Please Chop

Please Chop is a NeoForge mod that adds a lumberjack workstation and a LUMBERJACK villager profession.

The mod stays close to vanilla where it can:

workstation blocks are normal villager job sites
villagers keep normal profession levels and trading
the workstation block entity owns the custom forestry runtime instead of replacing the villager AI with a generic framework

Features

One lumberjack workstation variant per overworld wood family:
- oak
- spruce
- birch
- jungle
- acacia
- dark oak
- mangrove
- cherry
A LUMBERJACK villager profession tied to those workstations.
Manual and autonomous tree chopping.
Tree detection for:
- normal single-trunk trees
- large spruce
- large jungle
- dark oak
Replant tracking:
- trees are queued for replanting as soon as chopping finishes
- successful immediate planting during lingering removes the queued site
- queued sites are retried later when the villager has the right saplings
Site scavenging for leftover tree drops.
Workstation-specific trade specialization:
- the villager's trade wood type follows the workstation it is currently assigned to
- chopping and replanting still work for any supported tree type
Debug chat and debug world overlays, disabled by default.

The workstation block entity is the main runtime owner.

At a high level:

The villager stays a normal villager:

Lumberjack trades are specialization-aware and level-based.

Examples:

level 1:
- sells matching logs
- sells matching saplings
- oak lumberjacks also sell apples
- buys stone axes
- buys bread
level 2:
- sells stripped logs
- sells leaves
- buys carrots and baked potatoes
level 3:
- sells sticks
- sells species extras where applicable
- buys iron axes
level 4-5:
- very low chance of selling enchanted axes

The specialization is reset from the villager's current workstation, not from the last item it chopped.

The mod uses NeoForge's built-in config screen.

Current common config options:

Open Mods -> Please Chop -> Config to change them.

./gradlew runClient
./gradlew build

Tree detection is intentionally conservative. The mod prefers rejecting ambiguous shapes over harvesting player builds.
Replanting is queue-based. If the villager does not have the right sapling yet, the site stays queued.

Unless otherwise noted, please expect that:
