Trees

Language:	English • Deutsch

Trees appear naturally in the world and from different kinds of saplings. Unlike other plants, saplings grow, at some point in time, instantly into a full-size tree.

There are various species of trees. This page lists the trees currently found in Minetest Game 0.4.15.

Tree species guide

Regular tree

Regular tree is a very common tree species which occours especially in temperate climates and grows from saplings (75% chance). Its trunk usually consists of 4 or 5 tree blocks and some leaves.

The trunk of regular trees are slightly differently shaped depending on the map generator being used. In v6, it grows straight upwards, while in the other map generators, the trunk may branch.

Apple tree

The apple tree is very similar to the regular tree. It also grows randomly in the world and also grows from saplings (25% chance). They are identical to regular trees in shape, trunk and leaves, but they also carry a few apples as well.

Jungle tree

Jungle trees grow from jungle saplings and are only found naturally in jungles. The trunk consists of jungle tree blocks amd jungle leaves and usually has 9-13 jungle tree blocks in height. On a flat floor, up to additional 8 jungle tree blocks can appear around the trunk. This makes jungle trees excellent for farming a lot of tree trunk blocks.

The jungle trees in v6 are very differently shaped than in the other map generators. V6 jungle trees don't branch out and have a wider leaf spread. Jungle trees in the other map generators have branches, but fewer leaves in total.

Pine tree

Pine trees appear naturally in taiga biomes. Pine trees may be covered in snow. In the map generator v6, this is always the case. They can grow up to 13 nodes high. They are made of pine tree blocks and pine needles. Pine saplings grow into pine trees. which will be again be covered in snow if the sapling was next to dirt with snow, snow or snow block.

Although the difference is subtle, pine trees are shaped a bit differently in v6 than in the other map generators. In v6, pine trees are generally higher and have wider leaves.

Acacia tree

Acacia trees grow in savannah biomes and grow from acacia saplings. Acacia trees do not natually appear in the v6 map generator.

They are made of 12-13 acacia tree blocks and about 75 acacia leaves. Acacia trees consist of a main vertical trunk which is 4 or 5 acacia tree block tall, and 4 branches of 2 acacia tree blocks each.

Acacia tree

Aspen tree

Aspen trees grow in deciduous forests and grow from aspen saplings. Aspen trees do not naturally appear in the v6 map generator. They are made of aspen tree blocks and aspen leaves.
