## Why server owners love it
\n– \ud83c\udf31 Custom soil + sapling allowlists mean only the trees you approve can grow underwater.
\n– \ud83d\udee1\ufe0f Stability guard cancels physics + fluid breakage so underwater builds stay intact.
\n– \ud83d\udca1 Optional light override keeps saplings alive even in deep oceans.
\n– \ud83d\udd01 Live reload + config watcher merge new defaults automatically\u2014edit, save, done.
\n– \ud83d\udd14 Update checker (Modrinth + Hangar) and join reminders keep your fleet current.
\n– \ud83c\udf10 MiniMessage-powered localization lets you style player + console feedback exactly the way you like.<\/p>\n
## Requirements
\n– Paper 1.21.x server (Spigot\/vanilla forks are not supported).
\n– Java 21 runtime.
\n– Optional: a permissions plugin (LuckPerms, etc.) for fine-grained access to `\/timberella` commands.<\/p>\n

\n1. Drop `underwatertrees-paper-
\n2. Start the server once. `config.yml`, `lang\/`, and defaults appear under `plugins\/UnderwaterTrees\/`.
\n3. Adjust the config (materials, chat prefix, watcher flags) and run `\/underwatertrees reload`.<\/p>\n
\n– Use `saplings`\/`soils` maps to whitelist exactly what blocks are allowed underwater\u2014unknown materials are ignored safely.
\n– `protect-underwater-saplings` shields saplings from physics until your placement rules are broken; leave it on for survival worlds.
\n– Enable `log-detail` temporarily to print a full list of active materials and catch typos fast.
\n– Set `update-check.notify-console` + `update-check.notify-op-join` to true so updates are surfaced automatically, and flip `update-check.notify-console-always-shown` if you still want no-update provider summaries.
\n– Metrics (`metrics-enabled`) and update checks (`update-check.enabled`) are opt-out friendly if your policy requires it.<\/p>\n
