Axe To The Max!

**Axe To The Max** is a tree-chopper mod for Minecraft Forge 1.20.1 that brings smart, fair, and fully configurable vein-chopping to your game. Works on every tree, including modded ones (probably, it's still work-in-progress), with full multiplayer support and per-player settings. FEATURES ARE STILL WIP, SOME OF THEM DO NOT WORK PERFECTLY! ## How It Works Hold **Sneak + break any log** and the entire tree comes down at once. The chopper uses a BFS flood-fill through `#minecraft:logs`, meaning it works on every vanilla and modded tree without any extra configuration. ## Player-Placed Log Protection Logs you place yourself are **permanently tagged** as player-placed. The chopper will never vein-chop through them. This works globally in multiplayer. If player 1 placed the log, player 2 can't bypass it either. --- ## Fairness Settings Two optional fairness mechanics keep the mod balanced on survival servers: **Durability Per Log** - the axe loses 1 durability per log chopped, not just 1 total. A 14-log tree costs 14 durability, same as breaking manually. **Break Time Per Log** - chopping takes as long as it would to break each log manually with your current axe tier. A wooden axe on a 14-log tree takes 14× the normal break time. Switching to iron speeds it up proportionally. ```java float RequiredTicks = LogCount / BreakSpeed * 20f; if (ElapsedTicks < RequiredTicks) event.setCanceled(true); ``` Trying to break a log halfway and then shift to trigger the chopper won't work, the timer starts from your very first hit. --- ## Per-Player Config Run `/config` to open the settings screen in-game. Every setting is saved per-player and persists across restarts and sessions. --- ## All Config Options **General** | Setting | Default | Description | |---|---|---| | Tree Chopper | ON | Master toggle for all chopper features | | Require Axe | OFF | Only trigger when holding an axe | | Protect Player Logs | ON | Skip logs tagged as player-placed | | Multiple Tree Support | ON | Works on modded trees via tags | **Gameplay** | Setting | Default | Description | |---|---|---| | Auto Replant | ON | Replants a sapling at the base after chopping | | Break Leaves | ON | Instantly breaks all nearby leaves | | Drop Saplings | ON | Leaves drop saplings when broken | | Drop Apples | ON | Leaves drop apples when broken | **Fairness** | Setting | Default | Description | |---|---|---| | Durability Per Log | ON | Axe loses 1 durability per log, not 1 total | | Break Time Per Log | OFF | Chopping takes proportional time based on log count and axe tier | --- ## Multiplayer - All data stored server-side via `SavedData`, no client mod required for servers - Player-placed log tags are shared globally across all players - Config syncs to client on login and on every save - No race conditions, all block operations run on the server thread --- ## Compatibility All vanilla trees Modded trees using `#minecraft:logs` and `#minecraft:leaves` (nearly universal) Dead trees with no leaves Multiplayer servers
