Like all dyes, bone meal can be applied directly to sheep to color them white. This is the only direct use of bone meal as a dye since it cannot be used to change colored wool blocks back into white wool at a crafting table. It can also be combined with other dyes to produce new colors:

When using Bone Meal as fertilizer, there is a chance of failure for saplings and mushrooms. In that case, the procedure must be repeated until it eventually works. Bone Meal does not work on [[Cactus|cacti]], [[sugar cane]], [[vines]] or [[Nether Wart]]. Before version 1.5, one or two Bone Meal were sufficient to achieve full growth. After the update, as many as ten may be needed, and Bone Meal can now grow a plant to intermediate stages.

Like all dyes, bone meal can be applied directly to sheep to color them white, and can be used to dye [[Wool Knit|Wool Knit Armor]] or [[Leather Armor]]. It can also be combined with other dyes to produce new colors:
* '''[[Melon Seeds|Melon]] and [[Pumpkin Seeds]]:''' When applied to the planted stem, the stem will grow to a later stage of development, and enough Bone Meal can grow a stem to full size. Bone Meal only affects the stem itself; Melons and Pumpkins sprout from adult stems at a fixed rate which cannot be modified.
 
* '''[[Sapling]]s:''' When applied, the Bone Meal is consumed and the sapling may grow instantly into a tree, provided it has enough space, light, and luck. Multiple uses of Bone Meal are necessary to achieve this.
 
* '''[[Grass Block]]s:''' When applied to a grass block, the Bone Meal is consumed and [[tall grass]], and usually a few [[flowers]], form in a random pattern in a 10x10 area centered on the northwest corner of the grass block (the corner with the lowest X and Z values). This can be an effective method of gathering wheat seeds. Does not work on dirt.
 
* '''[[Mushrooms]]:''' When applied to a mushroom that is planted on dirt, it will eventually grow to full size after enough uses. The sudden growth may cause you to take damage if you occupy the space it needs to grow. While the damage itself is minimal, this can pose a danger if [[Huge Mushrooms]] are grown near cliffs or with low health.
 
* '''[[Cocoa]]s:''' When applied to planted cocoa plants, the bone meal is consumed and the cocoa plant grows instantly, ready to be harvested for [[Cocoa Beans]].

Bone Meal fertilizes any [[Farmland]] or dirt filled planter it is applied to, passively accelerating plant growth, which proceeds through all of its natural stages. The fertilization persists until the plant is fully grown. Bone Meal cannot affect trees or cacti. If Bone Meal in item form is dropped on the tilled soil or planter it gets applied to it, allowing for automated fertilizing.

When bonemeal is applied to hydrated farmland, wheat growth is accelerated. It also appears to be more uniform than vanilla growth, and also less dependent on whether surrounding blocks are also growing wheat or not. The image below shows two rows of wheat planted at the same time and under symmetrical conditions. The front row's soil received bonemeal treatment before planting. You can observe that at the intermediate growth stage shown, average front row growth is more advanced. Furthermore, the growth appears more uniform in comparison to the control row.

* Using bone meal over [[grass block]]s immediately gives you the [[grass|tall grass]], [[rose]]s and [[dandelion]]s. It is faster than having to go search for more.
+
When the wheat becomes fully grown, the farmland or planter beneath it becomes unfertilized.
* When bone meal is used on a grass block, each new plant has a 90% chance of becoming tall grass. Each plant that is not tall grass has a 1 in 3 chance of becoming a rose, or a 2 in 3 chance of becoming a dandelion.
 
* One [[bone]] can be crafted to 3 bone meal, which means on a successful drop, you can get 3 or 6 units of bone meal from a single [[skeleton]].
 
* There is a crafting recipe that uses [[wool|white wool]] and bone meal. It is useless, however, because it outputs white wool, thus wasting bone meal.
 
* Tall grass planted with bone meal in an area already populated with [[grass block]]s can force grass to appear up to 6 blocks away from where you originally used it. The chance of any plant growing on the block decreases with distance from the block which bone meal was used on, the chance becoming very small at 6 blocks distance.
 
* Bone meal can be used on the sides of a grass block, as well as on a grass block with plants already on top of it.

Fertilizer

Bone Meal fertilizes any Farmland or dirt filled planter it is applied to, passively accelerating plant growth, which proceeds through all of its natural stages. The fertilization persists until the plant is fully grown. Bone Meal cannot affect trees or cacti. If Bone Meal in item form is dropped on the tilled soil or planter it gets applied to it, allowing for automated fertilizing.

Wheat

When bonemeal is applied to hydrated farmland, wheat growth is accelerated. It also appears to be more uniform than vanilla growth, and also less dependent on whether surrounding blocks are also growing wheat or not. The image below shows two rows of wheat planted at the same time and under symmetrical conditions. The front row's soil received bonemeal treatment before planting. You can observe that at the intermediate growth stage shown, average front row growth is more advanced. Furthermore, the growth appears more uniform in comparison to the control row.

"Wheat in intermediate stages of growth. Front row has received bonemeal. Both rows were planted at the same time.

When the wheat becomes fully grown, the farmland or planter beneath it becomes unfertilized.

Hemp

When Bone Meal is applied to hydrated farmland, hemp growth is accelerated. However, this will only apply for the first 8 stages of growth i.e. one block high fully matured, at this point the dirt block will become unfertilized and growth will continue at a normal pace.

Pumpkin and Melon

When bonemeal is applied to hydrated farmland, melon and pumpkin growth is accelerated. However, this will only apply for the first 8 stages of growth. When the melon, pumpkin plant itself is mature the pumpkin and melon blocks spawn in a normal rate, applying bonemeal on the plant causes the melon and pumpkin blocks to spawn quicker, but the bonemeal gets used up.
