Tired of having to chop down trees manually? Welcome to my world. Luckily my world has a knack for 'innovation' if I dare call it that. Introducing potted farms. No more tree punching. Build potted farms that harvest whatever you placed in the clay pot. Just place two hoppers, an item frame with an axe of your choice in it, and a pot with your sapling of choice. Different axes have different cooldowns.

Wood: 30s
Stone: 25s
Iron: 20s
Diamond: 15s
Netherite: 10s
Gold: 5s

The axe used in the pots will lose durability as it harvests. The item will never be destroyed though. Whenever the axe has 1 durability left, it goes into the hopper where all your loot goes to save the item. Certain farms such as bamboo, dead bush, and cactus don't reduce your tools durability! Be sure to use a golden axe on those farms for maximum efficiency. You can enchant the axe with unbreaking to have it last longer or mending to not lose durability at all. Speaking of enchants, you can also utilize silk touch to get leaves instead of saplings along with the logs.

A lot of care was put into making this vanilla. As such (dark) oak trees have a small chance to harvest an apple instead of a log/stick/sapling. Mushrooms have a 33% chance to harvest a single shroom. Mimicking the drop averages of giant mushrooms. Or you can silk touch them with the enchant. Crimson fungus specifically has weeping vines. Warped fungus and crimson fungus both harvest shroomlights. Jungle trees can also harvest cocoa beans and vines. Mangrove may harvest roots, moss carpet, and vines.

How to build one

Place a hopper down with an item frame on top of it holding an axe of your choice. Then place up to 4 hoppers going into that hopper with pots on them holding the sapling of choice.

Building the farm

You can upgrade the farm by adding more hoppers that go into the main hopper (that has the axe /item frame).
