Simple Apple Trees Data Pack FAQ

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.

Apple Trees spawn as their own distinct trees during world generation, so they appear alongside regular trees rather than replacing them.

Simple Apple Trees is generally compatible with most mods and data packs, but conflicts can occur if multiple packs modify tree generation or apple mechanics—test in a copy of your world first if combining with other content.

Apple Trees spawn naturally across the Minecraft world in biomes where trees typically grow, though generation rates may vary by biome type.

This data pack focuses on naturally spawning Apple Trees; check the mod documentation for whether you can manually plant or cultivate them from saplings.

Tool enchantments may affect drop rates when chopping trees—experiment with different tools to see which gives the best results for your farming strategy.

Apple Trees are standard Minecraft trees and shouldn't cause lag, but like any vegetation-heavy world, performance depends on your render distance and total chunk load.
