Trees, and their mechanics

Nefroz

I've noticed and heard a few mods mention their annoyance at cleaning up floating trees around the server, I personally think they are ugly, and suggest that maybe we could find one of the plugins for bukkit that lets trees fall when the bottom log is cut, to prevent ugly trees floating everywhere especially since mods no longer have superpick.

To counterbalance the clearing of forests there should be auto planting plugin that replants saplings when they hit the ground too keep our forests from being 100% clear cut. Some will say this will make minecraft too easy. I dont see how it makes it easier, just simpler instead of having to climb to cut down trees they act like real trees and like every other plant in minecraft works, and prevents the ugly floaters.

hm... yes, I do find that floating trees are annoying and ugly

I love the idea of being able to chop them down, I know eventually the leaves disappear but sometimes players leave the trunk there which looks horrible ;)
I also agree this is hard on axes/picks when trying to clear it up :)

A really helpful idea!

But a flaw, griefers on house where there are stacks of logs. my house has them in the corners.

I do like the idea otherwise.

I do believe you can turn it on/off to disable it from working on user placed blocks...

This sounds amazing. Please add something like this.

I would like to see it implemented..!!

Supported! ;D I hate having to clean up floating trees from when ppl use my tree farm and are too lazy to finish up >.>  But this will also make harvesting and planting simpler.  I do have a question, will the durability of the tool used decrease as if it harvested all the logs of the tree individually? Or will it just count for the single log?  Also does this work on trees with branches? (I figured this would be the main reason ppl would want this in the first place as they are a PAIN to harvest fully)

To be honest, diamonds are so easy to come by, and wood is so cheap, that I don't think it really matters about durability. As for trees with branches, I would hope so.

Claw, they mods are talking about their durability on their items when they clean up LOTS of floating trees aroudn spawn

Indeed, but i was talking to tbpb, who isn't a mod, doesn't clean up LOTS of floating trees around spawn, and raised a valid point.

Most Plugins work with branches, and modify the durability loss to compensate, but they only work for one log usually.

wouldnt this cause some lag issues?
