TreeCutter

TreeCutter is a lightweight and configurable Minecraft plugin that allows players to cut down entire natural trees instantly by sneaking and breaking the bottom log. Tool durability is respected, commands are LuckPerms-friendly, and admins have full control.

Features

- Instant tree cutting when sneaking and breaking the bottom log. - Tool durability handling with Unbreaking support. - Durability break confirmation (crouch + break again) with silent confirmed break. - Player-made tree blocking with a dedicated toggle: `behavior.block-player-made-trees`. - Tracking for player-placed and command-placed logs (`setblock` / `fill`) with configurable max fill volume. - WorldGuard compatibility with strict block-break checks and optional plugin flag support. - Blacklist system with action-bar warnings and `/tcmsg off` to hide blacklist warnings. - Unblacklist action-bar notice, including delivery when the player joins later. - Prefix and messages fully configurable through `config.yml` and `messages.yml`. - Compatible with Paper, Purpur, and Spigot 1.21+.

Notes

- `/tcmsg` does not show tab suggestions by design. - If a player is unblacklisted while offline, the green unblacklist notice appears on next join. - For region protection, keep `hooks.worldguard.enabled: true` and avoid giving `treecutter.bypass.worldguard` unless intended.
