MeLopzeed's TreeChopper
by MeLopzeed
MeLopzeed's TreeChopper lets a player break a whole tree by cutting one of its logs while sneaking, and the sweep works through every connected log of the same type.
What it does
Breaking a naturally generated tree with an axe starts a sweep. Starting from the broken log, the sweep searches outward for connected logs of the same type and removes them from the bottom upward, with a sequential animation, an escalating axe sound and particles for the sweep attack, the falling logs and the leaves that decay afterwards. Connected leaves crumble automatically once the logs are gone, and a sapling of the correct type is replanted at the base of the tree.
A placement tracking system tells natural trees apart from structures players have built. Any block a player has placed is tracked and left out of the sweep, and isolated logs without connected leaves are ignored, so only real trees are chopped.
TreeChopper is a server-side only mod, so players join without installing anything. It runs on Fabric for Minecraft 26.2 and requires Fabric API and Java 25. The code is under the MIT License and is open source, and the source code is public.
Key features
Whole-tree chopping
Sneak and break one log of a natural tree, and the rest of the connected logs are removed in sequence.
Sweep animation and sound
Logs fall from the bottom upward with an escalating axe sound and particle effects during the sweep and decay.
Automatic sapling replanting
After the tree is cleared, a sapling of the correct type is placed at the base of the trunk.
Player-built protection
Any block a player has placed is tracked and left out of the sweep, so houses and other builds stay intact.
