Ok, so I've been encountering a bit of an issue related to custom tree generation.. The fact of the matter is, I don't really understand how to create custom world generation as of yet. I also don't want it to utilize bonemeal as a growth speed up, but some custom item instead.

if you dont want to use bonemeal, then create your one block for the sapling, use the random ticking to get them to grow (i asume you have your own code for generating grown trees) there is aslo a event in blocks fro when a player clicks them , use that or the click with item event items has for fast growing

 

I would like to see one of your grown trees, I have not been able to generate random ones that look good yet

 

Technincally I am recoding an old mod that added world gen which included tree like generation, which I do plan on changing how they look after I learn how to world gen proper, and so far it never generates at all. I don't really want to do it the easy way, one reason I don't like copy and paste jobs, or programs like mccreators. Though if i do copy/paste I usually do it with the knowledge that I will change it for the better, especially if it's open sourced

Have a look at https://github.com/Eternaldoom/Realms-of-Chaos/blob/master/com/eternaldoom/realmsofchaos/overworld/blocks/BlockCharwoodSapling.java

Ok, this does make sense, but I do have a question, will this result in a tree that will grow with time?

No, but that can be copied from the vanilla saplings.

Thanks, currently working on new tree shaping, I will try to get it to generate randomly, or I will make it generate depending on the block it's on, haven't decided yet
