Fell
by PouffyDev
Fell is a NeoForge mod that makes breaking a tree's base bring down the whole trunk in one action, with configurable limits on what can fell.
What it does
Breaking a tree without crouching, with the correct tool, makes the entire tree break and collapse to one side. Blocks that are part of a tree, including its leaves, count toward the felled set, and extra leaves that lie beyond a distance limit are not removed. The behaviour resembles the saw from Create, so felling feels familiar to players who use that mod.
Which items may fell trees is set by a tag and a blacklist. Any item under the minecraft:axes tag always fells trees, and a separate blacklist lists items that never can. Axes enchanted with the Felling enchantment also fell trees, and the Global Axe Felling option applies the effect to every axe. A Disable Felling Enchantment setting stops items with that enchantment from felling, and Global Axe Felling can be bypassed where needed.
The mod is built for NeoForge 1.21.1 and runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. The public source code and issue tracker are available, but the project is not open source, and the license is All rights reserved.

What the author says
Breaking trees without crouching and whilst using the correct tool will cause the entire tree to break and collapse to the side. Similar to Create's Saw. Axes are enchantable with the Felling enchantment which allows them to fell trees if "Global Axe Felling" is disabled.
