How to make a Bush in Minecraft

This Minecraft tutorial explains how to craft a Bush with screenshots and step-by-step instructions.

In Minecraft, a Bush is an item that was added in the Spring to Life Update (Java Edition 1.21.5 and Bedrock Edition 1.21.82). You can not make a Bush with a crafting table or furnace. Instead, you need to find and gather this item in the game.
