Simple Tree Capitator
by Aeshea Mods
Simple Tree Capitator lets a player who breaks one log with an axe cut down the rest of the connected tree in the same action.
What it does
Breaking a single log with an axe removes every log connected to it, so a whole tree comes down in one swing. A key toggles the behavior off when the player wants to cut only one block.
Leaves decay quickly once a tree has been cut, and natural leaves still drop saplings, sticks and apples as usual. Leaves that a player placed and marked as persistent are kept. Simple Tree Capitator requires Fabric API, and it is licensed under the MIT License but is not open source. Its environment is client and server, so the server and every player need the mod, and files exist for 26.1 – 26.2 with the latest build 1.0.2 for 26.2.
Key features
Connected log removal
Breaking one log with an axe also removes the logs connected above and beside it, so the tree is cleared at once.
Toggle key
Pressing B switches the tree capitating behavior off, so a single log can still be cut on its own.
Log tag detection
Vanilla log and stem types are recognized through Minecraft's log tags, including nether stems.
Fast leaf decay
Leaves disappear quickly after a tree is cut, while natural leaves keep their usual saplings, sticks and apple drops.

Use cases
Clearing forests
A player clearing a large area of trees can fell each one with a single axe strike instead of breaking every log.
Multiplayer servers
Server owners who run it on a shared world install the mod on the server and on each client.
Who it’s for: Players who clear trees often in survival or creative worlds, and server owners who want the same tree felling on a multiplayer server.
How it compares
ChopChop is server-side only, open source under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only, and published for Fabric on 26.1 – 26.3. LemmeCutTrees is also server-side only and open source, under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later, with a single Fabric file for 26.1.2. TreeChopMod runs on client and server, is open source under the MIT License, and covers 1.21.11 – 26.3, so it works on a wider range of versions than Simple Tree Capitator.
