About this Mod

Welcome to my first ever mod!
This mod was made with one goal in mind: apple saplings! You can now craft apple saplings by combining an apple and an oak sapling. The tree that grows will spawn with some flowering leaves. These leaves will grow over time. When they are mature, right-click to harvest the apple, which will reset the growth. The "regular" leaves will not grow apples, but unlike the flowering leaves they will drop apple saplings.
In addition, the trees grow with applewood logs! You can use these to craft all your favorite blocks:
- Stripped Applewood Logs
- Applewood Wood & Stripped Applewood Wood
- Applewood Planks
- Signs & Hanging Signs
- Buttons & Pressure Plates
- Fences & Fence Gates
- Doors & Trapdoors
- Boats & Chest boats
The mod also natively includes compatibility with AbsolemJackdaw's mod Apple Crates!
If you spot any issues, or have any requests, please report them on the issue tracker. Thank you for checking out my mod!
