Timber!
by ianaduarte
With Timber!, cutting one log of a tree makes the whole tree fall down, and the logs and leaves break apart as they land.
What it does
Timber! changes how trees are felled. When a player breaks a log, the connected logs above it are checked, starting with the first log broken, and the tree is set to fall. Logs connect diagonally as well as straight up and down, so trees with slanted trunks come down in one piece. Players can sneak to keep normal single-block breaking, and the mod checks whether the tool used to cut the tree has the silk touch enchantment.
The mod is server-side only, so the server needs it and players join without installing anything. It runs on Fabric and Quilt. Files exist for 6 release versions, 1.21 – 26.1, with r2.0.0+26.1 as the latest Fabric file and r1.0.0+1.21 as the latest Quilt file. The license is All rights reserved, so the code is not open source. Public issues are tracked through the author's issue tracker.
Key features
Whole-tree felling
Breaking one log sends the connected logs and leaves of that tree down as falling blocks.
Diagonal log connections
Logs that touch diagonally count as part of the same tree, so irregular trunks are felled completely.
Sneak to disable
A player who sneaks while breaking a log cuts only that block, leaving the tree standing.
Silk touch handling
The tool used on the tree is checked for silk touch, which changes how the cut tree's blocks are collected.
Configurable tree size
The number of logs and the count of non-permanent leaves that can be felled together are set by ranges, from 2 to 512 logs and 1 to 1024 leaves.

Use cases
Who it’s for: Survival and adventure servers where players cut many trees and want fewer clicks per tree. Single-player worlds can use it too, since the mod only needs to run on the server side.
