Thizzy’z Tree Feller Plugin FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
How do I start using tree feller after installing it?
The plugin is active by default once installed. Simply chop down any log block with an axe, and the entire tree will fall. If nothing happens, use /treefeller on to enable it for your character, or check that you have the required permissions.
Why isn't my tree falling when I chop it?
First, verify tree feller is enabled for you with /treefeller toggle. Check that you're using an appropriate tool (usually an axe) and that the tree structure is recognized by the plugin. If issues persist, enable debug mode with /treefeller debug on to see detailed information about what the plugin detects.
Can I turn off tree feller for just myself?
Yes, use /treefeller off to disable it for your character only, or /treefeller toggle to switch it on and off. This doesn't affect other players or the server's global settings.
How do I add custom tree types to my server?
Use /treefeller config to open the in-game configuration menu, where you can auto-detect custom trees by chopping them down and letting the plugin learn their structure. The plugin will automatically identify the tree's features and save them as a new tree type.
What's the difference between individual tree detection and advanced structure detection?
Individual tree detection recognizes standard single-tree structures, while advanced structure detection can identify larger or more complex tree formations. The plugin uses advanced detection to handle trees that don't fit typical patterns.
Can I set different cooldowns for different tree types?
Yes, the plugin supports both global cooldowns and tool or tree-based cooldowns. Configure these in the configuration file to customize how long players must wait between felling trees of specific types or with specific tools.
How do I control who can use tree feller on my server?
Use the customizable permissions system to grant or deny access per player or group. Permissions can be set globally or configured differently for each tree type or tool, giving you fine-grained control over who can fell trees.
Does tree feller cause lag or performance issues?
The plugin is designed to be efficient, but felling very large trees or many trees simultaneously may impact performance depending on your server's resources. Monitor performance with /treefeller debug on and adjust your configuration if needed.
What happens when a tree falls—do I get all the drops?
When a tree falls, all log and leaf blocks are processed according to the plugin's settings. The exact behavior (drops, animation, effects) depends on your server's configuration, which may include particles, sounds, or explosions.
How do I reload the configuration without restarting the server?
Use /treefeller reload (requires treefeller.reload permission) to reload the configuration file instantly. This applies any changes you've made to tree types, cooldowns, permissions, or other settings without a server restart.
