How to Configure and Grow Dense Trees from Saplings

Enabling Sapling Conversion

By default, dense trees spawn naturally in the world, but you can set regular saplings to grow into dense trees for easy farming near your base.

1. Locate the configuration file for Dense Trees in your game's config directory.

2. Open the file in any text editor and find the enableSaplingToDenseTree option. Enable this setting so saplings have the ability to transform into dense variants upon maturing.

3. Locate the saplingToDenseTreeChance setting. Adjust this value between 0% and 100% to set the exact probability of a planted sapling becoming a dense tree.

4. Save your changes and launch or reload the world.

Growing Dense Trees at Your Base

Plant any standard tree saplings on dirt or grass blocks in an open area. Allow them to grow naturally over time or apply bone meal to accelerate their growth. When a sapling grows, it has a chance—determined by your configured percentage—to generate as a dense tree with particle-emitting logs that yield extra wood.
