Tea Trees

The foundation of the mod is the Tea Tree, a unique plant that generates naturally in the world. Unlike standard Minecraft trees, tea trees function more like large bushes.

Natural Generation

Tea trees can be found spawning in temperate biomes, including: * Forests * Birch Forests * Dark Forests * Mountains/Hills

Growth and Harvesting

Tea trees consist of a trunk and leaf blocks. They have a multi-stage growth cycle:

1. Sapling Stage: Planted on grass or dirt. Can be bone-mealed to accelerate growth
2. Mature Stage: The tree reaches its full height (usually 2 blocks tall)
3. Harvesting: Players can right-click the leaves of a mature tea tree to harvest Tea Leaves. This will revert the leaves to a 'harvested' state, and they will slowly regrow over time
4. Pruning: Using Shears on the wood/trunk of the tea tree will yield Tea Sticks, which are used in specific recipes and can also be used as fuel
