Nostalgic Trees


What It Does

Nostalgic Trees introduces unique resource trees, each producing a different item from dirt and stone to diamond and netherite. Players progress through tiers of trees by:

  1. Crafting basic saplings from vanilla materials
  2. Mutating higher-tier saplings by applying honeycombs and waiting for bees to pollinate them
  3. Catalyzing mutations with rare resources (gold, diamond, netherite) as part of the recipe
  4. Processing grown logs with mallets to extract resource chunks
  5. Crafting (e.g. 4 iron chunks + 4 iron apples + 1 iron bee comb = 4 iron ingots)


All recipes are visible in JEI. Saplings display their mutation progress via Jade tooltips.


Other Supported Trees

- Mekanism: Osmium, Bronze, Steel, Refined Obsidian, Refined Glowstone, Tin, Lead, Uranium 
- AE2: Sky Stone, Certus Quartz, Fluix Crystal
- Refined Storage: Quartz Enriched Iron, Quartz Enriched Copper

Open to requests to support more mods by default


Core Mechanics

Mutations

  1. Plant the base sapling on dirt or grass
  2. Right-click with each required honeycomb
  3. If the recipe has a catalyst, right-click with the catalyst item
  4. Place a nearby Advanced Beehive with bees
  5. Bees will pollinate the sapling until it transforms into the result

Mutation progress is shown in the Jade tooltip when looking at the sapling.

Advanced Beehive

  • Holds up to 5 bees
  • Outputs mod-specific honeycombs when bees return from resource trees
  • 9 output slots for collected honey bottles and honeycombs
  • Slots for bottles and shears to auto-collect when honey is full

Mallets (Log → Chunk Processing)

To process a resource tree, break the logs with a mallet in hand. This will give you the stripped log. Which can be turned into resource chunks.

Drying Rack

Place a drying rack and right-click with a valid input to begin drying.

Drying recipes are visible in JEI.


Creating Custom Trees

Tool to make help make custom trees: https://nostalgic.am/treeconfig/

Drop a new JSON file into config/nostalgictrees/trees/ like:

{
  "name": "slime",
  "tier": "tier_2",
  "output_item": "minecraft:slime_ball",
  "output_count": 1,
  "color": "5EF765"
}

Name the file {treename}.json. All textures, blockstates, models, recipes, loot tables, and tags generate automatically.
Note: Mutations recipes have to be created via datapacks or kubejs
