Bamboo

Bamboo is a transparent block that is eaten and dropped by pandas.

Pandas
Pandas will drop 1–2 bamboo when killed.

Fishing
Bamboo can be found while fishing in jungle biomes.

Usage
When mined, any other bamboo block placed above it will also get destroyed. A bamboo block will also be removed and drop itself as an item, if a piston tries to push it or moves a block into its space.

Farming
Bamboo can be placed and will grow on grass, dirt, sand, podzol, coarse dirt or red sand. When bone meal is on it, it will grow one block taller. Bamboo can grow to a maximum of 12–16 blocks tall.

Pandas
Bamboo items are eaten by pandas and can be used to speed up the growth of baby pandas.

Fuel
Bamboo can be used as fuel in furnaces and will smelt 0.25 items.

Appearance


The appearance of bamboo changes as it grows. When first placed, it takes the form of a small shoot. When it grows one block taller it grows to 3 pixels in length and width and the top block has leaves coming off it. At 3 blocks the top 2 blocks have leaves and at 4 blocks the bamboo expands to 3×3 pixels. At 5 blocks tall the top 3 blocks will have leaves on them and as the bamboo grows the leaves will move up and stay at the top 3 blocks. Destroying a block of bamboo will not change the appearance of the blocks below it. Bamboo is oriented at a random position in the block that it is in.
