Saro´s Log Saver
by Sarocesch
Saro´s Log Saver lets players mark selected logs so an axe can no longer strip them, a safeguard for builds and forests on Forge.
What it does
Right-clicking a log with the Log Saver Tool protects that log, and right-clicking a protected log again removes the protection. Once protected, a log cannot be stripped with an axe, which keeps decorative builds and natural forests intact when tools are used nearby.
For larger work the tool has an area mode: a right-click on a second point without holding Shift protects every log inside the defined area, and Shift with a right-click removes protection from that area. The mod is built for builders, landscapers and forest managers who need to safeguard specific logs or whole regions.
Saro´s Log Saver runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. Files are published for Forge only, across eight release versions 1.16.5 – 26.3, with 1.0.2-forge-26.3 for 26.3 as the latest file. The mod is licensed under All rights reserved and is not open source.
Key features
Single-log protection
A right-click with the Log Saver Tool toggles protection on one log, and a second right-click clears it.
Stripping prevention
An axe leaves protected wood in its original form, so the bark stays on.
Area selection
Two points define a rectangle, and every log inside it is protected or unprotected in one action.
Color-coded outlines
Protected and selected blocks are outlined in colors, so the state of each log is visible while working.
Compatibility
Latest build for each game version and loader.
Only full game releases are shown. This mod publishes no snapshot builds.
Use cases
Decorative builds
Builders can protect the logs of a finished structure so later clearing or tool use does not strip them.
Managed forests
Forest managers can mark valuable trees across an area and leave the rest of the wood available for harvesting.
Who it’s for: The mod suits builders, landscapers and forest managers on single-player worlds and multiplayer servers who want to keep chosen wood from being stripped.
