Sapplings don't grow like vanilla trees

The sapplings need a tremendous amount of empty space surrounding it and can't be replanted when cut down in a dense forest. You also can't place multiple sapplings together to make a large tree like vanilla.

Hey, thanks for the ticket!

I've noticed this one myself as well - the 5x5 box saplings require is pretty ridiculous, I agree, especially since that box must be free of blocks like torches and tall grass.

I plan on looking into this one, but as the tree generation stuff isn't exactly documented, I can't guarantee it'll be a quick fix.

As for 2x2 saplings for larger trees, it's not something we've really looked into yet. I'll have a chat with my partner about it.

Having investigated this further, it seems that it's just because the trees are huge.

We use some of vanilla's tree generation logic for our trees - the trunk and foliage are generated using Minecraft's own Large Oak placers, with some different values provided.

I suspect that the issue here is really just that the trees are huge. That said, I could make saplings grow under the foliage and logs that were part of other trees, even if those trees were not Sakura trees.

From what I'm reading of the code, the way the saplings behave is consistent with vanilla. It's unfortunate that it's not intuitive, although I'm not really sure what we can do about it.

I'll leave this issue open, in case someone comes along with an idea.

maybe make saplings smaller unless there are 4 saplings

That doesn't really solve anything, it just means people would need more saplings to make the trees we have already
