Overview
Potted Birch Sapling counts as a plant block in Minecraft 1.21.4. It is available only in Creative mode or through commands. With a hardness of 0 it gives way immediately under almost any tool.
Any tool works, and so do bare hands. What you actually collect is Flower Pot and Birch Sapling. It is transparent, which matters when you are managing light levels.
With a blast resistance of only 0 it will not survive an explosion. Nothing on the crafting grid is made from it.
Properties
With 0 blast resistance Potted Birch Sapling goes down to any nearby explosion. It is transparent to light and produces no light. Fire spreads to it readily (encouragement 60, burn 100), so keep it away from lava and away from anything you would rather not lose. As furnace fuel it burns for 5 seconds — half of what a single smelting operation needs.
