TwerkingForTrees#

TwerkingForTrees lets your players grow trees faster by twerking.

Created and maintained by tastybento.

Compatibility

Requires BentoBox 3.14.0 or newer, Minecraft 1.21.3 – 1.21.4, and Java 21.

Installation#

  1. Place the addon jar in the addons folder of the BentoBox plugin
  2. Restart the server
  3. Plant trees on your island
  4. Twerk, twerk, twerk...
  5. Trees grow!

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.

  • Spotted a mistake or awkward phrasing? Open an issue or a PR on the relevant repository at bentobox.world (a short link to our GitHub org), or tell us on Discord.
  • Want to add a brand-new language? Open a PR adding a new locale file to src/main/resources/locales/ in the relevant repo, or ask on Discord and we'll get you started.

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.yml now use the lowercase dotted form (e.g. block.note_block.bass). Refresh your config.yml if 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), and range (search radius for saplings).
  • Now ships a Pladdon and plugin.yml for 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.
