FancyTreeCutting
by ErroPummi
FancyTreeCutting, a Fabric utility, chops down a whole tree when a player breaks one of its logs, and the mod is written for Fabric API with a log-cutting system.
What it does
Breaking the trunk of a tree removes the whole structure at once: the logs above the cut come down through the normal loot process, so drops, Silk Touch and Fortune behave as they do for ordinary blocks. Leaves are handled as part of the tree, and the mod keeps the leaf tables working without the usual leaf glitch.
Vanilla trees, including the nether varieties, are covered. Supported woods are listed in the mod's configuration, and a tree's size affects how the felling works, so large trunks take longer to fall than small ones. Settings are changed through commands rather than a config file. The mod needs Fabric API, and its files are published for Fabric only, across the 1.21.1 and 26.x game versions.
Files target game versions 1.21.1 – 26.2, with 0.4.0 for 26.2 as the latest build. The code is open source under the MIT License, and both the source code and the issue tracker are public. Client and server is its environment, so the server and every player need the mod.
Key features
Whole-tree felling
Breaking the trunk fells the connected logs above the cut in one action, with the leaves handled alongside.
Normal loot handling
Dropped logs and leaves go through the standard loot tables, so Silk Touch and Fortune apply as usual.
Nether tree support
Vanilla trees from the Overworld and the Nether are both covered by the chopping system.
Command-based configuration
Supported woods and other settings are changed with commands instead of editing a file by hand.

Use cases
Who it’s for: Players who want to fell whole trees in one action, and server owners who run Fabric servers and need trees cleared quickly. The mod needs Fabric API and is run on both sides.
How it compares
TreeFell is the closest option on the same loader, a Fabric mod for 26.2 with a server-required, client-optional environment under the MIT License. Chopt is a Fabric mod for 1.20.1 – 26.3 that both sides run, also under the MIT License. LemmeCutTrees is a server-side Fabric mod for 26.1.2 under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later, so players join without it.

What the author says
A fast but fancy way to chop down trees, the notch is carved into the log with block geometry, not a texture. Once the trunk is through, everything above the cut comes down and drops through the normal loot tables, so Silk Touch and Fortune keep working (inf leaf glitch).
