Falling tree
Falling tree lets a player fell a whole tree by breaking one log, with physics-based falling animations and limits on how many logs and leaves break at once.
What it does
Breaking the base of a tree starts a falling animation for the connected logs, and the leaves can break automatically after the trunk comes down. The mod is a realistic tree-cutting datapack, so it runs as a data pack on the server, and it is published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt.
The server owner decides the scope: a sneak-cut option can require crouching before trees fall, the falling animation can be turned off, and each felling is capped at 50, 100 or 200 logs. A separate leaf limit of 100, 200 or 500 blocks controls how many leaves break. Settings are opened from the menu function falling tree:settings/menu.
The server must run the mod, while players may add it on their own to get the falling animation locally. Files exist for 1.21.6 – 26.2, and the latest build for every loader is v1.0+mod for 26.2, released on 2026-06-23 in the beta channel. The code is not open source and is released under All rights reserved, with a public source repository and issue tracker.
Key features
Whole-tree felling
Breaking one log brings down the connected trunk, so players do not need to clear each log by hand.
Physics falling animation
Felled trees fall with a physics-based animation, which can be switched on or off in the settings.
Log and leaf limits
A maximum of 50, 100 or 200 logs break per felling, and 100, 200 or 500 leaves break, set by the server owner.
Sneak cutting
An option requires the player to be sneaking before trees fall, which default-off play leaves unchanged.
Drops from felled trees
Felled trees can drop saplings at about 5 percent, sticks at 2 percent, apples from oak and dark oak trees at 0.5 percent, and mangrove propagules from mangrove trees.
