Chop Them Trees!
by grovus
Chop Them Trees! lets a player fell a whole tree by chopping its trunk in stages, with cracks showing progress on the wood.
What it does
Each tree needs a number of chops that depends on its size, so a tall tree takes more strikes than a small one. The mod tracks progress across the stages and shows visible cracking on the trunk while the chop continues. Breaking a log of the tree keeps the chopping progress going, so the tree comes down in a single sequence.
The mod detects trees that generate naturally in the world and works with vanilla trees as well as trees added by other mods. Most blocks placed by players are ignored, which keeps houses and other builds from being chopped by accident. Axes are supported, and sneak mining disables the chopping so blocks break normally when a player needs that.
The mod runs on the server side only, so players join without installing anything. It is published for NeoForge, with files for 1.21.1 and 1.21.8, and the latest file is 1.0 for 1.21.8. The code is not open source; the mod is released under All rights reserved.
Key features
Staged tree chopping
Chops are counted in stages, so a felled tree shows how far through the process it is.
Size-based chop count
The number of chops needed grows with the tree's size, with larger trees taking longer to fell.
Cracking progress
The trunk shows visible cracks that deepen with each chop, marking how close the tree is to falling.
Natural tree detection
Only naturally generated trees are chopped, and most player-built structures are left alone.

What the author says
Chop Them Trees! transforms tree chopping into a more satisfying and immersive experience. Instead of instantly felling an entire tree by breaking a single log, trees must be chopped through multiple stages before finally coming crashing down. Larger trees require more work than smaller ones, making wood gathering…
