While an interesting idea, I do not care for the grove sprites ability to plant saplings. They spawn quite frequently and I'm having random trees pop up in places around my base where I don't want them. I don't want to disable the mob, just keep it from being able to plant.

Does the planting respect the mobgriefing gamerule? If so, I can just use that as a workaround until/if a config option is added for this request

Ah right, thanks! Makes sense, will add the config option in the next version. Sorry for the inconvenience.

So I did just test it with mobGriefing set to false and they can still plant, so yeah having the ability to turn this off with a config would be awesome :D

This is in the latest 1.2.3 build btw :)
