Bone meal is a material used in Dye-making. It can be made by placing a bone into a crafting square. It only requires one square, so can be made without the workbench.

Uses

  • Bone meal is used to make white wool by crafting one Wool block with bone meal above it.
  • Bone meal can be used on crops and saplings to fertilize them (although the tree may not grow properly in multiplayer), by right-clicking on them, instantly making them ready for harvest. This makes the process of farming much faster.
  • Bone meal can also be used on grey and black sheep to dye their wool white.

Trivia

  • If you use bone meal and the crop does not grow, the bone meal still is consumed.
  • When you create a tree from a sapling with bone meal, the leaves may suffocate you if they grow into your space.
