Physical Falling Trees
by Antoha256M
Physical Falling Trees makes cut trees topple in a direction set by their weight, so a felled tree can crash onto the player.
What it does
When a tree is cut, its trunk falls toward the heavier side. If the center of gravity sits over the middle of the trunk, the tree falls toward the player instead. The heavier side is worked out from relative weights for the four cardinal directions: blocks that deform the tree count as 1, and all other blocks count as 3.
The falling tree deals damage to entities it hits, scaled to how fast it is falling. If a cut tree holds bees in its nest, the bees become angry at the player. The code is released under the Creative Commons Attribution Non Commercial No Derivatives 4.0 license and is not open source. It runs on the server and is published for Fabric, NeoForge and Quilt, plus a Data pack platform, for 24 release versions 1.19.4 – 26.2, with snapshot builds also published.

Server events

Who it’s for: Players who want trees to fall physically on a Fabric, NeoForge or Quilt server, and server owners who want the effect for everyone on their world.
