfortunately, this option is not suitable for public servers, since all players online should go to bed.
- Use bone meal on the sprout (from 2 to 10 pieces), which can be made from skeleton bones.
Thus, you do not need to build entire farms for the production of trees. You will receive everything you need when cutting right on the spot and at night when hunting. The only problem may be the extraction of dust. Skeletons, although they are quite common monsters, but their long-range attack causes a lot of problems. To counter them, use a shield. In close combat, bounced arrows can also injure your opponent.
