Better Tree Harvester

🌲 TREE HARVESTER 🪓

⚡ CHOP ONCE • HARVEST MORE • BUILD FASTER ⚡

A smart, lightweight and survival-friendly tree harvesting mod for Minecraft Fabric.

🌲 01 — ABOUT TREE HARVESTER

A FASTER WAY TO HARVEST WOOD

Tree Harvester is a lightweight and powerful Minecraft Fabric mod created by PrabhatPie, designed to make tree chopping faster, smoother and much less repetitive while keeping the familiar Minecraft survival experience intact.

The concept is simple: use an axe on a suitable tree and let Tree Harvester intelligently detect and process the connected logs according to its configured rules.

Less repetitive chopping. More building, exploring and surviving.

Tree Harvester is built as a Vanilla+ quality-of-life experience. It does not attempt to replace Minecraft's core survival mechanics; instead, it focuses on making one of the most repetitive resource-gathering tasks faster and more enjoyable.

✨ Perfect For

🌲 Survival Worlds • 🏠 Builders • 👥 SMP Servers • 🎮 Vanilla+ Players • 🌳 Forest Gathering • 🛠️ Modpacks
