Suddenly unable to grow big red spruce in latest version

[Traehgniw]

I'm not 100% sure of the intended sapling pattern because nothing seems to have player-useful documentation anywhere, but I've tried 2x2, 3x3, and plus-shaped and none of them worked and I know at least one of those worked in a previous version because I grew some 2x2 red spruce and a 2x2 orange spruce.

I cut one of those down today (red spruce) and have been unable to replace it - just one of the red spruce saplings planted grows, and it grows as a 1x1 tree, sometimes with a few extra blocks at the base.

Which MC Version

[Traehgniw]

1.21.1

I have since noticed further detail on this. It only seems to affect being unable to bonemeal saplings into 2x2 trees.

I'm gonna work with the dev team to make some type of wiki for this mod at somepoint we just haven't had the time I also at some point will go through each sapling and see the trees and make better choices for patterns

Heya, I opened up another bug report that might get merged with this one due to being the same issue, as such I feel like I should make you aware that your bug is likely being caused by world height.

Here's how you can help test verify if we're having the same exact bug;
With the latest 1.21.1 version, load up a superflat world & try growing 4 of whatever 2x2 trees you want, though I'd recommend including one of the Enchanted wood types due to them being smaller & further illustrating the bugs cause;

Now pillar up to 17 blocks in height & see if they go from generating, to suddenly refusing to grow entirely & post a screenshot like mine with F3 open;
