![]() You should now see your sapling appear on the ground. For Education Edition, right click on the block.For Windows 10 Edition, right click on the block.For Nintendo Switch, press the ZL button on the controller.For Wii U, press the ZL button on the gamepad.For PS3 and PS4, press the L2 button on the PS controller.For Xbox 360 and Xbox One, press the LT button on the Xbox controller.For Pocket Edition (PE), you tap on the block.For Java Edition (PC/Mac), right click on the block.The game control to plant the tree depends on the version of Minecraft: You should see the block become highlighted in your game window. Next, position your pointer (the plus sign) on the block where you want to plant the tree. Once you have a sapling to plant, add it to your hotbar and make it the selected item in your hotbar. Watch our video to see how! Steps to Grow a Tree 1. After that I add many more leaves on top, in whichever shape I need, which usually depends on what type of tree I’m making or whether I’m going to put a statue on top of the tree.TIP: You can choose any type of sapling to grow a tree, but you must plant 4 saplings if you wish to grow a dark oak tree. I also cover the bottom of the branches, where they meet the trunk, with more leaves to make everything look more rounded. This will make the tree look quite good, though it’s rarely enough to make a good enough tree.Īfter the 2 layers, I begin to connect the branches in a circular shape, but not in a perfect circle of course, no real life tree grows its foliage in a perfect circle. I begin by covering all the branches with a single layer of leaves, which then get a second layer on top of it. Leaves are placed in the same way as I place them on small versions. I might change a few blocks if they’re annoying me too much, but as long as the tree looks somewhat like a real tree, I’ll be satisfied enough. I repeat this 4 times, after which I’m pretty much done with the overall structure. I finish the branch by adding a (curved) line of logs, which is meant to mimic thin ends of real branches. Some parts will be longer than 2×2 and other parts might be shorter, whatever makes the branches look realistic. I create the branches by pretty much stacking 2×2 squares of logs on the each others corners and sides. Adding more will often make it look messy and it’s difficult to keep logs separated, without making the branches look weird. I often create only 4 branches, one on each corner of the 2×2 top. But if you create the branches first, increasing the height of the tree will become significantly more difficult. I always create the roots before I create the branch structures, as the roots can sometimes make the tree look shorter, which can easily be fixed by adding a few blocks on top. I then make the trunks thicker near the tree and I might replace some of the ground blocks with wood blocks, to mimic roots going underground.Īfter the first root is done, I repeat the same process as many times as needed to cover the whole of the base of the tree. I start creatings roots by first laying out the overall shape and length of 1 root, in a long, curved shapes. I then check the overall structure and either add or take blocks away to make it all look better (and satisfy my OCD), after which I’ll proceed to the roots of the tree.Īlmost all large trees will look better with roots, the only exceptions are trees which barely have any visible roots in real life, like pine trees. I then start to add more layers (if required), while slowly increasing the thickness as I reach the bottom. This acts as a great base from which we can work. ![]() ![]() Oaks will usually have thicker trunks, especially at the bottom, while pine trees will always be quite thin.īut no matter the type of tree, I tend to always start with a 2×2 thick trunk and make it any height I want. However, due to the size of the tree, the trunk may need to vary in width, depending on the type of tree. In this guide I will only go through the steps I take to create a larger and huge tree, if you’re looking for ways to recreate a specific tree type, please refer to the guide on smaller trees and apply those same tactics on a larger scale, which is pretty much all there is to building larger trees.Īs with smaller trees, I first start out with creating the trunk. However, their size can also be a disadvantage, as they could easily overshadow smaller buildings next to it. They also allow us to add a lot more details and recreate more specific tree species. Larger versions of trees can look quite amazing and could add great elements to any building project.
