A large fern is the 2-block tall variant of the fern.

Obtaining

[edit | edit source]

Breaking

[edit | edit source]

When broken normally, a large fern has a 12.5% chance of dropping 1 wheat seeds item. This is affected by the Fortune enchantment, dropping 1–3, 1–5, or 1–7 wheat seeds with Fortune I, II, and III respectively.

When broken using shears, a large fern drops two ferns instead.

Placing any block on a large fern breaks the fern and causes it to not drop any wheat seeds.

Natural generation

[edit | edit source]

Large ferns occur naturally only in taiga, snowy taiga, and old growth taiga biomes.

Large ferns can additionally be found around some taiga and snowy taigaβ€Œ[BE only] village houses.

Post-generation

[edit | edit source]

Bone meal can be used on a fern to grow it into a large fern.

Usage

[edit | edit source]

Most 2-block tall plants, including large ferns, have a disproportionately large hitbox compared to other plants.[1] The only exception to this rule is tall seagrass.[2]

Composting

[edit | edit source]

Placing a large fern into a composter has a 65% chance of raising the compost level by 1.

Color

[edit | edit source]

The coloration of large ferns is dependent on the biome they are in. A grass block always uses the color set to its location, regardless of how it was placed or of its source. This affects the side and top of the block.

In Java Edition, large fern items use biome color with temperature 0.5, downfall 1.0, and as a result is colored
 #7cbd6b
. In Bedrock Edition, this color is coded in the item's texture.
