Countered's Floating Tree Decay
by Countered
Countered's Floating Tree Decay makes chopped trees that lose their ground connection begin to decay, so the floating logs disappear over time.
What it does
Once a tree's logs no longer connect to the ground, they become floating blocks and start to decay until they vanish. The mod works with modded trees as well as vanilla ones, and it fixes the slow decay of chopped-down trees in an existing world. Players can set how fast decay runs, with the fastest setting as the default, and how long the wait lasts before decay starts.
The config also limits how large a tree can be and still count as decayable, and a compatibility option keeps structures built with logs from decaying by accident. Because existing worlds may contain trees that should stay, the author recommends a backup before installing the mod on a world already in use. Architectury API and MidnightLib are required dependencies. The mod runs on Fabric, Forge and NeoForge, is published for 1.20.1, 1.21.1, 1.21.11 and 26.1.2, and is released under the MIT License; it is not open source. The server must run it, while players may leave it out, so only the server side needs the mod.
Key features
Floating log decay
Logs that lose their ground connection turn into floating blocks and start to decay until they disappear.
Adjustable decay speed
The speed of decay can be changed in the config, with the fastest setting used by default.
Start delay
A configurable duration sets how long a disconnected tree waits before decay begins.
Tree size limit
A maximum block count decides which trees count as decayable, so very large trees can be excluded.
Existing world compatibility
An option keeps already built structures with logs from decaying accidentally in worlds that are already running.

What the author says
Tree Physics can create a lot of sublevels in your world or server, especially when people aren't breaking down trees completely. This causes lag and might even cause your server to crash!
