Tree Felling

On survival, you don't have to chop down a tree one log at a time. Just hit the trunk with an axe and the entire tree above the spot you hit will fall.

How It Works

• When you aim at a log while holding an axe, you immediately see what would fall – red dots appear on the logs, and the action bar displays the number of blocks.
• Everything above the cutting point falls. If you cut halfway up the trunk, the bottom part remains standing.
• If you chop down a tree at ground level, saplings are automatically replanted (for 2×2 trees, all four saplings).
• Saplings drop from leaves just like in vanilla Minecraft.
• Your axe loses durability for every log that falls.

What Cannot Be Felled

Tree felling only works on real trees with natural leaves. This prevents wooden houses and structures next to trees from falling:

• Trunks without leaves (or trees whose leaves you have removed) break one block at a time
• If a tree is next to a structure made of placed logs, it will not fall
• Oversized trees (over 1,000 logs) must be chopped down normally, one block at a time
• Bamboo cannot be felled
