[ $ ] Falling Tree
by NotDollar
[ $ ] Falling Tree changes how chopped Minecraft trees behave, letting them topple and settle under physics instead of vanishing block by block.
What it does
When a tree is cut, its trunk and branches are simulated as falling bodies that move through water and come to rest on solid ground at their final position. Settled trees are not forced onto the grid, and the mod removes them automatically once they have stopped. Fallen trunks and branches stay harvestable, and separated sections can move and drop independently.
The physics runs on the Sable physics simulation, which must be installed alongside the mod on Fabric for 1.21.1. Impact particles can be configured as well. The environment is client and server, so the server and every player need the mod, and the mod is released under the MIT License without being open source.
Key features
Natural tree falling
Chopped trees topple with physical motion instead of disappearing block by block.
Water-aware movement
Falling trees keep their physics active while they move through water.
Settling on solid ground
A fallen tree comes to rest in a natural final position on solid ground, not snapped to the grid.
Harvestable fallen trees
Fallen trunks and branches can still be collected after they land.
Independent sections
Separated branches and trunk sections move and fall on their own.
Configurable behavior
Impact particles, stabilization times and automatic cleanup of settled trees can all be adjusted.

How it compares
Tree Falling is a Fabric mod for 1.21.1 under All rights reserved, so its license differs and it is not open source. ExtraNature is a Fabric mod for 1.21 that runs as client and server and is released under the MIT License, but it is not open source. MinLog covers Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt for 1.20.5 – 1.21.4 and is server required with the client optional.

What the author says
Falling Tree enhances Minecraft trees with immersive physics and more natural behavior. Trees fall dynamically when chopped, interact with the environment, and remain physically active while moving through water. Once a fallen tree reaches stable solid ground, it settles naturally in its final position instead of…
