How to Fell Trees and Harvest Wood

Chopping Down Whole Trees

Dynamic trees do not leave floating logs when harvested. Instead of breaking every individual wood block, use an axe to chop the bottom trunk block at the base of the tree. Once that block breaks, the entire tree will fall over with a falling animation, custom sound effects, and leaf particles. The collapsed tree will drop standard vanilla logs and sticks.

Maximizing Yields and Canopy Movement

You can optimize your harvesting and navigate dynamic forests using specific tools and movement mechanics:

• Log Yields: Chop trees with an axe enchanted with Fortune to increase the number of vanilla logs dropped when the tree falls.
• Collecting Foliage: Use shears on leaf blocks to collect standard sheared leaves.
• Climbing Branches: You do not need to build scaffolding to reach the canopy. Thin branches function like ladders, allowing you to climb straight up into the treetops.
• Leaf Cushions: Walking across leaves causes you to sink slightly and move slowly. However, landing on leaves completely absorbs fall damage, breaking the leaf blocks beneath you upon impact.
