Upgrades

Hopper

Tree Compatibility

Supported Saplings and Soils are completely configurable via .json files. There are a agglomeration of examples bachelor in the repository for all the vanilla trees. Just to brand this more than straight forward here'southward a quick rundown of what is needed for a tree to be supported:

Step 0, JSON

Know how JSON works. Hither'south a good quick rundown. Particularly don't include whatever of the comments from the examples here in the .json files.

Stride 1, Soil

Create the soil recipe first. You tin skip this if you don't accept custom soil requirements.

              {              "type":              "bonsaitrees3:soil"              ,              // The recipe type. Must be "bonsaitrees3:soil"              "weather condition":              [              {              // Weather are optional              "type":              "forge:mod_loaded"              ,              "modid":              "tconstruct"              }              // The mod required for this soil to get loaded              ]              ,              "tickModifier":              1.0              ,              // The time to grow a tree is multiplied by this value              "soil":              {              "item":              "minecraft:grass_block"              // The item that plants this soil in the bonsai pot              }              ,              "compatibleSoilTags":              [              "grass"              // Simply trees also having these tags can grow on this soil              ]              ,              "display":              {              "cake":              "minecraft:grass_block"              // The block that'south being used to render the soil              // "fluid": "minecraft:lava"                // You can likewise use fluids here!              }              }

Step 2, Sapling

Create the sapling recipe:

              {              "type":              "bonsaitrees3:sapling"              ,              // The recipe type. Must be "bonsaitrees3:sapling"!              "atmospheric condition":              [              {              // Weather are optional              "type":              "forge:mod_loaded"              ,              "modid":              "tconstruct"              }              // The modernistic required for this tree to go loaded              ]              ,              "sapling":              {              "particular":              "minecraft:azalea"              }              ,              // The ingredient that grows this tree (or whatever). Can also be an array of ingredients!              "drops":              [              // An array of drops this tree produces each harvest              {              "rolls":              1              ,              "chance":              0.05              ,              // The number of rolls and the take chances for each gyre for this drop              "issue":              {              "item":              "minecraft:azalea"              }              // The name of the item for this drop              }              ,              {              "rolls":              ane              ,              "risk":              0.75              ,              "issue":              {              "item":              "minecraft:oak_log"              }              }              ,              {              "rolls":              iii              ,              "adventure":              0.ii              ,              "result":              {              "particular":              "minecraft:stick"              }              ,              "requiredUpgrades":              {              // EXPERIMENTAL: This allows configuring boosted upgrade item required for this drop              "tag":              "forge:fences"              // This is a bit of a stupid example: Sticks only drop if a fence is used as upgrade particular.              }              }              ,              {              "rolls":              2              ,              "chance":              0.15              ,              "consequence":              {              "item":              "minecraft:azalea_leaves"              }              ,              "requiresSilkTouch":              true              // Indicates that this particular merely drops if a Silk Touch upgrade is present              }              ,              {              "rolls":              ii              ,              "gamble":              0.05              ,              "result":              {              "item":              "minecraft:flowering_azalea_leaves"              }              ,              "requiresBees":              true              // Indicates that this detail only drops if a Bee Hive/Nest upgrade is installed              }              ]              ,              "compatibleSoilTags":              [              "dirt"              ,              "grass"              ]              // What types of soil this tree can grow on              }

Pace 3, Model

Create the model for the tree or whatsoever it is that you want to brand growable. That's pretty easy as long as you don't want to write the json file yourself. If there is no model for your sapling it will be rendered equally the item version instead.

a) Kickoff up the game and observe the tree, construction that should be grown in the pot.

b) Isolate it from any other blocks touching it. Diagonally also counts! To make sure just add together a ii block margin of air around the "thing".

c) Run the /bonsai maker X Y Z command by looking at the affair and using tab completion. This will re-create the wanted JSON into your systems clipboard. Paste information technology into the newly created file.

d) Adjust the blazon belongings to bonsaitrees3:sapling/XXX/YYY, where XXX is the modern id and YYY is essentially the proper name of the sapling file. Following the example above that would be "type": "bonsaitrees3:sapling/minecraft/azalea_tree".

Do not write these yourself!

Footstep 4: Packet it upwards

Equipped with these three files you now need to either create a Pull Request to get the back up into the mod itself. Or you lot create a data and a resource pack to distribute with your modpack. The files for the soil and sapling recipe belong into a data pack, whereas the model belongs into a resources pack. The easiest way to become going there is to use the Open up Loader mod.

Where the files demand to go placed depends on the manner yous desire to integrate these changes. For Pull Requests this should exist

src/chief/resources/assets/bonsaitrees3/models/tree/30/YYY.json for the model
src/master/resources/data/bonsaitrees3/recipes/sapling/XXX/YYY.json for sapling recipes
src/main/resources/data/bonsaitrees3/recipes/soil/XXX/YYY.json for sapling recipes

If y'all create a datapack or resources pack your paths volition be slightly unlike. Please read the Open up Loader description and the wiki pages it links to (ane, 2) to acquire more about this.

Contributing to the project

You lot can easily help in multiple means:

Add translations using POEditor
Create json files to support copse added by other mods
Create data packs for originally unintended things: eastward.g. create a data+resources pack that allows growing iron/copper/gilt nuggets. We are happy to promote those here and on the CurseForge project folio.
I am also looking for someone who tin deal with Pull Requests for new trees/soils. If you lot know your way effectually json and git and want to help, please feel free to contact me.
