Description
A jungle sapling is a small plant that you place to grow a full jungle tree. It is the starting point for planting new trees and is a renewable source of jungle wood when you want to build with that material. The sapling looks like a small leafy shoot and it grows into a tall tree when given space and the right conditions. Players plant saplings to create jungles, replenish tree resources and to shape the look of their base. They are useful for landscaping and for creating canopies and shaded areas around homes. Because jungle trees can be very tall you should leave room for them to grow or use bone meal to speed up growth. Saplings are an important part of renewable building since you can always plant more and harvest the resulting logs for planks and other items. They are small and light weight which makes them easy to move and place during planning stages of a build.
What is Jungle Sapling?
A jungle sapling is a placeable plant that grows into a jungle tree over time or when stimulated with bone meal. It is the typical method for creating new jungle trees in both survival and creative play. Saplings allow players to renew their wood supplies and to build natural scenery without relying on existing trees.
Where to find Jungle Sapling
Jungle saplings are found when jungle trees are cut down and their leaves decay resulting in sapling drops. They can also be found in chests in some generated structures and are commonly traded with villagers for wood based needs. Players carry saplings in their inventory to plant where needed.
How to get Jungle Sapling
Collect saplings by breaking jungle leaves or by allowing leaves to decay naturally after a tree is cut down. Use shears to collect leaves without destroying them or just harvest logs and wait for the drops. In creative mode pick saplings from the inventory or use the give command to add them instantly.

How to use Jungle Sapling
Plant the sapling on dirt or grass and wait for it to grow into a full jungle tree. Use bone meal to grow it quickly for fast wood production. Place several saplings to create groves or to design shaded areas and gardens. Keep enough space for the tree to reach full height so it can grow without obstruction.
