Natural generation
Berry bushes commonly generate in all taiga variants (,, and ). In all snowy taiga variants (, and ) each chunk has $16 2⁄3$ chance to generate sweet berry bushes in patches. They also generate in all giant tree taiga variants.

Post-generation
Sweet berries can be collected from a sweet berry bush by or  it, which yield 1–2 sweet berries in its third growth stage, and 2–3 sweet berries in its final growth stage.

Placement
Placing sweet berries on a grass block, dirt, podzol, coarse dirt, or farmland creates a small sweet berry bush that eventually becomes a fully grown sweet berry bush.

Growth
A sweet berry bush grows through four stages after it is planted. Its first growth stage is a small bush without any berries. It becomes a grown plant in its second stage, and produces berries in its third and fourth growth stage. The bush doesn't need any light to grow. Using bone meal on it increases its growth stage by 1. The bush can be placed on a 1 block high space, but it cannot grow with a full, non-transparent block above it.

Food
Sweet berries can be eaten as food items, filling  hunger points.

Composting
Placing sweet berries into a composter has a 30% chance of raising the compost level by 1.

Breeding
Sweet berries can be fed to foxes to breed them. Note that foxes are similar to cats when being fed as a wild animal; if you make any sudden movements (at least what the game qualifies as sudden movements), there is a chance that the fox will be scared away even if you are holding sweet berry(s). The baby fox trusts the player and does not flee.

Trading
Master-level butcher villagers offer to buy 10 sweet berries for an emerald.

Entity movement
Sweet berry bushes past stage 1 slow down entities (except items) and damage mobs (though foxes are not affected either way). They deal damage every 0.5 seconds to the player or other mobs. Note that $33 1⁄3$, entities may not take damage, due to. Entities that move through sweet berry bushes slow down to about 34.05% of their normal speed (similar to a cobweb, which slows down mobs to 15% of normal speed). This makes it impossible to jump a full block while inside the bush.

Mobs at standard block height in a minecart are not damaged when the minecart is pushed through sweet berries. Players in a sweet berry bush take no damage except from horizontal movement, but are unable to jump out of the bush, similar to a cobweb.

Bees
Bees pollinate sweet berry bushes, and then increase the honey level in beehives and bee nests by 1.
