Saplings+

by datgamerpancake

Saplings+ makes dropped tree saplings replant themselves on suitable soil, so forests regrow without player effort.

FabricServer-side onlyAll rights reserved1.21.11

What it does

Once a sapling item comes to rest on dirt or grass, it may plant itself on that spot after a short roll. The mod tracks only sapling items and leaves other vanilla mechanics untouched, so the effect stays limited to the saplings it targets. Vanilla tree saplings are supported, while azalea and mangrove are excluded.

The mod runs entirely on the server and keeps its footprint small. Players do not need to install it, and single-player and multiplayer worlds both work with it. It relies on mixins and configs rather than intrusive changes, so its impact on performance stays low. The code is not open source; the mod is published under All rights reserved for 1.21.11 with the 1.0.0 Fabric file, dated 2025-12-24.

Key features

  1. Automatic replanting

    Dropped tree saplings plant themselves on valid soil after landing, with a chance-based roll.

  2. Natural forest regrowth

    Forests slowly regrow over time without the player replanting by hand, giving a more natural feel to the world.

  3. Vanilla sapling support

    Standard tree saplings are covered, while azalea and mangrove saplings are left out.

  4. Low-impact approach

    Only sapling items are tracked, so the mod does not change other vanilla behavior.
