How to Chop Down Whole Trees at Once

Felling the Tree

Diggus Maximus Reborn simplifies wood gathering by letting you bring down an entire tree by cutting just a single block. Instead of building scaffolding or towering up to reach high canopy logs, you can clear the tree directly from ground level.

Equip an axe and position yourself near the base of the tree. Press and hold the ~ key on your keyboard. Aim at the bottommost log block of the trunk. Keep holding the ~ key while breaking the log with your axe.

Collecting Dropped Logs

As soon as the targeted log block breaks, the excavation mechanic chains upward and outward through all connected log blocks that share the same type. The entire trunk and its attached branches will instantly break and drop as items around the base of the tree.

Be mindful of your axe's condition when harvesting especially tall or thick trees. The mod fully respects tool durability, meaning your axe loses durability for every log broken in the chain. If your axe does not have enough durability remaining, it will break during the process.
