Uses

  • Make white wool by combining one wool block (even ones from grey or black sheep) with a unit of bone meal.
  • Makes the process of tree or crop farming nearly instantaneous - a right-click makes the plant ready for harvesting.
Although the fertilized target may not grow properly, one bone meal is still consumed per attempt. Bone meal does NOT work on cacti or sugar cane.
  • When employed with artificial molds, bone meal makes the creation of unnaturally shaped trees possible.

Trivia

  • When you create a tree from a sapling with bone meal, the leaves may suffocate you if they grow into your space.
  • Bone meal forces the tree to grow regardless of the current light level.
