Minecraft plugin TreeFeller

🔌 About the plugin TreeFeller

TreeFeller — is a Minecraft server plugin that allows fast, configurable tree harvesting by removing connected log blocks when a base log is broken.

🎯 Purpose

TreeFeller addresses the common QoL need on survival servers to harvest whole trees quickly without manual block-by-block chopping. The plugin reduces player time spent gathering wood while keeping gameplay predictable:

• Removes connected tree log blocks only (configurable list of block types).
• Minimal setup required — suitable for small to medium survival servers.

⚙ Main features

• Fast timber/tree felling that breaks connected logs when the player breaks a base log.
• Configurable tree block types (config option treeblocks).
• Config options for maximum tree size/height (maxTreeSize, maxTreeHeight).
• Tool damage behavior configurable (toolDamage key). Default: true.
• Lightweight, no external dependencies required (Java 8+).

🧩 Who is it for

TreeFeller is appropriate for server owners and admins running Paper/Spigot servers who want a simple, reliable timber mechanic. Useful for:

• Survival servers (vanilla‑like QoL)
• Small to medium communities
• Servers that prefer minimal, easily configurable plugins

🏗 Usage examples

• Players hit the bottom log of an oak tree and TreeFeller removes the connected trunk blocks up to configured limits.
• Administrators add custom wood types to treeblocks in config.yml to support custom world generators.
• Server operators disable per‑block tool damage via config for faster harvesting.

⚙ Installation

📥 Install

• Download the TreeFeller .jar from the official Spigot resource or the project's GitHub releases.
• Place the .jar into your server's plugins/ folder.
• Fully restart the server (do not use /reload).
• On first run the plugin will create its plugin folder and configuration.

📦 Dependencies

• No external dependencies reported in official sources. Requires Java 8+.
• The plugin is intended for Spigot/Paper (tested on versions 1.8 through 1.20; native target: 1.20).

🧾 Configuration

• TreeFeller generates a config file on first run (config.yml).
• Confirmed config keys (examples from official source):
  • activateonsneak: false
  • maxTreeSize: 120
  • maxTreeHeight: 26
  • toolDamage: true
  • treeblocks: [log, wood, stem, hyphae]
• No MySQL/SQLite support is documented in the official sources.

🧠 Additional information

Known conflicts

• Official sources do not list explicit plugin conflicts. As with any timber/vein‑type plugin, test interactions with other block‑breaking or tool‑damage plugins.
• The config exposes treeblocks so custom tree materials can be supported without code changes.

Limitations

• Only affects block types listed in treeblocks (configurable).
• Behavior and exact block detection are limited by server API and the configured scanning limits (maxTreeSize, maxTreeHeight).
• No official database support or built‑in cross‑server sync documented.

FAQ

1. Which Minecraft versions are supported?

• Official Spigot resource lists tested major versions 1.8 through 1.20 and marks native major version 1.20.

2. Does TreeFeller damage tools for every broken log?

3. Can I add custom wood types or modded trees?

• Yes — add the block identifiers to treeblocks in config.yml (confirmed in official config defaults).

4. Does TreeFeller require Vault/PlaceholderAPI/ProtocolLib?

• No such dependencies are listed in the official sources; the plugin is described as lightweight with no external dependencies.
