Bonsai Trees

## **Synopsis**

Bonsai Trees is a mod created by Davenonymous. It adds Bonsai Pots that allow for growing trees within two vertical blocks. Grown trees can be harvested from the Bonsai Pots for drops specific to that tree.

It has support for trees from vanilla Minecraft, Forestry (and Extra Trees), Pam's HarvestCraft, IndustrialCraft 2, and Integrated Dynamics. Tree drops and tick growth multipliers can be modified using CraftTweaker.

Saplings, except those which use NBT data, can be made compatible using JSON configuration files. Each tree requires a TreeType definition, which can be either JSON or Java, and a shape definition, which is JSON. Tree shape definitions for TreeTypes implemented in Java can be generated automatically using the generateMissingShapes command, whereas shape definitions for JSON TreeTypes have to be constructed in the world and saved using the saveTreeShape command.

## **Overview**

There are two blocks added by Bonsai Trees: the Bonsai Pot, and the Hopping Bonsai Pot. The only difference between the functionality of the two blocks is, the Hopping Bonsai Pot will automatically harvest its tree and deposit the loot into a container placed below itself. Otherwise, trees grow exactly the same speed (when growing in the same material).

To put your dirt (or other material) into the bonsai pot, right click on an empty bonsai pot with the dirt. Then you can right click on the dirt with a sapling to place the sapling into the pot. When you hover over the sapling in the pot you can see a percentage. When the percentage gets to 100% the tree is grown. Right click on the fully grown tree with any tool that can break wood (axe, paxel, etc). The tree will break and start growing again from scratch. All of its drops will drop to the ground. To remove the sapling from the pot, right click with your tool on a non-mature tree. This can be finicky, but you will have the best luck right clicking the center of the top of the pot. If it is not working, try changing the angle you are facing the bonsai pot from. To change the block that the tree is growing on, you have to break the bonsai pot and replace the different block.

## **Mulch and Slime**
