Where Can Potted Bamboo Be Found?

Potted Bamboo does not occur naturally and must be crafted by players. To create one, place a Flower Pot on a solid block and then right-click it with a Bamboo item. Bamboo can be found in jungle biomes, particularly in bamboo jungles, and can also be obtained from fishing in jungle biomes or found in certain chests within shipwrecks and jungle temples. Flower Pots are crafted using three Bricks, which are made by smelting Clay Balls in a Furnace.
