FAQ
How do you obtain Bone Meal?
Bone Meal can be crafted from bones (one bone yields three bone meal), obtained by breaking down a bone block into nine bone meal, produced by filling a composter with plant items, or rarely dropped by fished mobs like pufferfish and salmon.
What does Bone Meal do to crops?
Applying bone meal to crops like wheat and carrots advances their growth stage instantly, sometimes skipping multiple stages at once, though some plants such as cactus and nether wart are unaffected.

Yes. Saplings have roughly a 45% chance per use to grow into trees, and mushrooms have about a 40% chance to grow into huge mushrooms when bone meal is applied on suitable ground.
What else can Bone Meal be used for?
Bone Meal is also a crafting ingredient for white dye and can be compressed into bone blocks, and in some editions it is used to color beds, banners, and other dyed blocks.
