Yapi: AutoBark
by Y221
Yapi: AutoBark is a Forge server mod that generates cutting-board bark recipes for wood and bark blocks from other mods.
What it does
On startup the mod scans the loaded blocks and finds every wooden variant that a player can strip with an axe, including logs, wood blocks, bark blocks and stripped blocks from modded wood sets. For each one it writes a matching cutting-board recipe that produces tree bark, so a cutting board turns those blocks into bark with a tool in the offhand.
The recipes are built at runtime as a datapack that tracks the mods currently installed, so no wood mod has to add its own entries and no per-mod integration is needed. The generated datapacks are stored in the world so they can be inspected. The mod uses the axe-stripping registry of Minecraft and infers valid mappings from it, which lets it cover most modded wood sets. It is server-side only, so players join without installing anything.
Yapi: AutoBark is built for Forge 1.20.1 modpacks that use a cutting-board system for bark. Its files cover only 1.20.1, the latest being 1.0.9 for 1.20.1, published on 2026-05-28. The code is not open source, and the mod is released under All rights reserved.
