Timbr

Modern tree cutting for Minecraft.

Timbr is a lightweight, fast, and vanilla-friendly timber plugin built for modern survival servers.

Cut down entire trees smoothly using intelligent tree detection, sneak-to-chop mechanics, vanilla balancing, and optimized performance.

No overpowered instant-tree exploits. No accidental house destruction. No laggy chain-breaking chaos.

Just clean, satisfying tree felling that feels like it belongs in vanilla Minecraft.

Sneak-to-Chop

By default, players must crouch/sneak while breaking a log with an axe to trigger tree felling.

This simple mechanic acts as a natural safety system:

• normal building remains safe,
• accidental destruction is prevented,
• and tree felling always feels intentional.

Configurable modes:

• REQUIRED
• INVERTED
• DISABLED

Natural Tree Detection

Timbr intelligently checks for matching leaves before felling a tree.

This prevents:

• log cabin destruction,
• decorative pillar breaking,
• accidental structure griefing,
• and other common timber plugin disasters.

No leaves? No full tree felling.

Simple.

Vanilla-Friendly Balancing

Timbr is designed to respect Minecraft survival gameplay.

Features:

• Axe durability is consumed per log
• Fully supports Unbreaking enchantments
• Optional hunger exhaustion
• Automatic stop when the axe breaks

Large trees should feel satisfying to chop, not free.

Optimized Performance

Large jungle and dark oak trees are handled using an optimized BFS traversal system designed to minimize lag spikes.

Performance optimizations include:

• Single-pass tree scanning
• Smart leaf short-circuiting
• Configurable max log limits
• Optional downward-breaking restriction

Built for modern Paper servers.

Protection Plugin Compatibility

Timbr safely integrates with protection plugins by triggering BlockBreakEvent checks for every broken log.

Compatible with:

• WorldGuard
• GriefPrevention
• Towny
• LWC
• and many more

If another plugin cancels the block break, Timbr safely skips that block.

Immersive Effects

Optional cosmetic feedback includes:

• Wood breaking sounds
• Tree creaking sounds
• Block particles

Simple, subtle, and satisfying.

Supported Platforms

• Paper 1.20+
• Purpur
• Pufferfish

Experimental Folia support may arrive in future versions.

Why Timbr?

Most timber plugins:

• feel outdated,
• ignore survival balance,
• break player builds,
• or cause unnecessary lag.

Timbr focuses on doing one thing properly:

Making tree cutting feel smooth, intentional, balanced, and modern.

Planned Features

• Automatic sapling replanting
• Expanded animations
• Additional balancing options
• Custom tree compatibility
• Experimental Folia support
