How to Get a Christmas Tree in Infinite Craft
Embarking on a festive adventure in the vast world of Infinite Craft? Nothing says "Christmas" like having your own, perfect Christmas tree. Getting your hands on one in this game isn't as simple as walking into a digital Christmas shop, but with a few tips and some creative crafting, you can be the envy of the server with your marvelous, pixelated pine.
Before we dive into the crafting processes, let's talk about the methods to acquire the necessary resources. In Infinite Craft, trees are not merely objects; they're part of the server's ecosystem. So, chopping down realistically grown trees can yield the best results. Here's how you can get started:
Gathering Resources: The Trees
Infinite Craft features a variety of tree types, each with unique pixel colors and drops. For the most authentic Christmas look, we'll focus on the pine tree. Pine trees are green and typically found in colder biomes like snow and hills.
Once you've located a pine tree, approach it carefully. Unlike some games, trees in Infinite Craft have a health bar. You'll need an axe to chop it down. If you're not equipped with one, find or craft a wooden axe. Hitting the tree with an axe will deal damage, and once its health bar depletes, the tree will fall. Ensure you're standing near the tree when it starts to wobble, or you might miss your hard-earned windfall.
Crafting an Axe
To craft an axe, you'll need 2 Wood Planks and 1 Cobblestone. If you haven't already, you can create Wood Planks by surrounding a Wood Block with Crafting Table borders. Cobblestone is easily obtainable by mining Stone Blocks with any pickaxe.
To craft these elements into an axe, use the Crafting Table. Position the Wood Planks across the top row and the Cobblestone in the central square. Your new axe will appear in the output slot, ready to help you fell trees.
Sapling and Bonemeal: The Secret to Pine Trees
Now that you've got your axe, it's time to chop down that tree. As you're chipping away at the trunk's health, you'll notice that pine trees drop Pine Saplings and Pine Leaves. Keep these safe; they're crucial for growing new pine trees.
A neat trick used by seasoned Infinite Craft players is Bonemeal. Applying Bonemeal to a Sapling can cause it to grow instantly, saving you the time spent waiting for it to mature naturally. Bonemeal can be crafted using 3 Blaze Powder and 1 Bone. If you're struggling to find a Skeleton for bones, try exploring abandoned houses or fighting Skeletons in the wilderness.
Crafting the Perfect Pine: From Sapling to Tree
With your new-found Pine Saplings and Bonemeal, it's time to craft your perfect Christmas tree. Plant your Saplings in suitable soil - remember, pine trees thrive in snow -, and apply Bonemeal to each. Instantly, your little saplings will grow into fully-fledged pine trees, ready for decorating.
But perhaps you're aiming for a more colossal Christmas centerpiece. For that, you'll need a few more tricks up your sleeve. Meet the massive Redwood and Dark Oak trees, which, upon discovery, will awe even the most skilled Infinite Craft decorator:
Growing Large Trees
To grow colossal trees, you'll need to find or craft a Potion of Growth. This potion is brewed using a student's level of 11 or higher and requires 1 Nether Wart, 1 Water Bottle, and 1 Sugar. Once your potion is crafted, apply it to your sapling. The resulting tree will tower over other structures, providing an impressive base for your holiday masterpiece.
Another method to create vast trees involves planting them in villages. Trees planted in the center of a village border can grow up to 14 blocks tall, making them perfect for creating spectacular Christmas displays.
Decorating Your Tree
Finally, the moment we've all been waiting for: decorating your tree. Craft Christmas Ornaments using 1 Whetstone and 1 Wool (available in white, red, and orange), and string them together with 4 String. Hang them on your tree, and don't forget the star on top. A crafted Snowball thrown at the right height can create a perfect, snow-capped finish.
Your Christmas tree is now ready to become the crown jewel of your Infinite Craft holiday display. Be proud of your accomplishment, and remember - you earned every pixel.
