sapling drop rates of different trees

[/u/Dummi26]

I wanted to know how many saplings, on average, are dropped by the different tree types, for each placed sapling. To get this, I used command blocks to place a sapling, wait for it to grow, break the tree down, collect all the items, and repeat this 100 times. Results: For 100 trees, here are the number of dropped saplings and the sapling return rate (dropped saplings divided by 100 or 400 for large trees) Cherry: 1264 -> 12.64 Acacia: 421 -> 4.21 Oak: 361 -> 3.61 Spruce: 301 -> 3.01 / 1101 (small tree) -> 2.7525 (large tree) Birch: 261 -> 2.61 Jungle: 127 -> 1.27 (small tree) / 660 -> 1.65 (large tree) Dark Oak: 604 -> 1.51 (large tree) Pale Oak: 567 -> 1.4175 (large tree) Interpretation: cherry trees drop a ridiculous amount of saplings for spruce trees, you will gain slightly more saplings when growing small trees for jungle trees, you will gain less saplings when growing small trees → try to take enough saplings from a jungle so you don't risk having less than 4 should you get unlucky, and don't use your spare 1-3 saplings to grow smaller trees unless you already have enough saplings pale oak has the worst sapling return (if you don't count the small jungle trees) notes: i'm not very active on reddit. also, idk which flair to pick for this, but guides&tutorials fits the vibe best imo submitted by /u/Dummi26 [link] [comments]
