Where Can Potted Birch Saplings Be Found?

Potted Birch Saplings do not generate 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 Birch Sapling. Birch Saplings can be obtained by breaking birch tree leaves, which have a chance to drop saplings upon decay or when broken manually. Birch trees are commonly found in Forest and Birch Forest biomes. Flower Pots are crafted using three Bricks, which are made by smelting Clay Balls in a Furnace.
