Steps to Grow Mangrove Trees in Minecraft
To grow a new mangrove tree you first need to obtain a mangrove propagule.
Find a Mangrove Swamp
The first step you need to complete is finding a Mangrove Swamp which is a warm humid biome filled with water and mud. It most commonly generates near jungles and deserts so it is worth exploring warmer areas of the world. You can easily recognize a Mangrove Swamp thanks to the huge roots of mangrove trees growing out of the water and the large amount of mud blocks covering the biome.
Get a Mangrove Propagule
To get a mangrove propagule approach a mangrove tree and look for the long green saplings hanging from the leaves. Simply break them by hand or with any tool and they will drop onto the ground.
Place the Propagule on Dirt Mud Clay or Moss Blocks
To plant a mangrove propagule in Minecraft you need to place it on a suitable type of block. Unlike most other saplings mangrove propagules can grow on several different surfaces which allows you to plant them both on land and underwater. Blocks that can support mangrove propagules include:
- all variants of dirt except dirt paths
- moss blocks
- mud
- clay
Use Bone Meal or Wait for It to Grow
The final step is simply waiting for your sapling to grow or speeding up the entire process by using bone meal. After a few uses the sapling will instantly grow into a huge tree with a large amount of roots. If you do not have any bone meal with you all you need to do is wait for a while.
