Acacia

The acacia tree is found in the savanna biome. Acacia trees are around 8 blocks tall and feature distinct diagonal trunks, and may occasionally have multiple canopies.

Variants
The way the tree forms is distinct. Acacia tree branches do not grow the same way as on other multi-branch trees (dark oak and giant jungle trees). Some acacia trees have many straight logs and a curve at the top, some at the bottom, and some curve from bottom to top. Typically, the canopy consists of just two layers of leaves, sometimes three. Three types of acacia can be found in the game:


 * The common acacia tree, which has a diagonal trunk and a single canopy.
 * The multi-canopy acacia, where the trunk forks around the middle of the plant and each end ends in a canopy.
 * Another form of multi-canopy acacia tree, where a straight trunk is topped with a small canopy, out of which grows additional trunk ending in a second, higher canopy. These trees often grow taller than the common acacia tree.

Generation
Acacia trees spawn naturally only in the biome.

Blocks and items
These items can be obtained from all variants of acacia:
 * (harvested with shears)
 * (harvested with any tool including hands)
 * (created from a log in the inventory crafting grid)
 * ($1/20$ chance of dropping when leaves decay or are broken)
 * (created by an axe on a log)
 * (chance of dropping when breaking leaves)

Planting
Acacia saplings can be planted on:

An acacia tree requires a 3×3 column of unobstructed space at least 6 blocks above the sapling (7 blocks including the sapling itself). Additionally, the tree requires 5×5 layers without obstruction for the top 3 layers of its final height. No horizontal clearance is needed at the base of the tree (a sapling planted in a hole 1 block deep can still grow).

Acacia trees can be grown on farmland, but will turn it into dirt when they do so.

Foliage colors


Depending on where the tree generates, the color of the leaves may differ. For example, if an acacia tree is in a colder biome, such as a taiga or mountains biome, it has a blue-green hue.

Leaves are checked individually for biome coloration rather than as part of a larger tree; as such, trees that were grown between biomes usually have multiple shades on each side.

Trivia

 * In real life, Acacia is a genus of tree.
 * The acacia sapling's color is different from the fully grown tree, as acacia bark is gray while the sapling's bark is brownish orange like the interior of the grown tree’s log.
