Member Details. Plant birch trees, each one five blocks from the next in a square grid, with a torch on the ground between each pair of trees. If you plant around 50 birch trees they will grow faster than you can harvest them and you will have an infinite supply of wood. Rollback Post to Revision RollBack.

The max amount of logs in a birch tree is 7, and they never branch. For the tallest tree, you just have to leave the bottom block intact to …

Instead, add a block state so that we know what type of tree a sapling will grow into, which will be visible when the F3 menu is opened and you are looking at a sapling. The block state should be randomized out of the options computed to …

I had it at 8 blocks above the sapling before as I wanted the largest non-branching oak tree to grow, but then I lowered it one to 7 when the large oak trees were still growing, but it didn’t help. The dirt blocks I used to block off the trees weren’t replaced when leaves grew through them, but as soon as the logs reached that high they were replaced completely.

Putting a block above the sapling will work. When the tree tries to grow it attempts to use a specific model and if that model does not fit then the growth fails. As a result you will need to use more bonemeal or wait longer for the tree to grow because there are more chances that it will try models that don’t fit.

The most space-efficient way to prevent grown trees from blocking light to other saplings is to have every sapling directly next to a torch (not diagonal). This strategy yields a basic space efficiency of 80% since the pattern is made up of units of 1 torch + 4 saplings. The plus-sign shaped units can be arranged to completely fill an area.

(Optional) Apply Bonemeal to the Minecraft sapling to spur its growth. Since tree generation is partially randomized, this method may not guarantee a massive tree either.

The absolute best way to handle this issue is to avoid it altogether by planting the right tree in the right place. Look at a tree’s height at maturity and make sure you have space for it before planting. Can you keep big trees small by pruning it to keep it short?

Big Oak: 13×13? width, 19? height (big oak trees are hard to test so this could be slightly off, also, big oak trees grow 1 leaf block taller if spawned naturally in a biome without the use of saplings) Regular Oak: 5×5 width, 7 height (somewhat redundant since there is always the possibility that a big oak will grow instead of a regular one)
