Tree/Grower
by Vermetra
Tree/Grower lets a player plant many saplings at once and have trees grow across a chosen area, shaped by configurable noise patterns.
What it does
Trees appear in bulk without changing the game's random tick speed, so growth finishes in seconds rather than by waiting on the normal schedule. The mod grows trees in a set number of chunks around the player, and when left at its default it attempts growth across a square block of chunks, five on each side, centered on the player. Growth processes can be stopped when no longer needed.
Procedural noise controls where trees land. Supported noise types include uniform, simplex, Perlin and Voronoi, and the approximate number of trees per chunk can be tuned. Weighted selection mixes up to three sapling types in one forest, producing natural, custom forests. The mod runs on the server, and only the server needs it; the client may add it as well. Tree/Grower is for Forge 1.20.1 and is released under All rights reserved, so it is not open source.
Key features
Noise-driven tree placement
Trees are distributed by procedural noise, with uniform, simplex, Perlin and Voronoi patterns available.
Mixed sapling forests
Weighted selection uses up to three sapling types, so a single area can hold several tree species.
Chunk-based growth
Trees grow in a configurable number of chunks around the player, from 1 to 24, with a 5×5 area as the default target.
Stoppable growth processes
Running growth jobs can be cancelled, letting the player halt planting before it finishes.

Use cases
Building natural forests
Players who want forests shaped to their own layout can plant saplings across a specified area and control the density and mix of species.
Terraforming a new world
A player starting a world can fill nearby chunks with trees in seconds instead of waiting for natural spread.
Who it’s for: Players who want to plant and grow forests quickly, and server owners who want fast tree generation on a Forge 1.20.1 server.
How it compares
Fast Growth is server-side only and is open source under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only, targeting 1.20.1 on Forge. Sapling Now Craftable is a client and server mod under the MIT License and is also Forge 1.20.1, but it makes saplings craftable rather than planting them in bulk. Nature Is Alive runs on the server alone and is All rights reserved, so it is not open source.
