Minecraft:Mangrove

Template:Infobox structure A mangrove is a Minecraft:tree with large canopies and aerial root systems found in Minecraft:mangrove swamps. They can grow in Minecraft:water or on land, and their Minecraft:wood color is vermillion. They can be planted in the air, but their roots always touch the ground.

Appearance

Mangroves consist of four large "branches" of mangrove roots supporting a central trunk, covered with moss carpets. The main trunk is short with a large, randomized canopy covered in Minecraft:vines. Minecraft:Mangrove propagules sometimes hang underneath the leaves.

Generation

Mangroves generate naturally in the Minecraft:mangrove swamp biome. Every tree has a 1% chance to generate with a bee nest with 2-3 Minecraft:bees inside.

A unique variant has a Template:Frac (22.2%) chance to generate in "display 2" inside Minecraft:trial chambers entrances.

Minecraft:Mangrove propagules can be planted and grown on all of these blocks, even if submerged underwater:

When mangrove trees grow, they convert any Minecraft:mud in the way of the Minecraft:mangrove roots to Minecraft:muddy mangrove roots. They require a minimum clear space of 5×5 to grow. However, they can grow in smaller spaces, like a 1×1 area, as long as the walls don't exceed 10 blocks in height from the block where the sapling is planted. In such cases, the tree grows on top of the confined space. The smallest box in which a tree can be planted is 5×5×5, and the tree's maximum size blueprint occupies a 13×13×18 volume. They require a block (excluding Minecraft:mud, Minecraft:muddy mangrove roots, Minecraft:mangrove roots, Minecraft:vines, Minecraft:leaves, and Minecraft:moss carpet) to be in all four directions; within a 1×15×5 area for the north and south and 5×15×1 in the east and west vertically centered on the block the Minecraft:mangrove propagule is planted on; for each column only the highest block (excluding Minecraft:mud and Minecraft:water) in the area is checked. Not every combination of locations is valid, the roots have specific patterns of columns they check. The roots grow to these blocks.

The maximum dimensions of a mangrove tree is 27 blocks tall, 17×17 wide, consisting of leaves that are 5 pillars of 5×5 leaves arranged in a cross pattern, with tapering on the bottom and hollowing on the top. The center is the lowest, north and south are a block taller, and east and west are yet another block taller. The branches can spread as far as 5 blocks from the center trunk, and as high as 25 blocks from the ground. The roots appear to form pyramids to hold the outward and upward spread of logs.

Vines can appear anywhere on the tree. Propagules can appear anywhere on the tree provided that there is space underneath a leaf block.

When a mangrove grows from a propagule, it has a 1% chance of generating a Minecraft:bee nest containing 2-3 bees. Unlike other tree types, this does not require the propagule to be placed next to flowers.<ref>Template:Bug</ref>
