AppleTrees

AppleTrees

Grow, track, harvest, and automate apples like never before.

AppleTrees is a lightweight Minecraft mod for Forge and Fabric that adds custom Apple Trees with visible fruit growth, rare apple drops, Goblin Harvester automation, and Blaze Powder Infusion.

The goal is to keep apple farming simple, readable, and vanilla-friendly while adding enough progression to make orchards feel useful and rewarding.

Features

Visible Apple Growth

AppleTrees leaves use a visible multi-stage fruit growth system.

• Fruit stages 0–4
• Fully mature leaves can be harvested
• Fruit grows over time
• Bone meal support
• Clear in-game feedback through tooltips

No more guessing when apples are ready.

Apple Drops

Mature AppleTrees leaves can drop different apple types depending on rarity and harvest method.

Possible drops include:

• Apple
• Golden Apple
• Enchanted Golden Apple
• Amethyst Apple
• Netherite Apple

Rare apples are chance-based and are not guaranteed.

Netherite Apple

The Netherite Apple is an ultra-rare AppleTrees drop with powerful effects.

It is intentionally not craftable.

Netherite Apple effects:

• Regeneration VI
• Absorption VI
• Resistance VI
• Fire Resistance
• Strength V
• Speed II

The Netherite Apple is very strong, but it remains extremely rare and must be obtained through AppleTrees harvesting.

Amethyst Apple

The Amethyst Apple is a rare special apple that gives AppleTrees another progression step between Golden Apples and the strongest rare apples.

Blaze Powder Infusion

Blaze Powder Infusion lets you use vanilla Blaze Powder on AppleTrees leaves to boost the connected tree/leaf cluster.

How it works:

• Right-click AppleTrees leaves with Blaze Powder
• Works on fruiting and non-fruiting AppleTrees leaves
• Infuses connected fruiting leaves in that tree/cluster
• Infused leaves grow faster
• Each infused fruiting leaf gets one boosted mature harvest
• Infusion clears after that leaf is harvested
• Uses custom particles and sound

There are no charges, no long timer, and no permanent infusion. One infusion gives one boosted harvest per infused fruiting leaf.

Goblin Harvester

The Goblin Harvester is an orchard helper that can automatically harvest mature AppleTrees fruit and deposit the drops into nearby storage.

The Goblin can:

• Harvest mature fruiting leaves
• Store apple drops internally
• Deposit into chests and barrels
• Work with Apple, Golden Apple, Enchanted Golden Apple, Amethyst Apple, and Netherite Apple
• Prioritize rare/special apples
• Avoid flooding storage with endless regular apples

Smart Storage Sorting

The Goblin Harvester supports item-frame-based storage sorting.

Place an item frame on a chest or barrel and put the matching apple item in the frame.

Supported labels:

• Apple
• Golden Apple
• Enchanted Golden Apple
• Amethyst Apple
• Netherite Apple

The Goblin will only deposit matching items into labeled storage.

Examples:

• Apple label = regular Apples only
• Golden Apple label = Golden Apples only
• Enchanted Golden Apple label = Enchanted Golden Apples only
• Amethyst Apple label = Amethyst Apples only
• Netherite Apple label = Netherite Apples only

Double chests are treated as one full container. If one matching labeled container is full, the Goblin can move to the next matching container, making larger orchard lanes easier to manage.

Goblin Commands

AppleTrees includes commands for managing Goblin Harvester behavior:

• /appletrees goblin sethome
• /appletrees goblin resetanchor
• /appletrees goblin status

These are useful if you move a Goblin to a new orchard and want it to stop returning to an old base.

Integrations

AppleTrees supports helpful in-game integrations:

• Jade tooltip support
• WTHIT support where available
• JEI recipe support
• Server-synced tooltip data
• Optional debug logging

Tooltip information can show:

• Growth stage
• Harvest readiness
• Mature state
• Time-related status
• Blaze Infusion status

Debug Logging

AppleTrees includes optional debug logging for testing and bug reports.

Command:

/appletrees debug on/off/status

Debug logging can help track:

• Growth cycles
• Harvest events
• Drop rolls
• Goblin behavior
• Internal leaf states
• Infusion behavior

This is useful for bug reports, balancing, and troubleshooting.

Compatibility

• Forge
• Fabric
• Jade
• WTHIT
• JEI

Support may vary depending on the Minecraft version and loader version.

Goal

AppleTrees is designed to be:

• Lightweight
• Vanilla-friendly
• Easy to understand
• Useful for survival orchards
• Helpful for automation without becoming too complicated

AppleTrees makes apple growth visible, understandable, and satisfying while adding rare apple progression and orchard automation.
