Tree Felling
Trees fall like sand, making them easier to fell.
About this Mod
Don't forget to say "Timber!"
Beware falling branches, heard they smite like an anvil.
Tree Felling is a small and lightweight mod which makes trees fall like sand and gravel when broken by a player. Trees generated by the world will not work if the world has been generated already. Though new trees via saplings will work without a new world.
To note, the forge version is lacking the features of:
- Working solely on trees.
- Falling logs hurting entities
