How to Grow Apples in Minecraft
Last updated
Ever wondered how you can grow apples in Minecraft? Let’s dive into how you can add this tasty fruit to your Minecraft world.
So, you’re looking to grow apples in Minecraft, right? Well, you’re in for some fun and a bit of a twist in how things work in this blocky universe!
Short Answer: You Can’t Directly Grow Apples
In Minecraft, unlike other crops, you can’t directly plant and grow apples. That might sound like a bummer, but don’t worry! There’s a creative workaround.
To get apples in Minecraft, you need to grow oak or dark oak trees. These trees have a chance to drop apples when their leaves decay or are destroyed. So, in a way, you’re farming trees to farm apples!
Getting Apples the Minecraft Way
First, you’ll need to collect saplings. For apples, oak and dark oak saplings are your go-to. You can find these by breaking leaf blocks on these types of trees.
Once you have your saplings, plant them and watch them grow! Make sure they have enough room and light. After the trees have grown, start breaking the leaf blocks or wait for them to decay naturally. Each leaf block you break has a small chance of dropping an apple. It’s like a treasure hunt!
