Update 1.18.2 version to include Ancient Sapling / Wood.
Despite the lore revolving around finding the saplings within the Ancient Cities, which was not introduced until 1.19+, there are mods that introduce the Deep Dark and Variants of the Ancient City to earlier versions of the game, but even if updated to include them and not found naturally in the wild for that reason would be acceptable.
Ancient was a remarkable addition to the game and with those of us that downgrade versions for our servers for various reasons, its a huge drawback to lose a popular item due to it only being available in newer versions.

1.18.2 was released 2 years ago, back porting is a painful process that no one on the team wants to do as it takes quite a while, vazkii's general stance on back ports/supporting multiple versions has been nope since it takes too much time away from maintaining the mod for active versions like 1.20.1
