Bountiful Trees
Ore trees — grow trees whose logs drop raw ore materials instead of (or in addition to) wood. The primary renewable source of energized iron and other ores.
Tree Types & Log Drops
| Tree | Log drops | Amount per log |
|---|---|---|
| coal tree | coal | 2–6 |
| copper tree | raw_copper | 2–6 |
| gold tree | raw_gold | 1–3 |
| energized iron tree | raw_energized_iron | 1–2 |
| emerald tree | emerald | 1 |
| iron tree | raw_iron (see loot table) | varies |
| redstone tree | redstone (see loot table) | varies |
All logs also drop 1 oak_log alongside their ore drop.
Getting Saplings
Crafting (vanilla crafting table, shaped) — wrap an oak sapling with 8 of the matching material:
Crafting
Coal Sapling
Iron Sapling
Gold Sapling
Copper Sapling
Diamond Sapling
Emerald Sapling
Lapis Sapling
Redstone Sapling
Quartz Sapling
Netherite Sapling
Energized Iron Sapling
Steel Sapling
Leaf drops — breaking the colored leaves of a mature ore tree has a ~5% chance to drop the corresponding sapling. Good for expanding your orchard without spending more materials.
Growing Trees
- Obtain the appropriate ore sapling
- Right-click on appropriate soil to plant
- Tree grows on random tick — 20% chance per tick
- Or apply bone meal — 20% chance per bone meal (instant growth if it triggers)
Mature tree structure: 2–4 block trunk, 5×5 canopy base, 3×3 middle layer, cross-shaped top layer
Harvesting: Chop logs with an axe. Drops apply to log blocks only, not leaves.
Key Use Case
The energized iron tree is the only renewable source of raw_energized_iron without a powered Infuser. It's the early-game path to advanced_chip and mid-game machines.
Notes
- Saplings are the progression gate — find or trade for your first sapling of each type
- Once you have one mature tree, you can farm saplings from its leaves to expand your orchard
- Bone meal farming is efficient: keep a stack handy and apply until the tree grows
