This Minecraft tutorial explains how to limit the height of a tree with screenshots and step-by-step instructions.
In Minecraft, you can limit how tall the tree grows from a sapling. Let's explore how to do this.
SubscribeRequired Materials to Limit the Height a Tree
In Minecraft, these are the materials you can use to limit the height of a tree:
Steps to Limit the Height of a Tree
1. Place an Obstruction to set the Tree Height
Place blocks above where the tree will grow to create an obstruction. This obstruction sets the maximum height for the tree. In this example, we have placed birch planks as our obstruction, but you can use any type of block.
2. Plant the Sapling
Below the birch planks, plant a sapling for the type of tree you wish to grow. The game control to plant the sapling depends on the version of Minecraft:
- For Java Edition (PC/Mac), right click on the block.
- For Pocket Edition (PE), you tap on the block.
- For Xbox 360 and Xbox One, press the LT button on the Xbox controller.
- For PS3 and PS4, press the L2 button on the PS controller.
- For Wii U, press the ZL button on the gamepad.
- For Nintendo Switch, press the ZL button on the controller.
- For Windows 10 Edition, right click on the block.
- For Education Edition, right click on the block.
In this example, we have planted a birch sapling.
3. Fertilize the Sapling
Fertilize the sapling with bone meal. It is important to note that it will take more bone meal than usual to fertilize the tree because the game must find a tree configuration that fits under the obstruction. The game control to use the bone meal depends on the version of Minecraft:
- For Java Edition (PC/Mac), right click on the sapling.
- For Pocket Edition (PE), you tap on the sapling.
- For Xbox 360 and Xbox One, press the LT button on the Xbox controller.
- For PS3 and PS4, press the L2 button on the PS controller.
- For Wii U, press the ZL button on the gamepad.
- For Nintendo Switch, press the ZL button on the controller.
- For Windows 10 Edition, right click on the sapling.
- For Education Edition, right click on the sapling.
Keep using bone meal until the full-grown tree appears. Once the tree appears, notice that the top of the tree has 1 air block between it and the obstruction.
Congratulations, you just learned how to limit the height of a tree in Minecraft.
