New trees that spawn in Savanna drop wrong sapling and are unable to be reproduced
The new biome, Savanna, has these new trees that generate in them. They are made out of jungle wood, and oak leaves. When cutting down one of these new trees and the leafs start to deteriorate, they drop oak saplings. When trying to grow this sapling in the Savanna biome, it just grows a normal oak tree. And in the creative menu, there are still only 4 saplings.
Maybe I am missing something, but it appears as if it is impossible to grow these new trees yourself.
I'll provide a picture of the new tree.

The Swamp biome Trees are also not abled to reproduse
Swamp biom trees are oak trees... they just generate vines on world generation (its not a different tree).
All the new tree shapes are not createable yet (the 2x2 spruce trees for example).
Maybe they will add it later on. I mean it are oak leaves.
It is not a bug actually, but maybe they can add a special sapling 2 it
I'm hoping these are just placeholders and get replaced by new wood and new leaves with corresponding saplings
I hope they get replaced with new trees
i knew mojang would be lazy with trees like this
Its not really lazy. The biome does change the color of the leaves and if you have a pair of sheers you could collect a bunch of oak leaves and cut down some jungle trees and just build the savanna trees yourself.
But it would be alot easier and cooler if you could grow these savanna trees anywhere you want thanks to a sapling.
I agree with Trevor
the trees in roofed forrest can also not be reproduced by placing 4 spruce sapplings in a square and bonemealing them.
The giant trees in mega taiga can also not be grown by placing 4 pine sapplings in a square and bonemealing them.
No idea if thats a bug too
Dinnerbone
Too bad. Really should be able to regrow the new trees. Calling Mojang lazy probably doesn't help though.
It says that it has been fixed and by Dinnerbone. So that either means that this was marked as fixed because this technically isn't a bug or these trees will actually be growable. Im hoping these trees will be growable with their own saplings though.
Doesn't matter to me if they have their own sapling or not as, if they produce the same kind of wood, it doesn't necessarily make sense that they have a new sapling type.
What does make sense is that if you plant a sapling from one of these trees in the correct biome, they produce the correct tree and that they drop the sapling that matches the wood they produce.
Thanks Dinnerbone!
It's fixed in the current snapshot. Now (newly generated) acacia and roofed forest trees have their own leaves, saplings and wood, so you can regrow them. The only trees you still aren't able to regrow are these large mega taiga spruce trees, but I guess this may be fixed soon, too.
be aware though that the new leaves still don't drop the right sappling yet. at least I havent seen it with any leaves despawning. they still drop the original sapplings instead of the new. (and yes I'm using newly generated trees. The acacia leaves are droping oak saplings for me in new worlds)
Probably just missed a line in the new leaves code saying use sapling "A"
Dinnerbone <3
And they even added separate textures for all new logs and leaves
The only thing I miss: Mega Spruce trees still can't be grown using 4 spruce saplings, or not?
not yet... I'm guessing that code is a little more complicated... probably gonna have to copy the jungle tree coding for the spruce sapling and change out items but I'm not a coding guru like the Mojang guys
