Custom Tree

experimental

Creating your own tree with decaying leaves are possible. Follow this tutorial and you'll have your own in no time!

What you will do

Features:
- Decaying leaves
- Tree Feature compatible
- If leaves were broken using shears, they will drop the block
- Leaves doesn't decay if placed by player
- Logs are strippable and rotatable
- Stripping logs is compatible with tools from other Add-Ons (if they have the minecraft:is_axe tag)
- Saplings can be bonemealed and grow the tree (with structures)
Issues:
- If you made a structure with these blocks, it will crash the game when generated using features. Minecraft structure ticking block bug.

TIP

To make your leaves decay you need basic understanding on block permutations and block properties.

Making Decaying Leaves

You will notice straight away that our custom leaves have a long list to search for a vanilla log/custom log by its block tag, although the code example uses the custom logs for this tutorial. The value is 4 and this method is used to search for the nearest log in a circular radius.

Our custom leaves disables ticking when placed by the player which doesn't make the leaves decay and this removes the requirements for another duplicate leave block.

Making Loot Tables

Code

This loot will spawn leaves block (when you break it using shears)

			"entries": [
				{
					"type": "item",
					"name": "wiki:custom_leaves",
					"weight": 1

Making/Exporting Structures

Now you need to get custom_stripped_log1 and custom_stripped_log2 structures. Just export rotated stripped logs.

Build some trees too!

Tree Features

TIP

Tree Features are a really great way to get actual custom trees. You need some understanding on how they work but for this tutorial you can uses these templates.
