How to Use

Place one of the rnd_trees blocks. The tree will start growing immediately.

Blocks are:
  • rnd_trees:tree - customizable growth pattern/materials
  • rnd_trees:aspentree - roughtly equivalent to the default aspen tree
  • rnd_trees:pinetree - approximate size/shape of default pine tree. The growth algorithm is best suited to deciduous tres, so it doesn’t resemble the default version very well
  • rnd_trees:jungletree - closely resembles the default jungle tree; can be as tall as an emergent jungle tree
  • rnd_trees:appletree - a larger and more realistic apple tree
  • rnd_trees:acaciatree - roughtly equivalent to the default acacia tree. Again, the growth algorithm does not work as well for this one

Chat Commands

  • /trunkmat - the trunks of all future trees grown from rnd_trees:tree will be made of the currently wielded block
  • /leafmat - the leaves of all future trees grown from rnd_trees:tree will be made of the currently wielded block
  • /treespec 〈height〉 〈trunk height〉 〈branch length〉 - all future trees grown from rnd_trees:tree will have an overall height of blocks, branches starting above blocks and branches up to blocks long. Any of these values may be made negative to randomize the value near the given value; e.g. `/treespec -30 5 10` will cause future trees to be a random height near 30 blocks.
