Fabric Tree Chopper
Fabric Tree Chopper changes how trees are cut down, with options for chopping one block at a time or the whole trunk at once.
What it does
The mod makes felling trees easier and more realistic. Once a log is broken, the connected logs above it can be chopped in one action, and the choice of how the chop behaves is left to the player through the mod's settings. Logs that touch natural leaves are selected by the mod, while houses and other player-built structures are not affected by the chopping.
Chopping can be set to break the axe only once per tree, or to damage it for each block that comes down. A player can also choose to wait for the whole tree to finish breaking before the axe takes its wear. Larger trees take longer to chop, and sneaking can turn off the extra effects, which lets a player cut a single log by hand.
Either side can run the mod, and neither needs it. Fabric Tree Chopper needs Fabric API and is released under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only, making it open source. Files exist for Fabric and Quilt, covering 1.19, 1.19.1 and 1.19.2, with the latest build 0.8.10 for 1.19.2 from 2022-10-12.
Key features
One-time or per-block axe wear
The axe can be damaged once when a tree is broken, or once for every block that comes down.
Chop after the tree breaks
An option delays the chop until every connected block has broken, so the tree falls in one go.
Leaf-aware log selection
Logs touching natural leaves are picked up, while player-built houses are left as they are.
Sneak to disable extras
Sneaking switches the extra chopping effects off, so a single log can be cut normally.
