Sweet Berry Bush

A sweet berry bush is a block which is used to obtain sweet berries.

Natural generation
Berry bushes will commonly generate in all taiga variants (,, and ) and are rarely found in all snowy taiga variants (,  and ).

Planting
Placing sweet berries on a grass block, dirt, podzol, coarse dirt or farmland will create a sweet berry sapling which after some time will become a fully grown sweet berry bush.

Growth
A sweet berry bush will grow through four stages after it is planted. Its first growth stage is a small sapling without any berries. It becomes a grown plant in its second stage, and will grow berries in its third and fourth growth stage. Using bone meal on it will increase its growth stage by 1.

Drops
Sweet berry bushes can be used to collect sweet berries. A single bush will drop 1-2 berries at its third stage of growth and 2-3 when fully grown. Harvesting is done by the bush, and will set it back to its second stage. Breaking it with a tool enchanted with Fortune will increase its drop maximum by 1 per level.

Damage
Sweet berry bushes can deal damage every 0.5 seconds to the player or other mobs that move or jump inside them, similar to a cactus, as long as the bush has grown past their first growth stage.

Movement
Mobs that move through sweet berry bushes will slow down, similar to a cobweb. This makes it impossible to jump a full block while inside the bush.

Also like Cobwebs, fall damage is negated by falling into these, as it is through Cobwebs (and falling into Water, or only-onto Slime Blocks). However, there is a tick of vertical damage for movement through the Sweet Berry Bush.
