MC-8187 / 2x2 Surrounded Saplings Fix
The 2x2 Surrounding Saplings fix for MC-8187 allows 2x2 saplings such as spruce, jungle and dark oak to grow even when completely surrounded on all 4 sides.
Simple, it fixes an offset in TreeFeature.getTopPosition that makes 2x2 trees check a 3x3 area at the trunk, catching additional blocks that don't determine how the tree should grow.
Simply install Fabric or Quilt for Minecraft 1.16 and newer, then install this mod.
Theoretically, 2x2 trees may spawn more frequently in a given world, and old builds not expecting 2x2 saplings to grow may suddenly get a surprise.
Any modded trees that are 3x3 may also erroneously check for a 2x2 trunk if it relies on the generator to filter out whether a space is valid.
- This mod was written on 1.16.5 and works as is on 1.16 through 1.20.1.
- I wrote this mod using Segoe Script.
- Some hate the compatibility cockroach that is this mod.
