NormalTreeCapitator

Chop one log. Break the whole tree.

NormalTreeCapitator lets players cut down entire trees — logs, leaves, nether wood, mushrooms, and more — in one go. Hold an axe, break a block, and everything connected comes down with it.

Built for survival servers that want something simple for players and flexible for admins.

Original Dev Cristichi Cristichi's Tree Capitator

What makes it different?

  • Works on Folia — not just Paper. Also runs on Spigot and Bukkit.
  • Won't melt your server — big trees break in small waves instead of all at once.
  • You pick the blocks — add trees, mushrooms, bamboo, or anything else in config. No code edits.
  • Tool tiers & VIP gates — same woods can live in multiple groups; the held axe (and optional permissions) pick which chain runs.
  • Players can turn it off — /tc toggle saves their choice. Staff can check with /tc status (online or offline).
  • Fully editable — change settings and chat messages in YAML, then /tc reload. Your groups and block-damages are never overwritten by the jar on reload.
  • Claim-friendly — each block in a chain fires a break check, so protection plugins (WorldGuard, GriefPrevention, Lands, CoreProtect, etc.) can skip protected blocks while the rest still break.
  • Smart replant — optional auto-replant after the full tree is down, correct sapling/fungus per log type, and 2×2 dark oak support. With low-durability axes, connected 0-cost leaves still break so saplings can drop for replant.
  • Fair on tools — leaves can cost zero durability; when break-tool is off, log chains stop before your axe breaks.
  • Update alerts — ops/admins get a clickable download link when a newer version is out (/tc version too).

Works with
Minecraft 1.20+
Servers Paper · Folia · Spigot · Bukkit
Java 17+

Install

  1. Download from Modrinth (or GitHub)
  2. Drop the JAR in plugins/
  3. Start / restart the server
  4. Tweak plugins/NormalTreeCapitator/config.yml if you want
  5. /tc reload when you change YAML (restart after jar updates)

That's it.

For players

Do this What happens
Break a log with an axe The whole connected tree breaks
/tc toggle Turn tree cap on or off for yourself
/tc help See commands
/tc version Show installed version (and update link if outdated)

Default config may require sneaking while breaking. Your server admin can flip must-sneak so tree cap works while standing instead — sneaking then becomes a normal single-block break.

Large trees show a short “Processing tree breaks…” message while the chain finishes.

For server owners/admins

Commands — /tc (also /treecap, /treecapitator, /normaltreecap)

Command Permission
/tc toggle normaltreecapitator.toggle (in user pack)
/tc toggle <player> normaltreecapitator.admin.toggle.others
/tc status / /tc status <player> normaltreecapitator.admin.status — online or offline
/tc reload normaltreecapitator.admin.reload
/tc version Everyone

Permission packs

  • normaltreecapitator.user — basics: use, toggle, help (default: everyone)
  • normaltreecapitator.admin — all admin tools: status, reload, toggle.others, protected saplings, update alerts
  • normaltreecapitator.* — everything
  • Optional config gates: normaltreecapitator.group.<name> and normaltreecapitator.damage.<name> (from permission: vip in YAML)

Config files

File What it's for
config.yml Block lists, axes, limits, replant, sneak mode, durability costs, async tuning, optional VIP permissions
messages.yml Chat text and colors

Groups — make separate rules for trees, mushrooms, or custom blocks. Each group has its own block list, tool list, and optional permission. Trees won't chain into mushrooms unless you put them in the same group. The same log can appear in multiple groups (tool tiers / VIP).

Notable settings (1.0.4+)

Setting What it does
must-sneak Sneak to cap (true) or cap while standing (false)
replant / replant-consume-saplings Auto-replant stumps; optionally consume saplings from real drops
merge-item-drops One drop pile at the stump vs drops at each block
break-tool / block-damages Control axe wear — leaves can cost 0; optional per-rank damage via permission:
groups.*.permission Gate a whole break group behind a permission (e.g. VIP bigger trees)
cooldown-ticks Delay between tree-cap uses
async-start / blocks-per-tick / async-delay Wave size and timing for huge trees
debug [TreeCap] lines in console for troubleshooting

What's new in 1.0.4

  • /tc status / /tc status <player> — check toggle state online or offline
  • normaltreecapitator.user and admin.* permission packs
  • Optional permission: on groups and block-damages for VIP / rank tiers

Included out of the box

  • All overworld log & leaf types (incl. cherry, mangrove, pale oak where supported)
  • Nether stems, hyphae, wart blocks, shroomlight
  • Huge mushrooms (separate group)
  • Optional replant & sapling protection
  • Axe durability, Unbreaking, unbreakable tools
  • Trunk-first breaking so logs take durability before leaves
  • Version check with clickable update link for staff
