Checking if a Sapling Will Grow a Custom Tree Shape

Observing Placement Particles

When planting saplings in custom biomes from Terralith or Blooming Biosphere, you can visually confirm whether the planted sapling will take on a modded tree shape or remain a standard vanilla tree before letting it grow.

1. Hold the vanilla sapling that corresponds to the local custom tree's wood and leaves.

2. Place the sapling on the ground without holding the sneak key.

3. Look closely at the sapling the moment it is placed.

If the placement is valid for custom tree growth, distinct white particle effects will appear around the sapling.

What the Particle Indicator Means

The appearance of white particles indicates that the mod has successfully registered both the sapling type and the custom biome. If you see this effect, the sapling is locked into growing the custom-shaped tree native to that area.

If no white particles appear upon placement, the tree will grow as a standard vanilla tree. This typically happens if you are standing outside of a supported custom biome, using the incorrect sapling type for that biome's trees, or crouching while placing the block.
