- Twerk, twerk, twerk...

Trees#
Most trees grow from a single twerked sapling. Dark Oak and Pale Oak are the exception: like vanilla Minecraft they are 2x2-only mega-trees, so you must arrange four saplings in a 2x2 grid and twerk next to them — a single sapling will not grow.

Translations#
Help us keep translations accurate
Most BentoBox and addon translations are now generated with the help of AI, so the bulk of the work is already done — but AI is not perfect. What we really need from the community is error reports and corrections.

What's new in v1.6.0 — Breaking changes
Released: 2026-06-01
A big modernisation release. See the full Release v1.6.0 notes.
- 🔺 Requires BentoBox 3.14.0 (Java 21, Paper 1.21.11, Minecraft 1.21.3 – 1.21.4). The addon will not load on older servers.
- 🌳 Added Pale Oak tree support, including its 2x2 mega-tree variant. Like Dark Oak, Pale Oak is a 2x2-only tree — a single sapling will not grow.
- ⚙️ Sound configuration format changed. Sound identifiers in
config.ymlnow use the lowercase dotted form (e.g.block.note_block.bass). Refresh yourconfig.ymlif carrying one over from 1.5.2 so twerk and tree-growth sounds keep working. - Added new config options:
hold-for-twerk(accessibility — hold crouch instead of tapping),sprint-to-grow(grow trees by sprinting), andrange(search radius for saplings). - Now ships a
Pladdonandplugin.ymlfor modern, dependency-aware loading on Paper. - Fixed Dark Oak saplings being grown from a single sapling, restored per-block island boundary enforcement so logs and leaves can no longer spill past the island edge, and fixed a tree-growth resource leak.
- Added a JUnit 5 / MockBukkit test suite.
