Usage

Growing plants

Using bone meal on a sapling, crops or grass uses up one, whether or not anything grows.

A sapling grows into a tree at once. Where the tree cannot grow, the sapling stays.

Crops grow fully at once.

Saplings and crops grow this way in any light.

On grass, bone meal makes 128 tries at planting around the clicked block. Each try follows a random path of up to 7 steps across the tops of grass blocks, and plants where it ends if that space is empty: tall grass 9 times in 10, otherwise a flower 2 times in 3 or a rose 1 time in 3.

Dyeing

Used on a sheep, bone meal dyes its wool white.
