Bamboo

Bamboo is a plant that can be found in jungles but generates much more densely in the bamboo variant of jungles. They are a renewable resource that is the fastest growing plant in Minecraft and can be used for a variety of things.



How to get Bamboo?


Bamboo can be obtained by breaking a bamboo tree with any tool, but a sword will break the block instantly. They are naturally generated in jungle biomes so the best place to find them would be there. However, there are other ways to get Bamboo, firstly through mob loot or chest loot from generated structures such as shipwrecks. Fishing is another way to get bamboo as they are part of the ‘Junk’ pool of items.



What are the uses of Bamboo?


When a bamboo tree is broken it will drop bamboo as an item that can be picked up by players. Bamboo can be used as fuel for smelting or cooking, breeding pandas, and crafting scaffolding or sticks.


Farming


Bamboo can be planted on moss blocks, grass blocks, dirt, coarse dirt, rooted dirt, mycelium, podzol, sand, red sand, and even mud. On default tick speed the plant will grow every 4096 in-game ticks, but their growth can be accelerated with the help of bone meal. Bamboos can grow up to 12-16 blocks tall and they require a light level of 9 or above to grow.



Breeding Pandas


Bamboo items are eaten by pandas and they can be used to even accelerate the growth of baby pandas. Bamboo can also be used to breed pandas when at least 8 blocks of bamboo are within 5 blocks of the pandas, this makes the pandas the only mob in the game with additional breeding requirements.



Conclusion


Bamboos are a versatile item that can be used for lots of uses, they are great substitutes for sticks. They are essential if you wish to breed pandas. The addition of scaffolding to the game gives bamboo an additional use for the construction of structures and can even be used for vertical mobility.
