Minecraft items normally just disappear if left on the ground for 5 minutes. This datapack makes sapling and seed items plant themselves instead of disappearing like normal items.

I made this for my server because players were never replanting any trees they cut down, leaving very few trees around spawn. This is a simple and easy way to grow forests or replant trees without manually planting saplings, or even plant crops by simply dropping seeds on soil.

The full list of items that will plant themselves is as follows:

• ALL tree saplings and propagules
  
• ALL seeds
• Potatoes and carrots
• Nether warts
