Randomise Poplar Leaf Colour on Placement

Suggestion
The colour of poplar leaves should be randomised when placed, not when grown.

The item texture would be a sapling with all the colours. When placed, a yellow, orange or red sapling would be chosen at random. Rather than wasting time or bone meal on the sapling just to get an unwanted leaf colour, you would simply pick it up and place it again (as you would with paintings).

Why should this be implemented?
As things stand, there's currently no way to control the leaf colour.

Many have proposed having three different saplings. However, I fear this would add additional storage clutter in survival, but having them in creative would make sense.

With my suggestion you would have both options: choose the colour manually, or leave it up to chance (i.e. don't pick it up again).

    Maybe youd have to place blocks next to it to encourage certain colours but i 100% agree

    Please no, this would make placing lots of leaves take forever if you just want one color!
