How do I use TreeCapitator?

Just use any axe to chop the bottom block of a tree. The mod will automatically detect and drop the entire tree. No special setup needed.

Can I turn off tree cutting for certain trees?

Yes. Open the mod config file to customize what counts as a tree, how many leaves are needed, and which tools work as axes.

Does this work with modded trees and axes?

Yes. You can configure the mod to recognize axes from mods like IndustrialCraft 2 and trees from mods like Forestry.

Do I take damage to my tools like normal?

Yes. Tool durability is based on how many logs you break, so chopping a big tree will cost more durability than normal.

Can I use this mod with other mods?

TreeCapitator is generally compatible with other mods. Check the download page to make sure you have the right version for your Minecraft build.

TreeCapitator Mod 1.12.2 - Chop Trees Fast

TreeCapitator Mod does one thing really well: when you chop the bottom of a tree with an axe, the entire tree comes down at once. No more spending minutes clicking on logs high up in the canopy. Hit the trunk and the whole thing explodes into blocks.

How It Works

Point your axe at the bottom log of any tree and start swinging. As soon as you break that first block, the mod detects all connected wood and brings it all down. Leaves? Gone. Saplings? Dropped. The whole job takes seconds instead of minutes, especially on those massive jungle trees that would normally take forever.

You’ll still take normal tool damage and lose durability based on how many blocks you break, so it’s not cheating. Just smart. If you’re in creative mode you can disable drops. And if you want to be picky about what counts as a tree, the config file gives you full control.

Key Features
