Bonemeal luck
by Xcen
Bonemeal luck changes how bonemeal works on saplings, so trees grow faster when the item is applied on the server.
What it does
Vanilla bonemeal advances a sapling to its next growth stage only 45% of the time. With Bonemeal luck installed, the chance is multiplied by a configurable multiplier, which defaults to 5x, making bonemeal fully effective on each application. A single application then moves a sapling forward, and the multiplier can be set to a higher value for faster growth, from 5 to 100 times the vanilla rate.
The mod runs on the server alone, so players join without installing it. It works in singleplayer, multiplayer and on dedicated servers, and it also affects bonemeal used by dispensers, so a simple redstone clock feeding a dispenser full of bonemeal can grow trees automatically. The mod is published for Fabric and for Paper, and the Fabric build targets the 26.2 game version.
Key features
Adjustable multiplier
The chance that bonemeal advances a sapling is multiplied by a value set in the config, with 5x as the default.
Full effect per application
At the default setting each bonemeal use moves a sapling to its next stage, instead of succeeding less than half the time.
Dispenser support
Bonemeal dispensed onto saplings is affected too, so automated tree farms grow without manual use.
Single-application growth
One bonemeal use is enough to advance a sapling, so the mod removes repeated applications needed in vanilla.
Compatibility
Latest build for each game version and loader.
Only full game releases are shown. This mod publishes no snapshot builds.
Use cases
Faster tree farms
Players who wait for saplings to grow in survival worlds can shorten the wait with a higher multiplier.
Automated dispenser farms
A redstone clock feeding a dispenser full of bonemeal can grow trees on its own with the mod installed.
Who it’s for: Server owners who want faster tree growth for their players, and players who need to grow saplings quickly in survival worlds or on a server that runs the mod.
