Simple Apple Trees Data Pack Wiki & Guide

Apple Trees will generate in newly explored chunks, but existing terrain won't retroactively gain them. If you want Apple Trees throughout your current world, you'll need to explore new areas or use world generation tools to refresh chunks.

Chopping down an Apple Tree with an axe destroys the tree and drops a large quantity of apples from the logs and leaves. Using shears on Fruiting Apple Tree Leaves collects the leaves as blocks without destroying the tree, letting it regrow apples over time.

The mod uses a natural growth cycle for fruiting leaves to regenerate; the exact timing depends on random tick speed and game conditions, but you'll see leaves fruit again after some time passes.

Yes—use shears to harvest Fruiting Apple Tree Leaves repeatedly from the same tree as they regrow, creating a renewable food source without replanting.
