Bountiful Trees – Grow Ores, Not Just Wood
Bountiful Trees introduces a new way to gather resources in Minecraft Bedrock — by growing them.
This addon lets you cultivate trees made of ores, minerals, and gems, turning your farms into renewable sources of valuable materials while keeping a natural and immersive look.
It blends farming and mining into a single, balanced progression system.
How It Works
Each ore tree begins from a special sapling crafted with the mineral it represents.
Once planted, it grows into a tree with a mineral-infused trunk and custom ore leaves.
When fully grown, breaking the trunk yields both logs and ores, offering a decorative and practical alternative to mining.
Ore trees grow just like vanilla saplings:
- They can grow naturally over time
- Or be instantly grown using Bone Meal
No special tools or machines are required — simply plant, wait, and harvest.
Crafting Ore Saplings
Each ore sapling is crafted using:
- 1x Oak Sapling
- 8x of the corresponding mineral
For example:
| Sapling | Recipe | Output |
|---|---|---|
| Iron Sapling | 1 Oak Sapling + 8 Iron Ingots | Iron Ore Tree |
| Diamond Sapling | 1 Oak Sapling + 8 Diamonds | Diamond Ore Tree |
| Gold Sapling | 1 Oak Sapling + 8 Gold Ingots | Gold Ore Tree |
These recipes make ore trees a mid-to-late game feature, rewarding exploration and offering renewable ore production later on.
Growth and Harvest
Ore trees feature trunks made of ore logs and unique leaves matching their mineral type.
These leaves behave like vanilla ones, meaning they drop ore saplings, allowing continuous replanting and expansion.
Breaking an ore tree’s trunk provides:
- Regular oak logs (as from normal trees)
- Ores or minerals depending on the sapling type
Any standard tool can be used — harvesting is simple, familiar, and rewarding.
UtilityCraft Compatibility
Bountiful Trees will soon feature full integration with UtilityCraft, allowing:
- Compact ore farming through Bonsai Pots
- Automation of harvesting and processing with UtilityCraft Machines
- Full energy-based systems powered by Dorios Energy (DE)
This compatibility will make the addon ideal for both survival and technical players, offering natural progression and automation opportunities.
