Ren's Timber
by _ren
Ren's Timber makes felling a tree a single action: breaking the base log brings down the whole tree in one pass, with the logs collected.
What it does
The mod is a tree-falling mechanic that works from the base log upward. Breaking the bottom log of a vanilla tree removes the connected trunk and branches at once, so wood gathering takes less time in survival worlds and on multiplayer servers.
Ren's Timber relies on event-driven handling, so the falling happens when a tree is broken rather than through a constant background check. The author states it is built for Minecraft 1.21.X and targets low resource use. Installation needs Architectury API and Cloth Config API, which must be present alongside the mod on every loader it supports.
The mod is published for Fabric, NeoForge and Quilt from one shared codebase, and the environment is client and server, so servers and every player need it. Files cover 15 release versions 1.20.1 – 1.21.11, under All rights reserved.
Key features
Whole-tree felling
Breaking the base log of a vanilla tree removes the connected trunk and branches in one action, dropping the wood.
Event-driven falling
Trees fall when a block break event fires, so the logic does not run on every tick for every tree in the world.
Configurable settings
Options are edited through Cloth Config, which also shows the mod's settings screen in the game menu.
Mod Menu integration
On Fabric, the settings screen can be opened from the Mod Menu list of installed mods.

Use cases
Survival wood gathering
Players who collect large amounts of wood for building or crafting skip cutting each log of a tree by hand.
Multiplayer servers
Server owners can run the mod on a shared world so every player fells trees the same way, provided each client also has it.
Who it’s for: Players who want faster wood collection in vanilla worlds, and server owners who run a survival or adventure server on Fabric, NeoForge or Quilt for 1.21.1 or a newer release.
