Overview
Birch Sapling is a block in the Utility Blocks category of Minecraft, obtained through leaf drops and natural world generation. A single inventory slot holds a full stack of 64 Birch Sapling. It can double as furnace fuel, smelting about 0.5 items before being consumed. This item was added to the game in the early Alpha development period.
In this database, Birch Sapling sits alongside 339 other Utility Blocks entries, each with its own page. Because it stacks to 64, a single chest of Birch Sapling stores up to 1,728 of them and a double chest holds 3,456, which matters when gathering enough for large builds. It also works as furnace fuel, burning long enough to smelt about 0.5 items (100 ticks) when you have a surplus to spare.
