Simple tree harvester
by Basedfloppa
Simple tree harvester lets a player chop down an entire tree in one action by breaking a single log with an axe while sneaking.
What it does
Breaking one log while sneaking triggers the whole tree to come down. The mod detects the remaining trunk and foliage, breaks them cleanly, and sends the dropped items to the player. Limits on the number of logs and foliage blocks, the horizontal and vertical extent and some item-placement behavior can all be changed in its settings.
Simple tree harvester is a Fabric mod for Minecraft 1.21.1 – 1.21.10, released under the MIT License as open source. Its source code is public. The server needs the mod, while a client may leave it out. Cloth Config API and Mod Menu are optional and add a settings screen.
Key features
Whole-tree felling
Breaking a single log while sneaking with an axe brings down the entire tree, trunk and foliage included.
Configurable limits
The maximum number of logs and foliage blocks, the horizontal and vertical reach, and whether foliage must be attached can all be set.
Player context kept
Each broken block is handled as if the player broke it, so enchantments, drops and advancements still apply.
Lag reduction option
An optional setting clumps dropped items at the origin point of the tree to reduce entity lag.
