How to Find Bamboo in Minecraft
Bamboo is a tall green plant that only grows in the Jungle and the Bamboo Jungle biome. They grow fast, are easy to farm and harvest, and can be used as food for pandas.
Previously, besides crafting, fueling, and decoration purposes, bamboo doesn’t have any other primary usages. But in the newest snapshot, Mojang introduced a new type of wood made from bamboo. Exciting!
To find the correct biome for bamboo, you have to travel a thousand blocks or even more if you’re unlucky. Since jungle biomes are considered rare in Minecraft.
When you’ve found the right place, you should see some tall and thin plants in the sky. Come closer and break it with any tool you have (or even a bare hand will do the work).
Each block of bamboo will drop 1 bamboo item. So try to collect as much bamboo as you can before moving to the next step. For the Minecraft raft, you will need exactly 20 bamboos.
