Overview
Jungle Sapling is one of the 9 variants of this shape in the game. What changes between them is the material, and with it the hardness, the drops, the durability and the recipe — so every figure on this page is this variant's own. Oak Sapling is the same shape in a different material.
In Minecraft 1.21.4, Jungle Sapling is a plant block. It has no crafting recipe — you collect it by mining it where it generates. A hardness of 0 means it is one of the quicker blocks to clear.
No specific tool is required to collect it. Broken correctly, it drops itself. Because it is transparent it does not block light.
A blast resistance of 0 means a single creeper will clear it away. It stacks to 64. Nothing on the crafting grid is made from it.
About the jungle set
How long it takes to break
Hardness 0 puts Jungle Sapling at 0 seconds a block bare-handed, or 0 seconds with the right tool at netherite tier.
The drop does not depend on the tool — bare hands work as well as anything — so the table below is purely about speed.
Each Efficiency level adds level² + 1 to the tool's speed; against a block this soft, instant mining arrives after only a level or two.
| Tool | No enchantment | Efficiency III | Efficiency V |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hand | instant | instant | instant |
| Wooden | instant | instant | instant |
| Stone | instant | instant | instant |
| Iron | instant | instant | instant |
| Diamond | instant | instant | instant |
| Netherite | instant | instant | instant |
| Golden | instant | instant | instant |
Properties
With 0 blast resistance Jungle Sapling goes down to any nearby explosion. It is transparent to light and produces no light. One inventory slot holds 64, the normal full stack. It is renewable, so a single world can supply an unlimited amount of it. Fire takes to it quickly — encouragement 60, burn 100 — which makes it a poor neighbour for lava or a lit campfire. The fastest tool for it is an axe; any other kind of tool mines it no faster than a bare hand does, because the speed bonus only applies to the tool class the block is tagged for. As furnace fuel it burns for 5 seconds — half of what a single smelting operation needs.
