TreeFeller

TreeFeller servers run survival with one key change: chopping a single log can drop the whole tree. Instead of clearing a trunk block by block, you break one log with an axe, often while sneaking or using a server-defined modifier, and the connected logs break in sequence. Wood stops being a time sink, which changes the first ten minutes more than anything else.

The loop stays vanilla at its core. You still bring the right tool, take durability, collect drops, and deal with limited inventory space. What TreeFeller changes is pacing: starter bases and shared utilities come online sooner, and the server’s attention moves faster toward exploration, nether trips, and multiplayer projects like towns, shops, roads, and communal farms.

Most setups add guardrails so it stays a convenience feature, not an infinite wood button. Common rules include only felling natural trees, requiring the bottom log, checking for leaves, and enforcing caps or cooldowns. In a busy world, that makes forests and public tree farms feel practical, while still punishing sloppy harvesting if you show up under-tooled or with a full inventory.

Does TreeFeller make survival too easy?

It smooths out early wood gathering, but it usually does not remove survival pressure. Tool durability, food, travel, inventory space, and progression gates still matter. The main difference is less repetitive chopping.

How do you activate TreeFeller on most servers?

Most servers tie it to breaking a log with an axe, sometimes requiring sneaking or a specific interaction. If it does not trigger, check /help or server tips, then verify you have the right tool and that the tree qualifies under the server’s rules.

Will it break my log builds or connected structures?

It depends on detection. Many servers restrict it to natural trees or require nearby leaves, which protects cabins and decorative beams. Less strict setups can treat any connected logs as one target, so harvesting near builds is risky.

How is durability handled when an entire tree falls?

Most implementations charge durability per log, or use an adjusted rate with caps, so dropping a tree still costs an axe over time. Servers that do not scale durability typically add limits to prevent deleting huge log stacks in one action.

Why do some trees not fall even when TreeFeller is enabled?

Common causes are log-count limits, missing tool requirements, the tree being player-placed, the trunk being part of a mixed structure, or failing a leaf check. Oversized or custom-style trees are also often capped or excluded.
