An acacia is a tree with gray bark and orange wood found in the savanna biome. Acacias are around 8 blocks tall and feature distinct diagonal trunks and often multiple canopies.

The way acacias form is distinct. Acacia branches do not grow the same way as on other multi-branch trees (dark oak and giant jungle trees). Some acacias have many straight logs and a curve at the top, some at the bottom, and some curve from bottom to top. Typically, the canopy consists of just two layers of leaves, sometimes three. Acacia trees have high variability and can take many forms, such as:

• The common acacia has a diagonal trunk and a single canopy.
• The multi-canopy acacia has a trunk which forks around the middle of the plant. Each end ends in a canopy.
• Another form of multi-canopy acacia exists where a straight trunk is topped with a small canopy, out of which grows an additional trunk ending in a second, higher canopy. These trees often grow taller than the common acacia.

Acacias spawn naturally only in the savanna biome and its variants, the savanna plateau and windswept savanna.

An acacia requires a 3×3 column of unobstructed space at least 6 blocks above the sapling (7 blocks including the sapling itself). Additionally, the tree requires 5×5 layers without obstruction for the top 3 layers of its final height. No horizontal clearance is needed at the base of the tree (a sapling planted in a hole 1 block deep can still grow).

Depending on where the tree generates, the color of the leaves may differ. For example, if an acacia is in a colder biome, such as a taiga or mountains biome, it has a blue-green hue.

Leaves are checked individually for biome coloration rather than as part of a larger tree; as such, trees that were grown between biomes usually have multiple shades on each side.

Issues relating to "Acacia" are maintained on the bug tracker. Issues should be reported and viewed there.

• In real life, Acacia is a genus of trees.
• The acacia sapling's color is different from the fully grown tree, as acacia bark is gray while the sapling's bark is brownish orange like the interior of the grown tree's log.^[2]
• It is the only plant-like feature to be found on the surface of which two blocks (acacia logs in this case) predominantly connect via an edge in the air. Coral blocks are the only other feature for which two blocks may connect via an edge only, with water in between, but they are much more rare according to the coral block distribution graph.
