Baobab Wood

Baobab Wood was a wood type added in the 1.18: Savannah Update. They are massive 3x3 Trees that generate in two savannah subbiomes: The Thickweed Plains, and, less commonly, the Steppe. They can also generate in a single desert subbiome: The Shrublands. Termite Nests can generate within twenty blocks of any Baobab Tree in all of the three subbiomes where it can generate. Baobabs are one of the rarest wood types in the game.
== Variants & Shape ==
Baobab Trees are always 3x3 Trees, but some can be even larger or taller. The basic ones you will find very often are around 10 Blocks tall, and 3x3, though a few blocks may be added or missing. There are usually more blocks at the bottom as a stump. Several Branches will spread out at the top to create a canopy of Baobab Leaves. Knobs are very rare on the trunk, but common on the leaves.
Other Variants can be shorter or taller versions. There is also 4x4 Baobab Trees and even a very rare 5x5 tree. Fatter Trees will not be cubes, they will be more circular shaped and have bigger domes at the top. Larger Ones will only be found in the Savannah.
Giant Baobab Trees have a chance to generate, but only in the Steppe Subbiome. These Trees can be 20 blocks wide, with several roots, branches that are 5x5 blocks long, and mobs spawning underneath. Often several Termite Nests can generate on these.
Baobabs have lots of leaves in the massive canopy above it. These leaves can have Baobab Moss on it and drop Baobab Saplings. These leaves can occasionally be dead.
== Generation ==
All Types of Baobab Trees can generate in two savannah subbiomes: The Steppe and the Thickweed Plains. The Thickweed Plains is the subbiome with the most Baobab Trees. After that, it is a tie between the Steppe and the desert Shrublands Subbiome. They are the rarest tree in the game as of 1.20, generating the least amount of times not counting Stems.
There is a small, 2% chance that a Baobab Tree will spawn as a Dead Tree, where it has very few dead leaf blocks around it, lots of dead leaves on the ground, and all of the wood and logs are decayed logs.
Giant Baobab Trees can only generate in the Steppe Subbiome.
== Blocks and Items ==
The Following Items can be obtained from Baobab Trees: 
* Termite Nest (Will Spawn Next to the Tree) 
* Baobab Leaf Blocks
* Dead Baobab Leaf Blocks
* Baobab Leaves
* Dead Baobab Leaves
* Baobab Moss
* Baobab Log
* Baobab Planks
* Baobab Sapling
* Stripped Baobab Log
* Vines
* Sticks
* Rooted Dirt (If Termites Destroy the Wood Blocks, also under the Tree)
== Planting ==
Baobab Saplings can be grown on the following blocks:
* Dirt
* Grass
* Coarse Dirt
* Podzol
* Mycelium
* Rooted Dirt
* Farmland
* Moss Block (Bone Meal Only)
A Baobab Tree needs a 7x7 column of unobstructed space to grow, as well as that space being 12 blocks high. It needs the most space out of any tree in the game. Baobab Trees must be planted in a 3x3 square of saplings, but a player can make a 4x4 square or 5x5 to make the tree larger when it is grown.
== History ==
1.18: Savannah Update: Added Baobab Trees. They take longer to be destroyed by Termites and are more blast-resistant than normal wood. They can generate in four savannah subbiomes: The Savannah, Savannah Plateau, Grasslands, and Flatlands.
1.20: A New World:
24w27a: Baobab Trees now generate extremely rarely in the Mesa Wooded Badlands Subbiome.
24w31a: Added Baobab Knobs.
24w31b: Added Baobab Moss and giant Baobab Trees.
24w32a: Waxed Baobab Wood and its variants were removed as the wax became a block state.
24w34 Snapshots:
24w34d: The Flatlands and Grasslands Subbiomes were removed and replaced with the Steppe and the Thickweed Plains, respectively. Baobabs spawning in the Steppe are now even less common than they were before in the flatlands.
24w34e: Baobab Trees can now spawn rarely in the Desert Shrubs Subbiome. Baobab was also given a nerf in this snapshot, making it less blast-resistant and takes a normal amount of time to be eaten by termites, making it equal to other wood types. This makes the Baobabs very susceptible to Termite attacks. This was made to balance Termites after the Meerkat Mob was added. Additionally, Baobabs can no longer spawn in the Wooded Badlands Mesa Subbiome, as they were replaced with Acacia Trees.
