01
Tree Felling
The Forester's Cleaver detects the connected logs that make up a supported tree and breaks them through a paced operation instead of instantly deleting the entire structure.
02
Tree Families
Different tree shapes need different connectivity rules. Standard trees use face-connected traversal, while shapes such as Cherry and Dark Oak can require diagonal branch connectivity so natural branches are included correctly.
03
Leaves and Canopies
After the logs are processed, the Cleaver handles the associated canopy while trying to avoid deleting leaves that belong to nearby independent trees.
Persistent leaves and neighboring trunk support are respected by the canopy logic so the operation behaves more like a tree feller than a generic leaf remover.
04
Durability
Log breaking consumes tool durability and respects Unbreaking behavior. Leaf cleanup is handled separately so canopy removal does not incorrectly consume the axe as though every leaf were a normal axe break.
05
What It Does Not Do
The Cleaver does not automatically replant a sapling after felling the tree. Replanting remains a player choice.
