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• feel outdated,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.
