What Exactly Is Bamboo in Minecraft
As we all know that we can relate the Minecraft game with our real-life experience, so bamboo is exactly the same as what we see in real life. Though it is not as effective and strong as other features but It is used in the furnace for cooking, also used in crafting items.
As pandas eat bamboo, it is very useful for breeding pandas, which are rare mobs in Minecraft. It generally grows naturally in the jungle biome which is very rare to find. Minecraft bamboo grows so fast than any other plant in Minecraft. You should also keep in mind that, in Minecraft, it is not craftable. All you have to do is to find it.
How to Find Bamboo in Minecraft [5 Steps]
Finding bamboo in Minecraft is quite difficult because it produces in the jungle biome which is very rare and difficult to find. Also, bamboo is not craftable. So for finding the bamboo players need to follow some steps or look for some areas in which bamboo is produced. They are –
Step – 1: Natural origin (jungle)
Bamboos can be found in the jungle as they produce naturally in the jungle biome. But finding these jungle biomes is difficult as it is very rare. For this, players can use the biome finder on com or they can use the command which is located biome.
Jungles are normally yielded beside the Taiga biome or near extreme hill biomes and sometimes beside the desert biomes. Though the jungle biome is a rare thing in Minecraft, it is still easy to spot because of its long trees and dangling vines.
Step – 2: Fishing for it
Another way to find or collect bamboo is fishing. Players can do it from the rivers from the jungle biome because the biome has many bamboos.
But for fishing, players need a fishing rod which they have to make from the crafting table. They have to open a crafting table of 3×3 order of crafting grid. While fishing in Minecraft players also can use the enchantment which is called Luck of the Sea enchantment. The reason for using this enchantment (while fishing) is, players can get better loot as well as bamboos.
Players can fish as they wish. Whether they may fish on the boat, outside of the water, or by standing in the water. They can collect the bamboo as a ‘junk item‘ while fishing. The process of fishing from the water is exactly the same as our real life. You just need to throw the fishing line into the water, wait until something is attached to it then pull it back.
Step – 3: From Panda
We all know that pandas eat bamboo and so it is also found in the jungle biomes as it has a huge number of bamboos lying in it. Pandas are the rarest animal in Minecraft and they drop 1-2 pieces of bamboo in the ground while they are killed. Then you can gather all these bamboo from the ground.
In Minecraft, Shipwreck is a kind of ruined sunken ship which spawns naturally and is found in oceans, rivers,s and beach biomes. It contains lots of useful items including bamboo which players can collect and place in the inventory.
Step – 5: From Jungle temples
In Minecraft, jungle temples are structures made of stones such as cobblestone, mossy cobblestone, etc. They are generally produced in the jungle biome. It is also called the Jungle Pyramid.
This jungle temple consists of a chest inside which players can find the bamboo which maybe 1-3 sticks in number.
Uses of Bamboo in Minecraft
In Minecraft, bamboo is used in many ways. These are –
Used as a fuel:
They are used in a furnace for cooking which is a very important thing. They are able to melt 50% of the object if it is a bamboo stick.
Otherwise, it will melt 25% of the object if it is in a natural state. They have a high heating value and produce less smoke which is as efficient as fuel in Minecraft as well as environmentally friendly.
They are the easiest fuels to use because they are the fastest-growing.
Decorative uses:
Bamboo is also used in decoration. Or you can put them in a pot and raise them like a tree in your own garden.
To tame and breed pandas:
As we know that pandas love to eat bamboo, so it helps to grow them faster. For breeding, you should plant 8 units of bamboo which is divided into two units per plant around the pandas.
Bamboo can not be planted in more than 5 blocks because if someone plants more than 5 blocks, the breeding of pandas will not happen. Each panda will reproduce and have a baby only when each of them is given bamboo.
Other uses:
Bamboos are able to break up sand. So they are used to breaking the sand the same way the sword breaks the bamboo.
