Trees

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

There are three kinds of trees.

Regular trees

Those trees grow randomly in the world and from saplings. Their trunk usually consist of 4 or 5 tree blocks and many leaves.

Apple trees

Apple trees grow randomly in the world and also grow from regular saplings (but with a much lower chance than regular trees). They are basicly the same as regular trees, but they also carry some apples as well.

Jungle trees

Jungle trees grow from jungle saplings are only found naturally in jungles. They grow much higher than regular trees. The trunk consists of jungle tree blocks and can sometimes be as high as 12 node lengths 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.

Pine Trees

Pine Trees grow only from Pine Saplings in Minetest 0.4.12. In the Minetest-dev (or 0.5.0 or above) there are snowbiomes, where Snow Pines grow. They can grow up to 13 nodes high.

Acacia Trees

Acacia Trees grow at the moment only from Saplings, which you only get in Creative mode or with the commands /give or /giveme. And they are only available in the development version.
