What it does

Chestnuts, pinecones, hickory nuts and acorns can be cut from matching trees with the Long Secateurs, a tool that must be used on the right block during its season. Some nuts can be roasted, and pine nuts come from pinecones processed with a knife. Each harvest has a chance to yield the nut. The mod runs on NeoForge for 1.21.1 and is needed on both client and server, since clients and servers both run it. It is released under the MIT License and is open source.

Have you ever wanted to know why you can not harvest chestnuts in tfc where the chestnut trees abound? Since I am a chowhound, I made this mod for those who have the same question.
