Potted Fern
minecraft:potted_fernPotted Fern is a decorative block formed by placing a Fern into a Flower Pot. It breaks instantly with any tool or bare hand, releasing the flower pot and the fern as two separate item drops, unlike the free-standing fern which needs shears to reliably drop itself.
Uses
- Decoration — A potted fern is purely decorative, commonly used to add jungle or taiga theming to interiors without needing shears to harvest a full fern block from the world.
Found In
- Woodland Mansions and taiga villages — Potted ferns generate naturally in woodland mansions and taiga village mason houses.
- Crafted by the player — Craft an empty flower pot from 3 bricks, then place a fern into it.

FAQ
What tool do I need to mine a Potted Fern?
None — it breaks instantly with any tool or bare hands.
What do I get when I break it?
Two separate items: one Flower Pot and one Fern, unlike breaking a free-standing fern, which needs shears to drop the fern instead of wheat seeds.
Does the potted fern drop wheat seeds like the regular block?
No. Breaking the potted version always yields the fern item itself, since the pot mechanic bypasses the normal seed-drop chance.
Where can I find one already placed?
Woodland mansions and taiga village mason houses generate with a potted fern as decoration.
