“Dropped from skyroot leaves. Plants a skyroot tree”
—Book of Lore

Saplings are a type of item found in the Aether. They may be used to replant trees.

Obtaining

Saplings can be broken using any tools and will always drop themselves.

Leaves

When Leaves are destroyed by any tool (besides shears), Green Skyroot Leaves have a 10% chance of dropping a sapling. Dark Blue Skyroot Leaves instead have a 4% chance, while Blue Skyroot Leaves have a 8% chance, and Purple Crystal Leaves and Golden Oak Leaves have a 2% chance.

Usage

Saplings come in five kinds, which are Green Skyroot, Golden Oak, Blue Skyroot, Purple Crystal, and Dark Blue Skyroot.

Fuel

Saplings may be used as fuel for a Holystone Furnace. The burn time is five seconds.

Growing Trees

See also: Tree

Saplings may grow into trees when placed on Aether Dirt. However, they will grow much faster, if you place them on Aether Grass. Saplings requires a light level of at least 9, and require a certain amount of space around the sapling. Golden Oak Saplings are said to take longer to grow than all other saplings in the mod. Bone Meal may be used to accelerate the growth, even without light.

Saplings have two growth stages (no visible differences) before growing into trees. At first, a height is chosen and then the ground and air is checked; if the ground blocks are invalid or if there is not enough space for the sapling type, the tree will not grow.
