About this project
What does (Snake's) Chopping Block add?

Chopping Block is a simple mod replacing the default minecraft method of harvesting planks from logs. Now, instead of just crafting logs directly into planks, you can either right-click the (top) of a placed log with an axe, only yielding only 2 wooden planks, or craft a Chopping Block, and by placing your wood on it and hitting it with an axe, it yields 6 planks per log! This mod is designed with compatability in mind, featuring fully data-driven recipes fit for any modpack!
Recommended (compatbile) mods:
- Just Enough Items (JEI)
- No Tree Punching (Requires Chopping Block x No Tree Punching for full compatability)
