To grow a Pale Oak sapling in Minecraft, follow these steps:
- Obtain at least 4 Pale Oak Saplings : You can get these by chopping down Pale Oak trees found in the Pale Garden biome with an axe, then using a hoe to break the leaves and collect the saplings. Alternatively, you can trade with the Wandering Trader to get saplings
- Prepare the planting area : Use any hoe to till a 2x2 patch of dirt or grass blocks. This means you need four adjacent squares arranged in a square shape
- Plant the saplings : Place one Pale Oak sapling on each of the four tilled blocks in the 2x2 arrangement. Pale Oak trees only grow if the saplings are planted together in this 2x2 grid, not individually
- Use bone meal to accelerate growth : Apply bone meal to the planted saplings to speed up their growth into a full Pale Oak tree. Bone meal is made by composting bones, which you can get from skeletons or treasure chests. Right-click the saplings with bone meal to help them grow faster
- Harvest and repeat : Once the Pale Oak tree grows, you can chop it down to collect wood and more saplings, allowing you to continue planting and growing more trees
Additional tips:
- Be cautious when collecting Pale Oak saplings in the Pale Garden biome at night, as the trees can summon hostile Creaking mobs
- Bone meal use is key to improving growth speed and yield
This method applies specifically to Minecraft's Pale Oak trees and saplings. If you are asking about growing real oak saplings, the process involves planting a single sapling in well-drained soil with adequate sunlight, watering, and spacing, but for Minecraft Pale Oak, the 2x2 sapling arrangement and bone meal use are essential
