The large fern is the 2-block tall variant of the fern.

Obtaining

Breaking

When broken normally, a large fern has a 12.5% chance of dropping 1 wheat seeds item. This is affected by the Fortune enchantment, dropping 1–3, 1–5, or 1–7 wheat seeds with Fortune I, II, and III respectively.

When broken using shears, a large fern drops two ferns instead.

Placing any block on a large fern breaks the fern and causes it to not drop any wheat seeds.

Natural generation

Large ferns occur naturally only in taiga, snowy taiga, and old growth taiga biomes.

Large ferns can additionally be found around some taiga and snowy taiga‌ village houses.

Post-generation

Bone meal can be used on a fern to grow it into a large fern.

Usage

Most 2-block tall plants, including large ferns, have a disproportionately large hitbox compared to other plants.[1] The only exception to this rule is tall seagrass.[2]

Composting

Placing a large fern into a composter has a 65% chance of raising the compost level by 1.
