Bamboo is a resource block similar to Sugar Cane. It is the sole material for crafting Bamboo Planks (Bamboo Blocks), Bamboo Slabs, and Bamboo Mugs, and serve as an alternative material for crafting Bamboo Stairs. Bamboo can grow up to seven blocks high , but sometimes eight (kind of like sugar cane). Bamboo can be fashioned into the handles and base of tools, similarly to sticks. It can also be crafted by itself to create Bamboo Mugs and Spears.
