Description from the author on Modrinth

This mod will change the way you break trees. 4 modes are available:

  • Instantaneous: Break one log and the whole tree will fall
  • Shift down: Break a block and the log will slowly shift down as you cut it (good if you don't want to "cheat" too much but are lazy to go cut top log blocks 😛)
  • Fall items: Break one log and the whole tree will fall with an animation
  • Fall blocks: Break one log and the whole tree will fall on the floor with an animation

Several options are available in the config file:

  • Customize what is considered as a tree (log blocks & leave blocks).
  • Customize what tools can be used (add more axes, allow everything, ...).
  • Turn leaf breaking on/off.
  • Option to disable the effect of the mod by sneaking (can be reversed).
  • Change speed depending on the tree size.
  • Damage tools or not (can set it to break the tool by the amount of blocks there were in the tree).
  • Let tools at 1 durability if it's going to break.

Check out the wiki for some more information.


  • For Fabric users, Fabric API is required.
  • For Neoforge/Forge users, Cloth Config API is optional on the client and allows you to have a config GUI in game.

Starting Minecraft 1.21, enchantments needs to be added separately through a datapack available here.

NOTE: On servers this mod can be server-side only, client isn't required (except if you use the change speed feature and/or enchants configurations).
