Whats the most efficient way to acquire Minecraft Dark Oak Saplings?
Posted On: June 5, 2023

I need several stacks of dark oak saplings.


By efficient, I'm interested in minimizing game time. I have tons of resources, so throw any resources you can think of at the answer if it will help.


I have a dark oak farm, but I get about 5 saplings / tree. Since you need 4 to grow a tree, that doesn't help much. I have not found any AFK or semi-automated harvesting mechanisms, but those are on the table. Aside from going into roofed forests, and clearing it out, is there any other way to acquire this at a faster rate?


Fortune enchantments appear to be unhelpful.


Obvious ways to speed things up are:.


Efficiency V tools.


Potions of Swiftness / Beacons of haste.


But those only help a bit. Preferred solutions are AFK. But anything that I can use to reduce my time at the keyboard would be good.


Thoughts?

Answer:

Honestly, dark oaks require time to farm, and there's not really that much you can do to speed up the process. But you CAN do is:.


Come prepared with all necessary axes.


Plant as many trees as you can at a time.


Aqueducts of water gathering into a single place surrounding little islands of the trees could speed up sapling gathering. Also enables you to be afk while the remainder of saplings fall, without worrying about them despawning while you're afk (make sure to have hopper at end of water). The islands would be 2x2, with a single block on the side to jump to if the tree has grown.


I'm not a tree expert, but I know there are ways you can modify the height at which trees will grow. Try to make adjacent trees grow at different levels, to optimize the amount of leaves spawned.


Yes, diamond efficiency V would help. :).


If you're interested in AFKing it, don't worry to destroy the leaves manually. .


At night you need torches to grow saplings. Put 1 (minimum) on the jump-to block to maximize efficency.


These are pretty much all the ways I can possibly think of, and am 95% there's not much else you can do. Do all of this, and you should increase your efficiency by at least 2%! :P.


You can, of course, just find a big dark oak forest and start chopping to your heart's content ("acquire Dark Oak Saplings") but I infer that you mean farming. But if you don't mind a big plain where there used to be forest, this is quite efficient (especially when you come fully prepared, especially with torches).


You can also use bone meal to remove the need to AFK the saplings' growth, but you'd still have to AFK the sapling drops from the leaves.
