Custom Trees from Saplings Data Pack completely changes how trees grow in your world. Plant a sapling and watch it become a beautiful custom tree, with tons of variants and rotations so no two trees look the same. It’s perfect for players who want their builds to feel more alive without needing mods.
What This Data Pack Does
Every single sapling you plant turns into a custom tree. Use bonemeal to speed things up or just wait for natural growth. It works with single saplings and 2×2 tree plantings. Beehives spawn naturally if flowers are nearby and you’re in a compatible biome, just like vanilla trees.
Key Features
- Multiple custom variants and rotations for each tree type
- Works with bonemeal and natural random tick growth
- Supports 1×1 and 2×2 sapling plantings
- Beehives generate naturally if conditions are right
- Custom trees grow slower than vanilla, so give them time
- Craft 4 logs from 3 wood since these trees use wood blocks
- Fully configurable. Run /function custrees:config to toggle back to vanilla trees anytime
- Sneak while placing a sapling to grow vanilla trees on demand
- Bonemeal at a sapling’s base means it’s been converted
Important Notes
Custom trees get big. They’ll replace blocks in their way, so test this in a creative world first if you’re adding it to survival. If you ever remove this pack, delete all custom saplings first. Leaving them behind causes item_displays to get stuck.
