Extra Utilities - Version 1

First Release

This is the first release of Extra Utilities, introducing the mod’s first major item: the Starfall Lumber Axe.

Added

Starfall Lumber Axe

• Added the Starfall Lumber Axe, a powerful late-game axe.
• Functions like a normal axe while also having tree-chopping abilities.
• Crafted using expensive materials to keep it balanced for survival gameplay.
• Designed to chop connected trees faster without being overpowered.

Tree Chopping

• The axe can chop down connected trees when the first broken block is a log.
• Uses vanilla log and leaf tags when possible.
• Breaks connected logs instead of clearing every log in a large radius.
• Can also break nearby connected leaves.
• Tree chopping works server-side to help prevent client/server desync.
• Sneaking disables the tree-chopping ability, allowing normal single-block breaking.

Balance and Safety

• Added a default max log limit of 128 logs per tree.
• Added durability damage based on the number of logs chopped.
• Durability is balanced around roughly 1 durability per 2 logs.
• Added safeguards to prevent infinite loops, giant radius clearing, and excessive block breaking.

Config

• Added a simple config system.
• Max logs per tree can be adjusted.
• Leaf breaking can be enabled or disabled.
• Durability cost scaling can be adjusted.

Notes

This is the first version of the mod, so future updates will expand Extra Utilities with more tools, items, mechanics, and useful features.
