Berries are a food item that are collected from berry bushes. Berry bushes are a plant used to grow berries.
Obtaining[]

Natural generation[]
Berry bushes commonly generate in Plains, Sunflower Plains, Forest, Flower Forest, Birch Forest and Tall Birch Forest biomes.
Planting[]
Placing berries on a grass block, dirt, podzol, coarse dirt or farmland creates a small sweet berry bush that eventually becomes a fully grown berry bush.
Usage[]
Growth[]
A 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 needs the sun to be up to grow. Using bone meal on it increases its growth stage by 1. Although the bush can be placed on a 1 block high space, it cannot grow without an open air block above it.
