Dynamic Trees Plus Wiki & Guide

Find a mushroom or cactus in the world and break it — dynamic versions grow from seeds and spread like trees. Plant a Pillar Cactus Seed or Pipe Cactus Seed on sand to start a cactus tree, or let a dynamic mushroom spread naturally on dirt.

Plant a Pillar Cactus Seed or Pipe Cactus Seed on sand and let it grow over time. The cactus will build itself into a branching tree structure rather than a single column.

Let a dynamic cactus tree mature, then look for Saguaro Fruit growing on its arms. Break or harvest the fruit when it appears — it regrows over time on the same cactus.

Grow a dynamic mushroom from a mushroom item placed on suitable ground, then break the cap blocks once the mushroom matures. Red Mushroom Cap and Brown Mushroom Cap are the harvestable parts.

Cactus seeds need to be planted on sand and require light and space to expand. If the area is blocked or the ground isn't sand, growth stalls — clear room around the seed.

Dynamic mushrooms need a suitable dark, moist surface like dirt or mycelium and room to expand. Too much light or a cramped space stops them from growing into a full mushroom.

Cacti grow on sand, while mushrooms prefer dirt, mycelium, or similar organic ground. Using the wrong block prevents growth entirely.

Saguaro Fruit regrows on mature dynamic cactus trees, so you can harvest repeatedly from the same plant. Automation depends on your setup — a simple manual harvest loop works fine.

It's built as an addon for Dynamic Trees, so it works alongside the base mod and other DT addons. Conflicts are rare, but overlapping tree generation in the same biome can cause visual oddities.

Dynamic tree growth is more computationally involved than vanilla trees, so large farms or dense mushroom patches can cost some tick time. Keeping farms reasonably sized avoids noticeable lag.
