Spruce Sapling
minecraft:spruce_saplingA Spruce Sapling is a small non-solid plant block that grows into a spruce tree when placed on dirt or moss with enough light and headroom above it. Planting four saplings in a 2x2 grid instead produces a towering mega spruce, and bone meal can force growth instantly regardless of light level.
FAQ
How do you get a Spruce Sapling?
Break spruce leaves for a small chance to drop one (higher with Fortune), buy one from a wandering trader for 5 emeralds, or loot it from taiga village chests.
How do you make a Spruce Sapling grow faster?
Apply bone meal to it. This bypasses the usual light-level requirement and can trigger growth immediately.
What is a mega spruce tree?
Planting four Spruce Saplings together in a 2x2 square grows an oversized mega spruce or mega pine tree, which needs significantly more vertical space than a normal spruce tree.
Can Spruce Saplings be used for anything besides growing trees?
Yes. They can be smelted as a minor furnace fuel, composted for a chance to raise the compost level, or placed in flower pots as decoration.
