Crafting Overworld Tree Saplings

Gathering Ingredients

To craft saplings with the mod, you need two basic components: a stick and the leaf block of the tree type you want to grow. In vanilla Minecraft, breaking leaves by hand or letting them decay will destroy the leaf block itself. To collect intact leaf blocks, craft a pair of shears using two iron ingots. Approach any tree canopy—such as oak, birch, spruce, or acacia—and break the leaves with your shears to collect the leaf blocks directly into your inventory.

Assembling the Sapling

Once you have collected the required leaf blocks and sticks, you can craft the saplings immediately:

1. Open your 2x2 player inventory crafting grid or a 3x3 crafting table.

2. Place one stick into any slot of the crafting grid.

3. Place the leaf block corresponding to your desired sapling type into the grid alongside the stick.

4. Take the newly crafted sapling from the output slot.

Because the recipe requires only a stick and the matching leaf type, you can immediately craft any sapling variety without waiting for canopy decay.
