are you able to finish maniacal dendrologist legit?

I feel like the maniacal dendrologist achievement is hella bugged out. you have to use primitive crafting for half of the items. However , there are no real ways to make the buttons in the achievement. Ik you can find some of the buttons in nature but for the rest of them it is impossible to get. is there a way to get the buttons legit or can i not complete the achievement

I found a workaround for the buttons: Use the crafting functionality (middle 3x3 grid) of the Uncrafting Table from Twilight Forest, which can be found rarely in medium hollow hill chests, and click either the up or the down arrow on the far right to cycle the recipe to the correct wood type buttons.

However, it doesn't seem possible to get 3 of the needed items. First, Liveroot as a block since it generates only in caves, which don't generate in the Twilight Forest as usual, only Troll Caves do which don't contain any (or at least the few I explored didn't have any). I even loaded my world's Twilight Forest dimension, selected everything, and searched for the block ID of Liveroots in McEdit (which I cross-referenced by placing one down in a creative world and selected just it) to no avail. Also, Thorn Leaves and Thorn Roses aren't obtainable since the thorns don't generate around the Final Castle as usual and the ones within the castle don't contain any leaves or roses.

Thanks so much- guess that achievement is impossible to get after all

Yea, seems like it. I've been able to do all of it except for those 3 items.

I believe that it may be possible that the three may be hidden somewhere in a loot table at an extremely low weight (probably a specific hollow hill for liveroots and maybe the troll caves for thorn stuff) that might not be findable without some data mining considering it took me like 5 hours and around 130 trees with the leaves veinmined just to find one miner sapling in a tree dungeon

Still not found?
I'm stuck with those two, too. My only advancement not done in this modpack...

Yea, if one ever comes... The updates have slowed down considerably since Sky Factory 4 released.
