Do Plants Need Sun in Minecraft?
Last updated
Ever wondered if plants in Minecraft need some sunshine to grow? Let’s dig into this blocky query, and we’ll break down everything you need to know.
So, do the plants in Minecraft need sun to thrive? The quick answer is: yes and no. It depends on what kind of plant we’re talking about. Now let’s explore what makes Minecraft’s gardening tick.
Plants and Their Need for Light in Minecraft
In Minecraft, plants indeed require light to grow, but it doesn’t always have to come from the sun. Light in Minecraft comes from different sources, and as long as the light level is sufficient, your plants will happily grow. This means you can grow plants indoors or at night using torches, lanterns, or other light sources.
However, it’s worth noting that not all plants in Minecraft have the same light requirements. While crops like wheat, carrots, and potatoes will grow with any light level above 8, some specific plants, like saplings, need a higher light level to progress into trees.
