Sapling Now Craftable
by Vilno
Sapling Now Craftable lets players craft saplings and mushrooms straight from leaves and mushroom blocks, without waiting for random drops.
What it does
Saplings normally come from chance drops while leaves decay, and mushrooms grow only where the right conditions appear. This Forge mod adds a way to produce the matching sapling or mushroom on demand. A player collects leaves or a mushroom block of the wanted type, places a crafting table laid out as the recipe shows, and receives the corresponding sapling or mushroom. Rare varieties become accessible, which saves time when building and landscaping.
The mod covers the common tree and mushroom types, including brown and red mushrooms from their giant mushroom blocks, and the Nether crimson and warped fungi. It is published for Forge 1.20.1 and runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. Sapling Now Craftable is released under the MIT License and is not open source; the author publishes an issue tracker for reports.
Key features
Crafting from leaves
Leaf blocks of a chosen type can be turned into the matching sapling through a crafting recipe.
Mushrooms from mushroom blocks
Brown and red mushrooms can be produced from their giant mushroom blocks, skipping random growth.
Nether fungi
Crimson and warped fungi can be made on demand, which gives access to Nether saplings without searching for them.
Resource balance on servers
Server owners in modpacks where resource balance matters can decide how quickly players gain rare saplings and mushrooms.
