Wasabi's Tree

# Wasabi's Tree

**Living forests for Minecraft 1.20.1.** Trees in Wasabi Trees don't pop into existence. They grow from a sapling one stage at a time, each with its own DNA. Over hours of play they age, eventually topple over, rot away and leave young trees behind. Everything is built from vanilla blocks.

## Features

🌱 **Gradual growth.** Saplings grow stage by stage. The first logs appear after about 12 minutes; big species take hours to reach full size. Bone meal speeds up young trees.

🧬 **Real DNA.**
- Every tree has 11 genes: height, crown width, branching, leaf size, density, growth speed, maturity, trunk thickness, crown shape, lean and style.
- Saplings inherit genes from the nearest mature tree of their kind, so you can breed tall, fast or wide trees.
- One sapling in four mutates and surprises you.
- Wild forests share a regional character.

🌳 **26 species, each in 2–3 styles.**
- All vanilla trees.
- Willow, maple, baobab, redwood, snowy pine, dead tree, apple tree and palm tree.
- New: poplar, olive, cypress and stone pine.
- Giant mushrooms and Nether fungi.

🌲 **Giant trees.** Plant four saplings of the same kind in a 2x2 square to grow a giant with a 2x2 trunk. This works for every species, and giants also appear in the wild.

🍂 **A full life cycle.**
- Old trees eventually topple over.
- Fallen trunks rot away within minutes without leaving holes.
- Mature trees spread moss that turns into new saplings.
- Self-seeded young trees die off in deep shade, so forests thin out naturally.

🪓 **Timber!**
- An axe fells the whole tree, and the drops land at your feet.
- Sneak to break a single block.
- Cut a trunk by hand and the tree falls over.

🗺️ **Natural world generation.** Mixed-age forests with vanilla-like densities, occasional fallen logs, bee nests and boulders.

## Details
- **Config:** Growth speed, falling, decay, spreading, forest density, mutation chance and axe behaviour are all configurable in `config/wasabitrees-common.toml`.
- **Game speed:** Growth and decay follow the `randomTickSpeed` gamerule.
- **Commands:** `/wasabitrees info` for everyone; `grow`, `fell` and `stats` for operators.
- **Performance:** Tree data is stored per chunk and updates are budgeted, so large worlds don't slow down.
- **Compatibility:** Protection and claim mods are respected. Modded biomes keep their own trees.

## Requirements
- Minecraft **1.20.1**, Forge **47.x**
- Must be installed on **both client and server**.
