AMCTimber 1.0.6

A major reliability, safety, and performance update over the original 1.0.0 release.

Player-Facing Improvements

• Fallen trees and animations behave more consistently when something interrupts the felling process.
• Active trees no longer silently lose their log drops during a planned server reload or shutdown.
• Undelivered logs are retained and retried instead of being counted as successfully dropped.
• Crush damage no longer affects tamed pets, leashed mobs, villagers, or entities at protected landing points.
• Giant fallen trunks now have better interaction coverage and are easier to chop.
• Fixed incorrect axe durability consumption when stump mode is disabled.
• Failed tree-felling attempts restore affected blocks where it is safe to do so.

Server Safety and Performance

• The display-entity limit now covers the entire falling tree, including logs and leaves.
• Falling animations and landed trunks share one global entity budget.
• Tree scanning and expensive configuration values now have enforced upper limits.
• AMCTimber only processes already-loaded chunks and does not force-load terrain while scanning trees.
• Temporary entities are cleaned up during startup and planned shutdown.
• Failed or interrupted felling sessions release their reserved slots correctly.
• Removed the unused metrics library. AMCTimber has no telemetry and no required runtime dependencies.

Protection Changes

• WorldGuard and Towny checks now fail safely by default when an installed integration encounters an error.
• Falling-tree damage respects protected landing points.
• The built-in player-build detector remains a conservative heuristic, not a guarantee. Use WorldGuard or Towny for important builds and protected areas.

Configuration Changes

• The optional skill-XP command bridge is now disabled by default. Enable it only after configuring a valid command for your skill plugin.
• QA test commands are disabled by default and use the separate amctimber.qa permission when enabled.
• Existing configuration remains readable, but server owners should compare it with the new default configuration and review the protection, entity-limit, XP, and QA settings.

Compatibility

• Paper, Purpur, and Pufferfish
• Minecraft 1.20.6–1.21.x
• Java 21 or newer
• Server-side only
• WorldGuard and Towny remain optional

Spigot is not currently supported.

The release was validated on Paper 1.20.6 and Paper 1.21.11.
