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

In Minecraft, a fern 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 fern to your inventory.

Where to find a Fern in Creative Mode

Minecraft Java Edition (PC/Mac)

Here is where you can find a fern in the Creative Inventory menu:

Java Edition (PC/Mac)	1.19.3 – 1.19.4	Natural Blocks

Platform is the platform that applies.

Version(s) is the Minecraft version numbers where the item can be found in the menu location listed (we have tested and confirmed this version number).

Creative Menu Location is the location of the item in the Creative Inventory menu.

How to get a Fern in Survival Mode

You can add a fern to your inventory in Survival mode by finding a fern and cutting it with a pair of shears. So, let’s get started!

1. Find a Fern

First, you need to find a fern in your Minecraft world. Ferns are usually found in the Taiga, Old Growth Pine Taiga or Jungle biomes.

2. Hold the Shears

Next, select your shears in the hotbar so that you are holding them in your hand.

3. Use the Shears

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

For Java Edition (PC/Mac), left click and hold on the fern.
For Pocket Edition (PE), you tap and hold on the fern.
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 fern.
For Education Edition, left click and hold on the fern.

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

4. Pick up the Fern

Make sure you pick up the fern before it disappears.

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

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