TwerkingForTrees

Tired of staring at saplings, waiting for them to grow? Drop it low and watch them go! TwerkingForTrees is a BentoBox addon that lets players speed up tree growth by twerking (rapidly crouching) near saplings. Because sometimes nature just needs a little encouragement.

How It Works

1. Plant a sapling on your island
2. Stand near it and crouch repeatedly (a.k.a. twerk)
3. Hit the twerk threshold and your sapling bursts into a full-grown tree, complete with sound effects and particle sparkles

That's it. No bone meal needed. Just vibes.

Features

• All tree types supported — Oak, Birch, Spruce, Jungle, Acacia, Dark Oak, Azalea, Mangrove, Cherry, and Pale Oak
• Mega tree support — Place saplings in a 2x2 grid for Dark Oak, Jungle, Spruce, and Pale Oak mega trees, then twerk them into existence
  • Note: Dark Oak and Pale Oak are 2x2-only trees, just like in vanilla Minecraft. A single Dark Oak or Pale Oak sapling will not grow on its own — you must arrange four in a 2x2 grid.
• Customizable sounds & particles — Configure the twerk sound, tree growth sounds, and visual effects to your liking
• Configurable twerk threshold — Set how many twerks are required before growth kicks in (default: 4)
• Adjustable range — Control how far from the player saplings are detected (default: 5 blocks in all directions)
• Accessibility modes:
  • Hold-to-twerk — Hold the crouch button instead of mashing it repeatedly
  • Sprint-to-grow — Sprint near saplings instead of crouching, for players who prefer a different groove

1. Install BentoBox on your Spigot/Paper server
