Sturdy Trees reworks the entire wood-processing loop into a slower, more deliberate, Better Than Wolves–style progression.

Logs feel heavier, stumps matter, and early-game crafting is grounded in physical actions instead of instant vanilla recipes.

🌳 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

💻 Configuration & Integration

• Configuration options: Config file toggles for toggling saplings bone meal functionality
