The Millennium Tree is an Idle Game made in The Modding Tree by catfish-in-a-nutshell and released in 2022. It has five layers based on time measurements, and once you have enough of one, you can reset for the ones at the bottom. Most of them have milestones and upgrades to make further passage of time easier. Reach the year the game came out in to win!

The game is playable here.


This game provides examples of:

  • Anti-Frustration Features: The Months layer has a button that lets you automatically reset while held. It's mostly meant for mobile players, but it can help on computer as well.
  • Color-Coded for Your Convenience: Each layer has its own color.
    • Minute: Green
    • Hour: Orange
    • Day: Red
    • Month: Purple
    • Year: Indigo
  • Cooldown: The Days layer resets nothing while acting as a resource gatherer, so to prevent spamming there's a 30 second wait between resets. The April milestone reduces it to 15, while the August milestone passively generates Days, rendering it moot by that point.
  • Export Save: You can press a button to export the 4KB+ savefile and another to paste it into the game.
  • Post-End Game Content: The game clearly ends on year 2022, but you can continue and accumulate a few more years if so desired.
  • Reset Milestones: Starting from Hour, each layer has milestones that are unlocked by getting its respective resource enough times. They often provide convenient features like Months resetting nothing or boosts to time, but several Months milestones don't provide anything and a few in the Years layer actually make progression far slower so the endgame doesn't feel unsatisfying.
  • The Very Definitely Final Dungeon: When the goal of the game is reaching year 2022, you know the Year layer has to be the last.
  • Year Inside, Hour Outside: Thanks to the various milestones and resources, you end up getting over 1e13,000 seconds per real-life seconds. Even if you disregard that and only look at the in-game timer, the game runs at 60x speed by the end and counts a minute for every real-life second.
