Profet's Timber
Chopping down a forest in Minecraft is usually a slow, repetitive chore. You climb the trunk, break each block, and hope you do not miss a stray log floating in the canopy. Profet's Timber changes all of that. Chop one log from a natural tree, and the entire thing comes crashing down in a cartoon-style animation. It shivers, drops onto the stump, leans back with a creak, bends as it tips over, slams down, splats its crown, then pops apart log by log.
This is the kind of add-on that feels like it should have been in the base game all along. It is smooth at any frame rate, handles one tree at a time, and never touches your builds.
What Makes Profet's Timber Stand Out
The animation is the headline feature, but the details behind it are what keep players coming back. Every overworld tree is supported, including the massive 2×2 giants, and poplar trees on 26.3. When a tree falls, everything attached comes along: vines, cocoa, hanging moss, and snow.
Felling is smart about direction. Trees fall where it makes sense, away from you, or into open space when something is in the way. In a crowded forest, neighbouring trees keep their own logs and leaves. Logs you placed yourself are left alone, and so is anything without a leafy crown.
- Fair durability: the axe pays for the whole tree, Unbreaking included. A tree that would break your axe is not felled.
- Player choice: anyone can toggle the feature with /trigger timber.
- Sneak to take a single log instead of felling the tree.
- Operator menu via /function timber:settings for tree size, sneaking behaviour, drop location, axe requirement, durability, animation, and placed-log protection.
- Enchanted Timber turns felling into an axe enchantment you have to find first.
Supported Versions and Loaders
Profet's Timber is built for Minecraft Java 26.2 and 26.3. It ships in three flavours, and you should use only one of them at a time.
Data Pack
The vanilla data pack runs on the server only, so players can join with an unmodified game. To install it, drop the .zip into your world's datapacks folder and run /reload. Do not unzip it.
Mod
Prefer a modded setup? Grab the mod version for Fabric, Quilt, NeoForge, or Forge. This is the route most players take when they already run a mod loader.
Server Plugin
Server owners on Paper, Purpur, Spigot, or Bukkit can use the plugin build instead. It is available on Modrinth alongside the other versions.
If you want the simplest possible path, the foxygame.net launcher bundles Profet's Timber right into its add-on catalog, so you can add it to a compatible instance without hunting down the correct file yourself.
How to Install Profet's Timber
Installation depends on which version you choose, but the steps are straightforward.
- Data pack: place the .zip in your world's datapacks folder, then run /reload in-game.
- Mod: download Profet's Timber for your loader and drop it into the mods folder.
- Plugin: upload the plugin build to your server's plugins folder and restart.
Before removing Timber cleanly, run /function timber:uninstall first. This prevents leftover data from lingering in your world.

Permissions and Licensing
Timber is free. You can use it on any server, including monetized ones, include it in modpacks that credit Profet and link back, feature it in videos, and modify it for your own world or server. Just do not re-upload it or a modified version, sell it, or present it as your own.
