FallingTree
Break down your trees by only cutting one piece of it
About this Mod
This mod will change the way you break trees. 4 modes are available:
- Instantaneous: Break one log and the whole tree will fall
- Shift down: Break a block and the log will slowly shift down as you cut it (good if you don't want to "cheat" too much but are lazy to go cut top log blocks 😛)
- Fall items: Break one log and the whole tree will fall with an animation
- Fall blocks: Break one log and the whole tree will fall on the floor with an animation


Several options are available in the config file:
- Customize what is considered as a tree (log blocks & leave blocks).
- Customize what tools can be used (add more axes, allow everything, ...).
- Turn leaf breaking on/off.
- Option to disable the effect of the mod by sneaking (can be reversed).
- Change speed depending on the tree size.
- Damage tools or not (can set it to break the tool by the amount of blocks there were in the tree).
- Let tools at 1 durability if it's going to break.
Check out the wiki for some more information.
- For Fabric users, Fabric API is required.
- For Neoforge/Forge users, Cloth Config API is optional on the client and allows you to have a config GUI in game.
NOTE: Starting Minecraft 1.21, enchantments needs to be added separately through a datapack available here.
NOTE: On servers this mod can be server-side only, client isn't required (except if you use the change speed feature and/or enchants configurations).

FallingTree server crashes on startup – what to do?
Most common cause: wrong fabric version or insufficient RAM. Check the server log (latest.log) for "OutOfMemoryError" or "Mixin" errors. With Mado Hosting: ensure at least 3 GB RAM is allocated and the loader matches the mod version (26.2). You can switch loaders with one click in the panel.
Is FallingTree compatible with fabric and forge and neoforge?
FallingTree officially supports fabric, forge, neoforge for Minecraft 26.2, 26.1.2, 26.1.1. Note: Forge and Fabric mods are NOT cross-compatible – pick one loader and stick with it. The Mado dashboard automatically detects incompatible loader combinations.
Server lagging with FallingTree – how to optimize performance?
Recommended RAM: 4 GB (per 8 players). Use /spark profiler to check if FallingTree consumes the most tick time. Common fixes: reduce server view-distance to 8-10, install "performant" or "starlight" as supplementary mods on Forge. With Mado Hosting, your server runs on NVMe SSDs with dedicated CPU cores for minimal latency.
