About Sturdy Trees
From ModrinthA mod making trees much tougher, with an interesting breaking mechanic.
🌳 Core Gameplay Changes
🪵 Wood Processing
+ You no longer get planks or sticks from vanilla recipes. You must craft logs with an axe to break them down. + Processing logs can yield bark and sawdust as extra materials. + Slabs → Planks crafting is restored for all wood types.
🌲 Trees & Stumps
+ Cutting down a tree leaves a stump. Stumps need proper tools to remove. + Saplings now grow in stages. + Stumps can be converted into crafting tables using chisels from the Tough Environment mod. + Sapling are no longer bonemeal-able to grow instantly (configurable) + Logs & Stumps can turn into smouldering variants after being set on fire & generate ash + Leaves are passable-through & generate ash when they burn out
