Sturdy Trees FAQ

Sturdy Trees Mod makes hand-breaking logs a multi-step process to increase early game difficulty. Each log now requires multiple hits to break when using your bare hand, forcing you to either invest time or craft an axe.

Breaking a single log with your bare hand is a 5-6 step process, meaning you'll need to hit it multiple times before it drops. Using an axe bypasses this entirely and breaks logs normally.

Yes, axes are unaffected by the mod's changes. Breaking logs with an axe works exactly as it does in vanilla Minecraft, making axes the efficient choice for harvesting wood.

You'll need to hand-break logs layer by layer until you have enough wood to craft sticks and planks for an axe. Check the "Break Your First Log Without an Axe" guide for the step-by-step process.

Not without an axe—the mod specifically targets bare-hand log breaking. If you have access to creative mode or commands, you could spawn an axe, but the intended progression is to hand-break your first logs.

Sturdy Trees Mod only changes how logs break when using your bare hand. All other blocks and tools behave normally.

The mod targets vanilla log blocks, so modded trees may or may not be affected depending on whether they use standard log blocks. Check compatibility with specific tree mods you're using.

Sturdy Trees Mod is lightweight and only changes the breaking mechanics of logs, so it should have minimal impact on performance.

You can uninstall or remove the mod from your mods folder to disable it entirely, but the mod itself doesn't have per-world or per-player toggles.

Yes, the mod applies the 5-6 step breaking process to all log types when using your bare hand, whether oak, birch, spruce, or others.
