About this project
What does Stop Punching Trees add?
StopPunchingTrees
Tired of players punching their way through forests? StopPunchingTrees makes survival a bit more grounded: you need a real tool to harvest wood.
Bare hands won't do it anymore, and neither will a sword or any random item. Grab a hatchet!
Features
- 🪓 Wood needs a tool: logs and wooden blocks can't be broken by hand.
- ⛏️ Optional stone and ore rules: make stone and ores require a pickaxe too.
- ⚙️ Fully configurable: choose exactly which kinds of blocks need a tool.
- 🔊 Clear feedback: hitting a protected block plays the game's "unbreakable block" sound.
- 🪶 Lightweight: a small server plugin with no dependencies.
Configuration
On first start, the plugin creates mods/sny1411_StopPunchingTrees/config.json:
{
"ToolRequiredGatherTypes": ["Woods"]
}
To also require a pickaxe for stone and ores:
{
"ToolRequiredGatherTypes": [
"Woods",
"Rocks", "VolcanicRocks",
"OreCopper", "OreIron", "OreSilver", "OreGold",
"OreThorium", "OreCobalt", "OreAdamantite", "OreMithril"
]
}
Restart the server after editing the file.
Compatibility
Requires a Hytale server 0.6.8 (Update 6) or later.
