Complicated Trees¶

Complicated Trees

Breed trees with your bees. Bees in a working Complicated Bees housing pollinate the leaves of nearby trees; take the offspring with the Grafter, plant it, and new kinds turn up. Oak and birch can give Silver Birch, and Silver Birch and oak can give cherry.

It adds no new wood blocks: it breeds the trees you already have, and a datapack can add species and crosses for any mod's trees.

Requires Complicated Bees.

How it works¶

Hold an oak, birch or cherry sapling in your other hand and use the Arborist's Analyzer. The sapling becomes Genetic planting stock; plant it like any sapling.
Keep a working bee housing near the canopy. When the bees pollinate the leaves, green sparkles show on them.
Use the Grafter on pollinated leaves to take the offspring as a sapling. Breaking the leaves the normal way gives it too, at a lower chance.

Parents	Offspring	Chance
Oak + birch	Silver Birch	15%
Oak + Silver Birch	cherry	8%
