Dark oak

A dark oak tree is a variant of the oak tree with a thick trunk. They are found in the dark forest biome.
==Structure==
Dark oak trees generate with thick 2×2 trunks. Dirt blocks appear under the trunk if generated on a steep cliff. Dark oak trees nearly always generate with irregular logs connected to the trunk – these represent large branches.
Dark oak trees with trunks consisting of 1×1 dark oak logs, instead of 2×2, can be found in two types of rooms in woodland mansions: the tree chopping room, and the nature room. These are not generated elsewhere in the world, and cannot be grown from saplings.

==Generation ==
Dark oaks spawn naturally only in the biome. A dark oak always generates with dirt under its trunk, even if it spawns partly or wholly over air or water blocks.
== Blocks and items==
These items can be obtained from all variants of dark oak:
* (chance of dropping when breaking leaves)
* (harvested with shears)
* (harvested with any tool including hands)
* (created from a log in the inventory crafting grid)
* (chance of dropping when breaking leaves)
* (created by an axe on a log)
* (harvested with shears from a dying tree)
* (chance of dropping when breaking leaves)
== Planting ==
Dark oak saplings can be planted on:
* 
* 
* 
* 
* 
* 
* 
* 
* 
* 
Growing these trees requires four dark oak saplings arranged in a 2×2 grid; they do not grow if planted individually. Dark oak trees grow at a much faster rate than most other trees. They require a 3×3 column of unobstructed space at least 7 blocks above the sapling to grow (8 blocks including the sapling itself). This column is centered on the northwestern sapling. Additionally, dark oak trees require 5×5 layers without obstruction for the top 3 layers of its final height. No horizontal clearance is needed at the base of the tree (saplings planted in a 2×2 hole 1 block deep still grow).
==Dying dark oak==
, dark oaks can generate as a dying tree. Dying dark oaks generate naturally, and can be grown from normal saplings.https://web.archive.org/web/20190711143349/http://i.imgur.com/hTg0N8J.gifv A dying dark oak has the standard growth pattern of any other tree, however, all exposed logs in the main trunk are covered with vines.

== Trivia==
* Dark oak is called 'big oak' in the 1.12 client.jar.
