TreeMiner

by NightML Studios

TreeMiner lets a player break a whole tree by mining one of its logs, with the rest of the trunk and the leaves coming down in the same action.

FabricForgeNeoForgeQuiltServer required, client optionalCC0 1.0 Universal1.21 – 26.1.2

What it does

When a player breaks a log with an axe in hand, the mod removes the connected logs of the same tree in one pass. Leaves that lose their support are then cleared quickly, so the tree disappears without leftover foliage. Trees take a long time to clear by hand, and this shortens that work to a single break.

The mod is a server-side mechanic: the server needs it, and players may add it on the client, but they join without it. Only the logs and leaves of the trees it recognizes are affected. Modded leaves are not handled yet, so trees from other mods may be only partly cleared. The mod is published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, across 15 release versions 1.21 – 26.1.2, under the CC0 1.0 Universal license, which is not open source.

Optional support is listed for Autumnity, Ecologics, Environmental, Missing Trees, MoreTrees, Silverwood Trees and Whisperleaf Trees. Their trees follow the same rules as vanilla wood where the mod is compatible.

Key features

  1. Tree vein mining

    Breaking one log removes the connected logs of the same tree, following the trunk and branches.

  2. Fast leaf decay

    Leaves left without support decay quickly after the trunk is removed, so no foliage is left hanging.

  3. Axe-based activation

    The effect starts only when the player breaks a log while holding an axe.

  4. Vanilla and compatible wood

    Vanilla wood types and some mod trees from supported compatibility mods are handled.

Use cases

Who it’s for: Players and server owners who spend much time chopping trees. Since the mod is a server-side mechanic, a server owner can install it and players join without the mod.

How it compares

Full comparison

Fast Leaf Decay is a separate mod that only speeds leaf decay, and it is open source under the MIT License for 26.2 – 26.3, while TreeMiner also removes logs and is not open source. Instant Leaf Decay is a Fabric-only option for 1.20 – 26.1.2 under All rights reserved, so it does not cover the trunk. Simple Ore Miner is server-side only and works on Fabric and NeoForge for 1.21.3 – 26.3, but it mines ore rather than trees.

Questions

Does TreeMiner need to be installed on the client?

No. The server must run it, while players may leave it out.

Which loaders can run TreeMiner?

Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt all have files, with 5.0.0 for 26.1.2 as the latest build for each loader.

Do modded trees get cleared by TreeMiner?

Modded leaves are not handled yet, and compatibility covers only some mod trees, so results on other tree types vary.

There was previously an issue with the mod, but it has finally been thoroughly gone through, and should now work perfectly. Thank you all for your patience.
