TreeCapitator Mod Wiki & Guide
TreeCapitator lets you fell an entire tree in one go by chopping a single log, instead of breaking each block by hand.
Overview
TreeCapitator is a utility mod that changes how trees are harvested. When you break the bottom log of a tree with an appropriate tool, the mod detects the connected logs above and fells the whole trunk at once, dropping all of the wood as if you had broken each block individually. This removes the tedious block-by-block chopping of tall trees and the awkward floating-log clean-up that normally follows.
The mod ships in two builds with slightly different capabilities. The ModLoader version works with vanilla trees only. The Forge version uses the FML CoreMod framework, which lets it fell trees added by other mods without requiring any edits to the vanilla Minecraft jar beyond installing Forge. The Forge build can also scan the Forge Ore Dictionary to automatically discover and register tree-related blocks that have not been configured by hand, so many modded trees work out of the box.
TreeCapitator is purely a harvesting helper: it adds no new blocks, items, mobs, or recipes. All of its behavior is driven by configuration, letting server owners and players decide which logs count as trees, how leaves are handled, and how the fell-the-whole-tree action affects break speed and game balance.
