Insta Grow
by 256 Arts
Insta Grow lets players instantly grow saplings into trees by crouching and using bonemeal, even where vanilla terrain rules would block growth.
What it does
Saplings grow into trees on the first bonemeal use, and the mod ignores the vanilla air and space requirements that normally stop a tree from forming. Trees can therefore grow in tight spaces without any terrain changes. Two ways to trigger growth are included, so players can pick the method that suits them. Insta Grow runs on the server, so players on a server running it need nothing extra, and clients may optionally add it. Files exist for Fabric and NeoForge across 13 release versions, 1.21.4 – 26.3, released under the CC0 1.0 Universal license and open source.
Key features
Growth without vanilla requirements
Saplings grow into trees even where vanilla would refuse, since the usual air and terrain checks are skipped.
Crouch to place saplings
Saplings can be placed while crouching, which keeps them from being planted in the wrong spot by accident.
Instant bonemeal growth
A single bonemeal application grows the sapling into a full tree on the first try.

What the author says
A simple mod to instantly grow saplings into trees in 2 ways: - Place a sapling while crouching or - Use bonemeal on a sapling (the tree will grow on the first try) This mod also ignores vanilla trees' air requirements above saplings, so you don't need to modify the terrain to grow trees in tight spaces.
