- Furnace Fuel — Saplings can be burned as furnace fuel, smelting half an item each, though they are a weak fuel source.
Found In
- Decaying Birch Leaves — Birch Leaves have a 5% chance (10% with Fortune III) to drop a sapling when they decay or are broken without Silk Touch.
- Village chests and wandering traders — Occasionally found in village loot chests or purchasable from wandering traders for emeralds.
