Tree Vein Miner
by quillphen
Tree Vein Miner is a server-side datapack that breaks a whole tree when a player crouches and breaks one of its logs.
What it does
Breaking a single log while crouching removes the connected logs and leaves of the tree. The mod is delivered as a datapack and runs on loaders Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, with files for game versions 1.16 – 26.3. The server must run it, while players can install it or leave it out, so either side works without the other needing it. The code is released under the GNU Affero General Public License v3.0 only, and the project is not open source.
Key features
Whole-tree removal
One log broken while crouching removes the rest of the tree, logs and leaves together.
Crouch activation
The effect only starts when the player is sneaking, so normal breaking of trees is unchanged.
Datapack delivery
The logic is packaged as a datapack that loads without extra mod code on the server.
