saplings each time.

## Technical info
--------------
This mod is named `regrow` a simplified optimized version
of fruits nodes to reappears on place after dig using timer parameters.
#### Dependences
none, core minetest api, the mod has a node detection inside the api function
so its secure to use no matter if the corresponding node exits or not.
### Configuration
Each fruit will grow depending of the minimun and maximun value,
the time the fruit appears is random between the two configured values:
| setting name | description | type | default | observations |
| ------------------- | ----------------------- | --- | ------- | ----------- |
| regrow_min_interval | Minimum Regrow Interval | int | 600 | Seconds |
| regrow_max_interval | Maximum Regrow Interval | int | 1200 | seconds |
### Overview:
Based on "endless_apples" by Shara RedCat (2018). Its starting
at https://forum.minetest.net/viewtopic.php?p=379158#p379158 to solve
an issue over growing fruits and now is mantained.
The mod works as is but can be used for other mods, currently the mod
has support for `ethereal`, `farming_plus`, `australia`, `aotearoa`,
and `moretrees`. It also support some special others.

#### API usage
The `regrow.add_fruit()` function is used to override each fruits `after_dig_node`
function so that an placeholder node (nostly leaves) is placed once it is taken, then a timer is
started that will regrow the fruit on completion (unless tree is chopped down).
#### Definition
`regrow.add_fruit(fruit_node, leaves_node, param2_check_override)`
#### Examples:
```
regrow.add_fruit("default:apple", "default:leaves")
regrow.add_fruit("cacaotree:pod", "cacaotree:trunk", true)
```
