Falling timber
Chop the lowest log of a tree with an axe and watch the whole tree tilt, topple and crash to the ground. Every log and leaf becomes a block display entity that swings around the stump in one smooth, continuous motion. Then the tree rests, shrinks away and turns into normal drops.
Features
- Animated tree felling: a small creak, an accelerating topple, an impact bounce, a rest on the ground, then the blocks shrink into drops.
- Particles: wood chips at the stump, leaves shed while falling, dust and debris on impact, cherry petals for cherry trees.
- The tree falls away from the player, in the direction you are facing.
- All wood types: any log or stem, stripped variants included, plus Crimson and Warped trees. Wood types added in newer versions work without updates.
- Smart tree detection: only natural leaves count, and a minimum leaf count means log cabins and other builds are never felled.
- Auto-replant: plants the matching sapling (or fungus) where the tree stood, if the ground supports it. Each player can turn it off for themselves.
- Normal drops: logs, saplings, sticks and apples drop like vanilla (leaf drops can be turned off).
- Axe wear: durability is used per fallen log, and Unbreaking is respected.
- Protection friendly: a normal block break event is fired for every block in the tree, so claim and region plugins can stop the fall.
- Sneak to chop normally: hold sneak to break a single log the vanilla way.
- Personal menu: toggle tree felling, toggle auto-replant, and see your trees felled and logs collected.
- Size limits: trees bigger than the limit are left alone with an action bar message.
