MagroveUnbound
A plugin that lets mangrove propagules grow like any ordinary sapling
⬇ Download on HangarA Paper **26.x** plugin that lets mangrove propagules grow like any ordinary sapling —
no mud grid, no minimum distance from solid blocks, no large clear volume.
## How it works
**Growth is attempted in two stages.**
1. **Vanilla first.** `World#generateTree(...)` runs the real mangrove feature and returns
a boolean. If it succeeds, you get a genuine vanilla mangrove — identical to normal
swamp growth. This is the common case out in the open.
2. **Fallback generator.** When vanilla returns `false` (it refused for lack of room), the
plugin builds a mangrove itself: trunk, canopy, and a suggestion of the root flare.
The fallback is deliberately **non-destructive**. It only writes into air, water, and
foliage; anything solid is simply skipped, and the trunk truncates to whatever vertical
room exists. It never breaks a player's blocks to make space. (The single exception is
opt-in: prop roots may burrow one block into mud, becoming muddy mangrove roots, as
vanilla does. Turn off `growth.replace-mud-with-muddy-roots` to forbid even that.)
