Simple Tree Capitator

Simple Tree Capitator

Simple Tree Capitator is a lightweight Fabric mod that makes cutting down trees faster and easier.

When enabled, breaking one log with an axe will automatically break the connected logs in the tree. It also includes fast leaf decay, so leaves disappear quickly after the tree is cut while still allowing natural drops like saplings, sticks, and apples.

Features

• Toggle tree capitating on and off with the B key
• Break one log with an axe to cut connected tree logs
• Requires an axe to activate
• Supports vanilla logs and stems using Minecraft log tags
• Works with normal trees, large trees, jungle branches, and nether stems
• Fast leaf decay after cutting a tree
• Natural leaves can still drop saplings, sticks, and apples
• Player-placed persistent leaves are protected
• Includes safety limits to help prevent lag
• Works in singleplayer
• Works on multiplayer servers when installed on both client and server
