About

The Birch Sapling is a plant block you obtain by breaking birch leaves or from various loot sources. Place it on dirt or grass and it will grow into a birch tree given enough light and time. Saplings are stackable up to 64 and have no hardness, so they break instantly with any tool or by hand.

Use saplings to farm wood and leaves without traveling far. Birch wood is lighter in color than oak and useful for building or fuel. On multiplayer servers, you can hand out saplings to players via the /give command to speed up tree farming or decoration projects.
