Jungle trees are features native to the jungle biome. Jungle trees range from short bushes to tall trees that reach up to 31 blocks in height. Their wood is of a pale brownish color.

The jungle bush is a variant of the jungle tree that is short and generates along the floor of jungles.

Appearance

Jungle trees come in several different variants with different properties:

• Regular jungle trees are short, lack branches, and have a 1×1 trunk. The leaves of these trees are arranged the same way as the birch tree leaf arrangement. Cocoa pods occasionally generate on the sides of regular jungle trees.
• Mega jungle trees grow branches (logs connected horizontally, vertically or diagonally to the trunk or other branches). Most of the time, a single tree has between one and six branches, and each branch has between one and six logs. The trunk covers a 2×2 space on the ground.

Generation

The jungle tree variants generate naturally in the indicated biomes:

Biome	Jungle	Mega jungle
Bamboo Jungle	No	Yes
Jungle	Yes	Yes
Sparse Jungle	Yes	No

A large jungle tree always generates with dirt under its trunk, even if it spawns partly or wholly over air or water blocks.

Blocks and items

These items can be obtained from jungle trees:

• Jungle Log (harvested with any tool including hands)
• Jungle Leaves (harvested with shears, or a Silk Touch tool)
• Stick (chance of dropping when breaking leaves)
• Jungle Planks (created from a log in the inventory crafting grid)
• Vines (harvested with shears)
• Stripped Jungle Log (created by using an axe on a log)
• Jungle Sapling (low chance of dropping when breaking leaves)

When jungle tree leaves decay or are destroyed, a jungle sapling drops 2.5% (¹⁄₄₀) of the time – half the chance of other tree leaves.

Planting

Jungle tree saplings can be planted on:

• Dirt
• Grass Block
• Coarse Dirt
• Podzol
• Mycelium
• Rooted Dirt
• Moss Block
• Pale Moss Block
• Farmland
• Mud
• Muddy Mangrove Roots

This jungle tree cannot grow because of the red wool block (looking from the northwestern corner)

When planted in grass or dirt, a jungle sapling grows into a jungle tree with a 1×1 trunk, but the player can place saplings in a 2×2 formation and they grow into a jungle tree with the 2×2 trunk found naturally in the jungle biome.

1×1 jungle trees require a 3×3 column of unobstructed space at least 5 blocks above the sapling to grow (6 blocks including the sapling itself). Additionally, 1×1 jungle trees require 5×5 layers without obstruction for the top 3 layers of its final height. No horizontal clearance is needed at the base of the tree (a sapling planted in a hole 1 block deep still grows).

In order to grow a 2×2 jungle tree, four saplings must be placed adjacent to each other in a square. For growth to succeed, there must be no blocks adjacent (even diagonally) to the north-western side up to the final height of the tree. Bone meal can be used on any of the saplings to accelerate growth.

2×2 jungle trees require a 5×5 column of unobstructed space at least 11 blocks above the saplings to grow (12 blocks including the saplings themselves). This column is centered on the northwestern sapling. A 3×3 area is required at the base of the tree (the level of the saplings). They can grow up to 32 blocks high.

If planted by the player, 1×1 jungle trees do not generate with vines, while 2×2 jungle trees do. 2×2 jungle trees cannot grow side by side because the vines break the space clearance requirement.

Other jungle tree variants

Jungle trees can generate as one of the two following variants of the normal tree. Both of these generate naturally, and can be grown out of normal saplings.

Fallen jungle trees

A fallen jungle tree may consist of a single upright log, or a stump. Logs lying on their side are often found 1–2 blocks from the stump. They occasionally have mushrooms on top.

A fallen jungle tree has a log length of 4–11 blocks. Vines cover 75% of the stump.

Dying jungle trees

The different dying tree types.

A dying jungle tree has the standard growth pattern of any other tree, although all exposed logs in the main trunk are covered with vines.

Foliage colors

A tree situated on the boundary of a dark oak forest, swamp and birch forest biome, showing skins of all three on its leaves.

Depending on where the tree generates, the color of the leaves may differ. For example, a jungle tree's leaves are normally bright deep green in the jungle, but they have a beige tint in badlands biomes.

Leaves are checked individually for biome coloration rather than as part of a larger tree; as such, trees that were grown between biomes usually have multiple shades on each side.
