🌱 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

- Output items are stored internally
- Can be extracted by automation mods / hoppers (depending on modpack setup)

🌍 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

🧩 Requirements

Minecraft: 1.20+
Mod Loader: NeoForge
