Felled

Timber falling with physics.

This mod is currently in Beta; please expect bugs

No known incompatibilities (crashes)

A physics-based treecapitator mod inspired by Tree Physics, but without Sable.

No sublevels, no fake animations. These are real physics bodies.

Everything Felled does

Felling

• Break a log and the tree works out what is still holding it up. Anything left hanging falls in one piece.
• Wide trunks (2x2 spruce, dark oak) give way once half their cross-section is cut.
• Vines, cocoa and snow stick. Not sure if I will keep vines or not.
• Player-built structures are never felled.

Physics

• Mass, centre of mass and inertia are computed from every block in the tree.
• Trees tip over the edge of their stump, crash through other trees' leaves, and roll to rest.
• A hard enough impact snaps the trunk in two, and the far half flies off on its own.
• Resting trees go to sleep and cost next to nothing until something disturbs them.
• Digging out the ground under a fallen trunk drops it again.

Harvesting

• Behaves the same as normal, but inside a physics space.
• Strip fallen logs with an axe (modded logs included).
• Leaves left without a log decay naturally over time.

Collisions

• Fallen trees are solid: stand on them, walk along them, and climb up a sloping trunk.
• Steep trunks are walls, so you slide off instead of scaling them.
• Ride a tree as it falls, rolls or floats, carried with the spot under your feet.
• Sneaking stops at the edge of a trunk, just like a block.

Water and Weight

• Logs float. A fallen tree floats and bobs when you jump on it.
• Your weight presses a floating log down where you stand.

Fire

• Fire on a tree is real vanilla fire.
• Fire ages, spreads, goes through logs and burns out just like vanilla.

What interacts?

• Rain and snow stop on fallen trees, and the ground beneath stays dry and shaded.
• Arrows, tridents and snowballs hit and interact with them.
• Explosions shove trees away and blow blocks off them.
• A log falling on your head hurts. You can die from it.
• Smooth lighting; shaded like real blocks.

Configuration

Almost everything can be tuned:

Common settings live in config/felled-common.toml.

Client settings live in config/felled-client.toml.
