Choose a break style that fits your world
Instant behavior is the fastest option, while falling or animated behavior can make tree removal feel more physical. On shared servers, favor a mode that is easy for players to understand and does not create unexpected item behavior.
Keep tool durability meaningful
If your configuration provides durability controls, avoid eliminating durability cost completely in a survival-focused world. Making a large tree cost something keeps upgraded tools and resource planning relevant.
Restrict which tools can trigger felling
A tool restriction reduces accidental activations. Axes are the obvious default for a vanilla-like experience, while modpacks may want to allow compatible modded axes as well.
Tune tree detection carefully
Very permissive detection can mistake player-built log structures for trees. If your world contains timber houses, bridges, or decorative log piles, favor conservative detection and test around builds before using aggressive settings.
Decide how leaves should behave
Leaf handling affects both cleanup speed and the visual result. Faster cleanup is convenient, but some players prefer vanilla decay. Pick one policy and document it for server members so expectations are clear.
Test configuration in a copy
Before deploying major changes to a server, duplicate the world or use a small test world. Try different tree sizes, modded trees if relevant, and nearby builds to confirm detection behaves as intended.
