This Minecraft tutorial explains how to craft a dead bush with screenshots and step-by-step instructions.

In Minecraft, a dead bush is an item that you can not make with a crafting table or furnace. Instead, you need to find and gather this item in the game.

Let’s explore how to add a dead bush to your inventory.

Platform is the platform that applies.

How to get a Dead Bush in Survival Mode

You can add a dead bush to your inventory in Survival mode by trimming a dead bush with a pair of shears. So, let’s get started!

First, you need to find a dead bush in your Minecraft world. Dead bushes are usually found in the Desert or Mesa biomes.

2. Hold your Shears

Next, place your shears in your hand by selecting them in your hotbar.

3. Use the Shears

The game control to use the shears to clip the dead bush depends on the version of Minecraft:

For Java Edition (PC/Mac), left click and hold on the dead bush.
For Pocket Edition (PE), you tap and hold on the dead bush.
For Xbox 360 and Xbox One, press and hold the RT button on the Xbox controller.
For PS3 and PS4, press and hold the R2 button on the PS controller.
For Wii U, press and hold the ZR button on the gamepad.
For Nintendo Switch, press and hold the ZR button on the controller.
For Windows 10 Edition, left click and hold on the dead bush.
For Education Edition, left click and hold on the dead bush.

You will need to continue to clip with the shears until the dead bush breaks and a smaller dead bush floats on the ground.

4. Pick up the Dead Bush

Make sure you pick up the dead bush before it disappears.

Once you pick up the dead bush, it will appear in your hotbar.

A dead bush is a decoration item and should be kept in your inventory to be used later.
