Large Fern block in Minecraft

Present since 1.7.2 or earlier Stack size: 64

Large Fern is a two-block fern from taigas and jungles. Grass and ferns are filler plants that make landscapes look lush. Grass and ferns work the same; the Short Grass page explains them.

It cannot be crafted; it can be found in chests. It can be composted: each one has a 65% chance to add a layer to a Composter.

Large Fern · FAQ

How do you get Large Fern in Minecraft?

Mining the block gives Wheat Seeds, not the block itself. It can be found as loot in Village.

What is Large Fern used for in Minecraft?

It is a decorative filler plant that sometimes gives seeds.

Can you compost Large Fern?

Yes. Each Large Fern put in a Composter has a 65% chance to add a layer (the first layer in an empty Composter always works). After 7 layers the Composter gives Bone Meal.

Can a piston move Large Fern?

No: when a piston pushes it, it breaks and drops as an item.

Does Large Fern burn?

Yes: fire can spread to it and destroy it, and lava nearby can set it alight.
