Plant Box is a technology-style block that automatically grows plants and processes saplings into their harvested resources — fully compatible with vanilla and modded saplings.
No hardcoding. No special support required.
If a sapling exists, Plant Box can handle it.
📦 Container-based block
Acts like a real container (chest-like behavior) with input and output slots
🌳 Generic Sapling Support
Works with all saplings, including those from other mods, without configuration
🌿 Tree Simulation System
Instead of placing trees in the world, Plant Box simulates tree growth and generates:
Logs
Leaves
Saplings (chance-based)
⚙️ Tool & Soil Integration
Insert tools to increase efficiency
Different soils can affect output and bonuses
📊 Growth Progress GUI
Visual progress bar
Percentage-based growth indicator
🔄 Automation Ready
Output items are stored internally
Can be extracted by automation mods / hoppers (depending on modpack setup)
Minecraft does not expose tree structures or growth features in a public API.
To remain 100% compatible with hundreds of mods, Plant Box uses a generic, loot-based simulation approach:
This guarantees:
Tree output is simulated, not generated in the world
Tree shapes and sizes are approximated for maximum compatibility
Exact tree structures may differ from vanilla world generation
Minecraft: 1.20+
Mod Loader: NeoForge
Feel free to use in modpacks
No special permissions required
