TreeChopMod
Chopping wood in Minecraft is one of those chores that starts relaxing and ends tedious. You spot a towering spruce, break the bottom log, and then spend the next two minutes hopping around the trunk collecting every block. TreeChopMod removes that busywork entirely. Break one log, and the entire tree comes down in a satisfying cascade. It is a small quality-of-life add-on with a big impact on how you gather resources.
What TreeChopMod Does
At its core, the mod watches for the moment you break a log block. Instead of leaving the rest of the tree floating in the air, it detects the connected logs and breaks them for you. The whole trunk falls, leaves decay naturally, and you move on to the next tree. No more pillar-jumping, no more floating canopies cluttering your builds.
The add-on is built with survival players in mind. It respects the rules you would expect from vanilla Minecraft, so it never feels like cheating unless you want it to.
Core Features
- One-Click Tree Chopping: Break a single log and watch the whole tree fall.
- Tool Friendly: Supports durability, axe requirements, and tool protection so your favorite axe never snaps mid-swing.
- Auto Replant: Automatically plants a sapling after a tree is chopped, keeping your forests sustainable.
- Leaf Decay Integration: Chopped trees decay naturally, so there is no leaf cleanup needed.
- Chunked Breaking: Breaks a few blocks per tick so even massive jungle giants do not freeze the game.
Supported Versions and Loaders
TreeChopMod is a Fabric add-on. It targets Minecraft 26.3.x and requires Java 25 or newer, Fabric Loader 0.19.5+, and any Fabric API build for 26.3.x (tested against 0.160.7+26.3). If you already run a Fabric setup, dropping this in is painless. If you are new to modding, the foxygame.net launcher makes the whole process trivial: it installs TreeChopMod and its dependencies in one click, keeps everything updated automatically, and warns you when a new Minecraft version needs a matching build.
Settings and Controls
Press K to open the settings menu. You can rebind this at any time under Options, Controls, Keybinds, Miscellaneous. The menu gives you fine control over how aggressive the chopping should be.
Key Options
- Mod Enabled: Toggle the entire add-on on or off.
- Require Axe: Only chop trees while holding an axe.
- Tool Safety: Stop before your tool breaks.
- Require Sneak: Only chop when sneaking, ideal for players who want manual control.
- Base Break Only: Require breaking the bottom log to trigger the chop.
- Max Radius: Search distance from 1 to 128 blocks, default 48.
- Max Logs: Cap the number of logs chopped, from 1 to 512, default 256.
- Speed: Blocks broken per tick, from 1 to 20, default 15.
- Auto Replant: Automatically plant a sapling after chopping.
These defaults are tuned for a smooth experience. Large trees fall quickly without causing lag spikes, and tool safety means you can chop all day without carrying a stack of spare axes.
How to Install TreeChopMod for Minecraft
Getting started takes only a few minutes. First, confirm you are running Minecraft 26.3.x with Fabric Loader 0.19.5 or newer. Next, place the Fabric API jar and the TreeChopMod jar into your mods folder. Launch the game through your Fabric profile, and the add-on loads automatically. If you prefer a guided setup, a launcher with a built-in add-on catalog handles the version matching for you, so there is no guesswork about which Fabric API build pairs with your game version.
Quick Install Checklist
- Install Java 25 or newer.
- Set up Fabric Loader 0.19.5+ for Minecraft 26.3.x.
- Add Fabric API for 26.3.x to your mods folder.
- Add the TreeChopMod jar alongside it.
- Launch the game and press K to configure your preferences.
When you download TreeChopMod, you are getting an MIT-licensed add-on that is actively maintained and easy to remove if you ever change your mind. Just delete the jar and your world returns to vanilla behavior.
Final Thoughts
TreeChopMod is the kind of add-on that quietly becomes essential. It speeds up early-game wood gathering, makes large builds less tedious, and still respects survival balance through tool durability and axe requirements. Whether you are clearing a forest for a mega-base or just topping up your chest of oak planks, one swing is all it takes. Give it a try, tweak the settings to match your playstyle, and enjoy watching entire trees come down in a single satisfying chop.
