About Bone Meal

Bone Meal is a multipurpose item that works as both a fertilizer and a white dye. When you use it on crops, saplings, grass blocks, flowers, or mushrooms, it speeds up growth or spreads plants. It also works anywhere white dye is accepted, so you can use it to colour wool, beds, glass, and other dyeable blocks.

Key facts:

Applies a growth tick to most plants when used.
Creates grass and flowers on grass blocks.
Counts as white dye in crafting and dyeing.

How to get Bone Meal

You can get Bone Meal by crafting it from bones or bone blocks. A single bone gives three bone meal, and a bone block gives nine. Bones are a common drop from skeletons and strays. You can also collect bone meal from a composter once enough plant material has broken down inside it.
