Falling Trees By LukeMCPE
by LukeMCPE
Falling Trees by LukeMCPE lets an axe fell an entire tree in one strike, with the blocks breaking in a random order.
What it does
When a player breaks the lowest log of a tree with an axe, the whole tree comes down within about two seconds. Blocks break in a random sequence with sounds and particle effects, and the loot is collected as if each block had been broken by hand, including wood, saplings, apples and sticks. The mod is a Forge tree-felling mod that changes how trees are cleared in vanilla play and in large modpacks alike.
Holding Shift while breaking a block turns the feature off, so precise block gathering still works. Each felled tree costs only one point of tool durability regardless of its size. The mod works with most modded trees and biomes, including those from Biomes O' Plenty, Forestry and Thaumcraft. Tree size is capped at 600 blocks by default, with an 800-block option in the config to keep performance steady on low-end systems.
Installation covers the server and each player's game. Falling Trees is published for Forge only, for 1.12.2 and 1.20.1, with 1.3.0 for 1.20.1 as the latest file. The code is not open source, and the mod is released under All rights reserved.
Key features
One-strike felling
Breaking the base of a tree with an axe brings the whole tree down within about two seconds.
Random break order
Logs break in a random order with sounds and particles, so the fall looks less uniform than a block-by-block clear.
Loot from every block
Wood, saplings, apples and sticks drop as if each block were broken manually.
Shift to gather precisely
Holding Shift disables the feature, so single blocks can still be gathered one at a time.
Size limit in the config
A block cap of 600 by default, or 800 in the config, keeps large trees from slowing the game.
Compatibility
Latest build for each game version and loader.
Only full game releases are shown. This mod publishes no snapshot builds.
Use cases
Clearing land quickly
Players clearing forest for a base or farm can remove trees with one strike each.
Modpacks with many tree mods
Because it supports most modded trees, it suits packs that add many tree types.
Who it’s for: The mod suits players who clear trees often, in vanilla worlds or in large modpacks, and server owners who want fewer slow tree removals. It is not aimed at precise tree harvesting, which Shift still allows.
