A quality of life mod that enhances tree chopping in Hytale. Automatically breaks tree roots, fills holes with dirt, drops all logs at one location, and replants saplings. Highly configurable to match your playstyle.
Tree Harvester is a quality of life mod that significantly improves the tree chopping experience in Hytale. Created by Serilum, it expands on the game’s basic tree felling functionality with automatic cleanup, convenient item collection, and sapling replanting.
What Does This Mod Do?
While Hytale already has basic tree felling, Tree Harvester takes it further. When you chop a tree while crouching, the mod automatically:
- Breaks all tree roots
- Fills the root hole with surrounding dirt
- Drops all logs at the first chopped position
- Plants a sapling where the tree stood
Key Features
Automatic Root Removal
No more leftover root blocks cluttering your landscape. The mod automatically removes tree roots when you harvest a tree, leaving a clean area.
Smart Hole Filling
The hole left by roots is automatically filled with the same type of dirt from surrounding blocks, maintaining a natural-looking terrain.
Convenient Log Collection
All logs from the tree drop at the position of the first block you chopped, making item collection quick and easy.
Automatic Replanting
After harvesting, a sapling is automatically placed where the tree stood, helping maintain forest sustainability.
