Description
About
Automatically replant dropped saplings and nether fungi before they despawn.
Auto-Plant Saplings is a lightweight, vanilla-friendly add-on for Minecraft Bedrock survival gameplay. When supported saplings or fungi are dropped on suitable ground and stop moving, they automatically plant themselves after a short delay.
It is built for tree farms, forest cleanup, and long survival sessions where dropped saplings should return to the ground instead of disappearing.
Features
- Automatically plants dropped vanilla tree saplings after they settle on valid ground
- Supports oak, spruce, birch, jungle, acacia, dark oak, cherry, pale oak, azalea, flowering azalea, and mangrove propagules
- Handles item stacks one sapling at a time instead of consuming the whole stack at once
- Supports mangrove propagules on mud, clay, and shallow water placement
- Optional crimson and warped fungus planting for Nether-style farms
- Adds grass placement sounds and green growth particles when planting succeeds
- New DDUI operator settings menu for enable/disable, planting delay, particles, sounds, and Nether fungi support
- Scans active player dimensions on an interval to stay lightweight for survival worlds
How to use
Import the .mcaddon file and activate the Auto-Plant Saplings Behavior Pack on your world. No experiments or Beta APIs are required.
Drop supported saplings on valid planting blocks such as dirt, grass, moss, clay, mud, podzol, or farmland. Once the item stops moving and the delay passes, one sapling plants itself. If the dropped item is a stack, the stack is reduced by one and the remaining items stay on the ground.
Operators can run /ap or /autoplant to open the settings panel:
- Enable/disable the add-on globally.
- Change the planting delay from 5 to 60 seconds (default: 20 seconds).
- Toggle sound effects and particle effects.
- Toggle Nether fungi support.
Settings apply to the entire world, save automatically, and remain after restarting. Existing world settings are preserved when updating.
Notes
The add-on checks settled items every 5 seconds and waits at least the configured delay before planting. It only plants items after they stop moving, so saplings falling, sliding, or floating in water will wait until they settle. It does not add custom blocks, items, textures, models, or recipes.
Requirements
- Minecraft Bedrock Edition 1.26.50 or newer
- No experiments or Beta APIs required
- No additional behavior pack dependency required
