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

Appearance

Mangroves consist of four large moss carpet-covered roots supporting a central trunk. From a large canopy hangs vines and mangrove propagules.

Generation

Mangroves spawn naturally in the mangrove swamp biome and in "display 2" inside trial chambers entrance types.

Blocks and items

These items can be obtained from mangrove:

• Mangrove Leaves (harvested with shears)
• Mangrove Log (harvested with any tool including hands)
• Stick (chance of dropping when breaking leaves)
• Mangrove Planks (created from a log in the inventory crafting grid)
• Stripped Mangrove Log (created by using an axe on a log)
• Mangrove Propagule (if fully grown, drops when it is broken)
• Muddy Mangrove Roots (harvested with any tool including hands)
• Mangrove Roots (harvested with any tool including hands)
• Vines (harvested with shears)
• Moss Carpet (harvested with any tool including hands)
• Bee Nest (1% chance of generating)

Planting

A mangrove in air, held by a single grass block.

The locations where solid blocks can go are shown by brown stained glass.

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

• Dirt
• Grass Block
• Coarse Dirt
• Podzol
• Mycelium
• Rooted Dirt
• Moss Block
• Pale Moss Block
• Farmland
• Mud
• Muddy Mangrove Roots
• Clay

When mangrove trees grow, they convert any mud in the way of the mangrove roots to 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 mud, muddy mangrove roots, mangrove roots, vines, leaves, and moss carpet) to be in all four directions; within a 1X15X5 area for the north and south and 5X15X1 in the east and west vertically centered on the block the mangrove propagule is planted on; for each column only the highest block (excluding mud and 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.

Based on 1000+ iterations of using a command block to replace the central mangrove tree trunk with air, and the propagule on the ground, along with using a high random tick speed rate, the maximum dimensions the of a mangrove tree is 27 blocks tall, 17x17 wide, consisting of leaves that are 5 pillars of 5x5 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 bee nest containing 2-3 bees. Unlike other tree types, this does not require the propagule to be placed next to flowers.
