Talk:Sapling

This page seems faulty. It doesn't seem to differ between the item, and the block. Could someone give it a look? I wouldn't say that it's decoration, other than in creative mode.

Light needed
The article says that a certain amount of light is needed. This is false. I have successfully grown a tree underground with only 1 torch as light. I know this seems strange (I though so as first, because I spent ages digging a tunnel from the sea (took ages to stop water getting in) to another tree so it would get sun light, and that has yet to grow. It has been moved a bit though, so it might be because it was remove from the ground.

I immediately took all the wood because I needed it and forgot to screen cap. I'll try and get an image next time.

Dementis - nothing in the article contradicts any of your observations. Saplings require a light level of 13 to grow. A torch has a light level of 14, and provides an illumination of 13 in the squares directly surrounding it. If directly next to a torch underground, a sapling will grow into a tree. Try reading the article on "trees" for a picture of a tree grown in a cave - there's nothing strange or new about this.
