What is Large Fern in Minecraft?
A large fern is a two block tall, leafy green plant found in some of Minecraft's lusher biomes. It looks like a bigger, fuller version of the regular fern. Its main purpose is for decoration, helping to make the world feel more alive, dense, and natural. Players use large ferns to add variety and height to their gardens, create realistic jungle or forest floors, or to landscape the area around their base. Unlike flowers, large ferns do not provide dye, so their value is almost entirely in their appearance. They are a simple but essential block for any builder who wants to create beautiful, natural looking scenery with more verticality than regular grass and ferns.
How to get Large Fern in Minecraft
Getting a large fern is very easy. They generate naturally in several biomes, most commonly in jungles, taigas (especially giant tree taigas), and swamp biomes. You can also find them in lush caves. To collect a large fern, you must use a pair of shears. If you break a large fern with your hand or any other tool, it will be destroyed and will not drop as an item. So, the first step is to craft a pair of shears using two iron ingots. Since a large fern is two blocks tall, you can break either the top or bottom half with your shears to get the item. Another way to get large ferns is to use bone meal on a regular fern. This will cause it to grow into a large fern, which you can then collect with your shears.
How to use Large Fern in Minecraft
The main use for a large fern is for decoration. Since it is two blocks tall, it is great for filling in space and adding a lush, overgrown feel to your builds. You can place it on dirt or grass blocks to create a dense undergrowth in a custom forest or to add some taller plants to your garden. They are perfect for landscaping a jungle themed area or for adding plants to a large cave base. You cannot place a large fern in a flower pot because it is too big. Besides decoration, a large fern can be placed in a composter. It has a high chance of adding a layer to the compost, which will eventually turn into bone meal. This makes it a decent source of bone meal if you have a lot of them.
