OreTree
by JakeRowe19
OreTree lets one axe swing fell an entire tree and one pickaxe swing clear a whole ore vein, for players who want to skip repetitive harvesting.
What it does
Chopping a tree block with an axe automatically chops the connected tree blocks, and breaking an ore block with a pickaxe removes the whole vein. After a tree is chopped, a sapling of the same type is planted again. Harvested ore and wood are stacked together into single stacks, which keeps inventories tidy. Blocks placed by hand by a player are destroyed in the same way, so the feature cannot be abused for free wood or ore.
The maximum number of blocks a single chop or break removes can be set in the configuration. Support covers common axes and pickaxes from other mods, and the mod detects saplings and trees added by other mods. OreTree is a Forge mod for 1.19.2 – 1.20.1 and runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. No required dependency is listed for Forge.
