Server Tree Feller

Server-side tree felling for Minecraft — break the bottom of a tree and the rest comes down with it.

A lightweight, server-side take on TreeCapitator / Timber / Lumberjack-style tree chopping — with nothing to install on the client.

Originally built for Forge 1.12.2, now forked across the most popular modded versions — from 1.7.10 all the way to 26.2 — on Forge, NeoForge, Fabric, and Quilt.

Drop the jar in your mods folder, restart, and you're done.

How it works

• Sneak and break a log to fell the whole tree. A normal (non-sneak) break behaves like vanilla, so you won't drop a tree by accident.
• Logs that players place are remembered and never felled, so a tree growing up against your house won't take the walls with it. This is kept across restarts.
• Trees are removed a few logs at a time, from the bottom up, so a large tree doesn't lag the server or your game.
• Detects modded logs automatically — through the Ore Dictionary on the classic versions (1.7.10, 1.12.2) and the #minecraft:logs block tag on modern ones.

No config files, no extra items or blocks. Also compatible for Singleplayer. (Forge/NeoForge always; the Fabric builds are server-and-singleplayer enabled, and also load on Quilt).

Builds

The Fabric and Quilt builds need the Fabric API.
