About this Mod

TimberTweak

Is a mod adding a new way to chop trees and, by extension, new shapes for log blocks.
It is a Fabric mod running with Fabric API in 1.20.4.

The main goal is to make the survival game a bit more realistic by making a tree log taking multiple "damages"/ break before being able to get the block.

Tree getting chopped

The player's direction when chopping the log will make the log reduce its thickness in the same direction.

Tree getting chopped, log cut is facing differently

It means this mod handles all six possible directions when chopping a log. (up, down, east, west, south, north)

Each log block has 4 thicknesses (from full block to one quarter of a block).
Please note that the tool is only damaged once, at the final thickness.

Examples of overworld logs with thicknesses differences

Some examples of chopped logs

You can also replace the top log texture to the normal wood texture by simply clicking on the block while sneaking with empty hand.

Same overworld logs with thicknesses, alternative textures

Same examples of chopped logs than previously, but with replaced textures

Decoration feature

Moreover, with a bit of creativity, you can use this new way of sculpting log blocks to make new decorations purposes, such as wall, roof, small alley, stairs or simply adding more 3D to a building.

Use of shaped logs as leaves border-wall

A little woody-border for leaves !

Tree with logs thicknesses differences, look like roots.

Well built using the thickness features to make it less blocky

A Well built using various thicknesses for the bottom part, making it less "blocky", and also for the roof.

MISC

  • A silk touch enchanted axe will make any log block instantly destroyed, like in the vanilla game.
  • All overworld log block is supporting TimberTweak.
  • Tool is only damaged once, at the final thickness.

If you encounter textures errors, shapes errors, or bugs, please let me know so I can fix them quickly.
It is the first version of this mod, so mistakes could occur.

Roadmap & Notes

Please feel free to download it and try it. You can also provide me your feedbacks to help me enhance this mod. It gives me motivation :)

Ideas for updates :

  • Add the blocks shapes in creative inventory.
  • Make props supported on the shapes blocks (such as flower pot, torches...)
  • Anything you could suggests me.
