Sapling Recipes

Crafting recipes for resource saplings are automatically generated for all registered resource type + tree type combinations. You can override individual recipes if needed.

Default Recipe Pattern

The auto-generated sapling recipe uses a + (cross) pattern:

 M 
MSM
 M

• M = The resource type's material item (or any item matching its tag)
• S = The original vanilla sapling for the tree type

This produces 1 resource sapling.

Overriding a Recipe

To provide a custom crafting recipe for a specific sapling, place a shaped recipe JSON at:

data/resourcestrees/recipe/saplings/<sapling_name>.json

For example, to customize diamond_oak_sapling:

data/resourcestrees/recipe/saplings/diamond_oak_sapling.json

Example JSON

{
  "type": "minecraft:crafting_shaped",
  "pattern": [
    "DDD",
    "DSD",
    "DDD"
  ],
  "key": {
    "D": {
      "item": "minecraft:diamond"
    },
    "S": {
      "item": "minecraft:oak_sapling"
    }
  },
  "result": {
    "id": "resourcestrees:diamond_oak_sapling",
    "count": 1
  }
}

Use standard Minecraft shaped recipe JSON format. The recipe must follow the usual minecraft:crafting_shaped or minecraft:crafting_shapeless type.
