This is a really useful addition for those who don't want to spend expensive time on gathering resources! After installing, the Timber Datapack allows you to instantly chop down a tree just by breaking one log with any axe.
By default, sneaking while breaking will not chop the tree.
Optionally, you can adjust everything as you wish.

Under the Hood Features

- Chops only trees¹
- Works with every type of log²
- Supports custom trees³
- Leaves drop normal loot
- Takes account of any enchantment
- Many options for customization

¹ Trees are defined as logs that are next to naturally generated leaves.
² Logs in the tag #minecraft:logs.
³ All kind of custom trees like from BiomesO'Plenty, The Biome Overhaul, Terrestria and Traverse.

About:

This Advanced Manual will help you to add or change certain elements of this datapack which require editing of your side.

Important:

In order to add or change the following you have to put the content of the datapack (Timber.zip) in a folder called "Timber".
There are directories to different type of files. Open them with any kind of text editor. Below the directories is the code which you have to insert or replace (it's stated which one of these).


Debugging:

If you have difficulties or errors in trying to change the timber datapack, then please enable the output log (Minecraft Launcher → Settings → General → Enable "Open output log when Minecraft: Java Edition starts").


Add modded axes:
(for example the emeraldaxe from supertools)

(Small note: Your modded axe will break after or below zero durability. This shouldn't be a problem. It's not really worth to implement a fix, because you're only able to chop a few more logs)

Get the name of your modded axe:
Go ingame and type "/scoreboard objectives add x minecraft.used:" in chat. Now search for your modded axe there.
In my example it's called "supertools.emeraldaxe".

Give your modded axe a nickname:
In my case a gave him the name "timber_emera_axe".
This is technically the name of your axe used by the datapack. You can name it however you like just look that you write it everywhere the same and that you follow these points:
  • Always use the prefix "timber_"
  • The max. length of the nickname is "timber_123456789"
  • Don't use names twice for other axes!

I downloaded this datapack from vanillatweaks for 1.21.11, but somehow it broke..

I've also downloaded the other datapacks, like husk drops sand, and it worked..

most of vanillatweak's datapacks work just fine, but somehow not with timber..

I wonder how to fix it, can you tell me..?

edit :

I forget to tell what happened in my case..

the datapacks loaded and enabled, but, I couldn't use the /trigger TimberToggle at all..

the /function timber:help also not available., I mean, all those settings didn't show up..

thanks..

I know it’s early but are there plans to update to 1.21.5? Playing MC without this data pack feels like living in the Stone Age >.<

I haven't figured out why, and I redownloaded from here hoping it was updated/fixed, maybe you haven't been informed, if I silk touch mushrooms, and they are selected to be chopped, and have an empty inventory, (and I'm choose to collect directly into inventory), the blocks get randomly placed in inventory, and after a while of filling up, at a certain point, extra blocks just get straight up deleted, and not fill the inventory slots, all other trees seem fine, just the fungi. It's been like this since v. 2. something. I only have datapacks installed, and I don't think anything else I have installed should effect fungi, or my inventory slots, or my silk touch axe, so I have no idea what's causing this. I don't even know where to search in the code to figure out what could be causing it. I hope this gets fixed eventually, I love the datapack none-the-less! I still use it, I just have to fill my inventory of all the blocks I plan to go chop, and drop off before 100% full. I would just prefer not needing to do that.
