Acacia

The acacia tree is found in the savanna biome. Acacia trees are around 8 blocks tall and feature unique diagonal trunks, and may occasionally have multiple canopies. The closest real world tree to acacia is large leaf acacia.

Variants
The way the tree forms is unique. 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 multiple canopy acacia tree, which has a straight trunk and a lower canopy, then the trunk grows out of the smaller canopy and has a second higher canopy. These trees often 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)

Breeding
Acacia saplings can be planted on:

An acacia tree requires a 3×3 column of unobstructed space at least 7 blocks above the sapling (8 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 saplings do not grow on farmland.

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.
