✨ What’s New

Better TreeChop 2.1.0: falling trees now look like the trees in your world, plus new quality-of-life options and fixes.

🆕 New Content

• Crosshair axe icon: a small white axe next to the crosshair when you aim at a tree you can fell or at a lying trunk. You can turn it off and pick its color (white, gray, gold, green, aqua, red)
• Presets: one-click Realistic, Light (performance) and Almost vanilla setups in the config screen
• Size-based fall sounds: small trees fall with a lighter, higher sound and big trees with a deep, heavy thud
• Sapling from inventory: if a tree drops no sapling, auto-replant takes a matching one from your inventory
• Building protection: logs touching planks, glass, doors, stairs, slabs, beds or wool count as a building, so nothing falls
• Trees falling at once: a new limit (8 by default); any extra trees drop as items right away, which keeps servers safe during domino chains
• Merge drops: items from one tree are merged into full stacks, so fewer items lie on the ground and there is less lag

⚔ Changes

• New falling tree rendering: falling and lying trees use the same lighting, face shading, ambient occlusion, biome colors and face culling as blocks in the world
• Correct shading after the fall: a lying trunk is shaded by the direction each face points now, so it is no longer too bright
• Leaves stay with their own tree: a felled tree only takes leaves that match its wood (birch with birch, oak with oak and azalea), and no longer grabs leaves from neighbouring trees
• Cleaner Jade counter: chopping progress uses the default Jade style (gray label, white value), and the tree size shows when you hold Shift
• Leaf sway with Sodium/Iris: sway turns itself off when Sodium or Iris is installed and shows a short message instead of silently not working

🐛 Fixes

• Fixed: the trunk and branches inside the crown no longer disappear while a tree is falling
• Fixed: ugly, shredded-looking textures during the fall animation
• Fixed: Jade no longer shows “Falling Tree” when you look at the empty air around a lying trunk
