Fox Falling Trees

What Was Fixed and Optimized
•
Mining Fatigue Removal:
◦
Removed the persistent Mining Fatigue status effect previously applied during tree harvesting. Mining time is now calculated dynamically without inflicting negative potion debuffs on players.
•
Building and Structure Protection:
◦
Implemented natural foliage checks before triggering full tree felling. Player-placed logs, wooden houses, and decorative structures are safe from accidental mass destruction.
•
Axe Durability Safeguard:
◦
The number of simultaneously harvested wood blocks is strictly limited by the remaining durability of the player's tool. Axes will not drop below zero durability or shatter unexpectedly.
•
Duplication and Loop Prevention:
◦
Added recursive execution guards to prevent duplicated block-break events and ensure safe, legitimate resource drops.
•
Workspace and Build Cleanup:
◦
Cleaned up legacy duplicates and obsolete files from the project.
◦
Corrected automated build pipeline action versions to stable releases.
◦
Removed outdated and incompatible physics engine dependencies to maintain support for modern game releases.
New Features and Mechanics
•
Tree-Falling Physics and Visual Animation:
◦
Trees no longer vanish instantly upon breaking the root block. Felling a tree now triggers a physics-based animation where the entire trunk and canopy tilt in the direction the player is facing (from 0° to 90°) with realistic gravitational acceleration.
◦
When the tree hits the ground, it plays wood-shattering sound effects, emits destruction particles, and spawns all harvested item drops at the impact location.
•
Voxel Mesh Client Rendering:
◦
Custom client rendering dynamically transforms and draws every wood and leaf block of the falling tree structure in real time.
◦
Full partial-tick frame interpolation ensures high frame rates and smooth visuals on both low-end and high-end hardware.
•
Network Synchronization:
◦
The server automatically synchronizes the structure, block states, and trajectory of falling trees with all nearby players inside tracking distance.
•
Proportional Harvesting Time:
◦
Breaking speed scales proportionally with the total amount of wood in the tree. Chopping a whole tree takes the exact same total time as mining each block individually, preserving gameplay balance.
•
In-Game Configuration:
◦
Added custom configuration options for maximum log limits, leaf detection radius, physics toggles, speed multipliers, and impulse force.
•
Release Version Bump:
◦
Updated version targeting and metadata to 1.0.1 across both server and client environments.
