A smart, lightweight and survival-friendly tree harvesting mod for Minecraft Fabric.
Tree Harvester is a lightweight and powerful Minecraft Fabric mod created by PrabhatPie, designed to make tree chopping faster, smoother and much less repetitive while keeping the familiar Minecraft survival experience intact.
The concept is simple: use an axe on a suitable tree and let Tree Harvester intelligently detect and process the connected logs according to its configured rules.
Less repetitive chopping. More building, exploring and surviving.
Tree Harvester is built as a Vanilla+ quality-of-life experience. It does not attempt to replace Minecraft's core survival mechanics; instead, it focuses on making one of the most repetitive resource-gathering tasks faster and more enjoyable.
🌲 Survival Worlds • 🏠 Builders • 👥 SMP Servers • 🎮 Vanilla+ Players • 🌳 Forest Gathering • 🛠️ Modpacks
Tree Harvester uses connected-log detection to determine whether the blocks around the broken log belong to a valid tree structure.

🌲 TREE HARVESTED
Intelligently scans connected logs and processes tree structures instead of simply destroying random blocks around the player.
Designed around normal axe gameplay so the feature feels natural in survival mode.
Reduce repetitive block-by-block chopping and spend more time building and exploring.
Validation rules help distinguish tree-like structures from unrelated collections of logs.
Player interaction checks help make harvesting safer for multiplayer and protected environments.
Works around normal Minecraft block-breaking behaviour to preserve familiar drops and tool durability mechanics.
Optional leaf-related behaviour allows the harvesting experience to be adjusted to your preference.
Uses Minecraft's log tagging system for broader supported-log compatibility.
Designed with server-side gameplay in mind, making it suitable for SMP and survival servers.
Focused specifically on tree harvesting without adding unnecessary machines, currencies or heavy systems.
Tree Harvester provides configurable behaviour so players and server owners can choose between a conservative or faster harvesting experience.
| SETTING | PURPOSE |
