🌱 Plant Box – Automated Tree & Crop Processing
Plant Box is a technology-style block that automatically grows plants and processes saplings into their harvested resources — fully compatible with vanilla and modded saplings.
No hardcoding. No special support required.
If a sapling exists, Plant Box can handle it.
🔧 Features
📦 Container-based block
Acts like a real container (chest-like behavior) with input and output slots
🌳 Generic Sapling Support
Works with all saplings, including those from other mods, without configuration
🌿 Tree Simulation System
Instead of placing trees in the world, Plant Box simulates tree growth and generates:
-
-
Logs
-
Leaves
-
Saplings (chance-based)
⚙️ Tool & Soil Integration
Insert tools to increase efficiency
Different soils can affect output and bonuses
📊 Growth Progress GUI
Visual progress bar
Percentage-based growth indicator
🔄 Automation Ready
🌍 Mod Compatibility Philosophy
Minecraft does not expose tree structures or growth features in a public API.
To remain 100% compatible with hundreds of mods, Plant Box uses a generic, loot-based simulation approach:
- No world generation hooks
- No feature injection
- No sapling-specific logic
This guarantees:
- Maximum mod compatibility
- No world corruption
- Stable behavior across versions
⚠️ Notes & Limitations
-
Tree output is simulated, not generated in the world
-
Tree shapes and sizes are approximated for maximum compatibility
-
Exact tree structures may differ from vanilla world generation
