TreeCapitator Lite
by adamjaroui23
TreeCapitator Lite is a Fabric mod that makes breaking one log cut down the whole tree above it.
What it does
Breaking a single log of a tree removes the entire tree, trunk and branches, in one action. The mod detects full trees, including trunks, branches and optional leaves, even when the shape is complex. Hold an axe to chop; sneaking turns the behavior off, so a single log can still be broken normally when needed. Creative mode is disabled to avoid accidents.
The mod is lightweight and avoids extra rendering, so it adds little load on the server. It runs on the server alone: clients do not need it, and players join a server that runs it without installing anything. The required dependency is Fabric API, and the mod is published for Fabric across 15 release versions, 1.21 – 26.1.2, with 1.0.1 for 1.21.11 as the latest file.
Key features
Whole-tree felling
A single log triggers removal of the connected trunk and branches, so a tree falls with one break.
Tree shape detection
The detection covers trunks, branches and optional leaves, including trees with complex shapes.
Configurable behavior
Options govern which tool is needed, how sneaking acts, the largest tree size handled, and the tool wear per tree.
Sneak to break single logs
Sneaking disables the feature, so a single log can be broken normally when needed.
