Timbr

Overview

Timbr is a modern, lightweight, and vanilla-friendly timber plugin designed for survival servers.

Cut down entire trees smoothly using intelligent tree detection, sneak-to-chop mechanics, vanilla balancing, and optimized performance.

No overpowered nonsense.
No accidental house destruction.
No lag machine disguised as a utility plugin.

Features

Sneak-to-Chop

By default, players must sneak/crouch while breaking a log with an axe to trigger tree felling.

This prevents accidental destruction and keeps normal building safe.

Natural Tree Detection

Timbr intelligently checks for matching leaves before felling a tree.

This prevents:

• Log cabin destruction
• Decorative pillar breaking
• Accidental structure griefing

No leaves?
No full tree felling.

Vanilla-Friendly Balancing

Timbr respects Minecraft survival gameplay.

• Axe durability consumed per log
• Supports Unbreaking enchantments
• Optional hunger exhaustion
• Automatic stop when the axe breaks

Large trees should feel satisfying to chop, not free.

Optimized Performance

Large jungle and dark oak trees are handled using an optimized BFS traversal system.

• Single-pass scanning
• Smart leaf short-circuiting
• Configurable max log limits
• Optional downward-breaking restriction

Built to minimize lag spikes even during large tree felling.

Protection Plugin Compatibility

Timbr safely integrates with protection plugins by triggering BlockBreakEvent checks for every broken log.

Compatible with:

• WorldGuard
• GriefPrevention
• Towny
• LWC
• and more

If another plugin cancels the block break, Timbr safely skips that block.

Immersive Effects

Optional cosmetic feedback:

• Wood breaking sounds
• Tree creaking sounds
• Block particles

Simple, subtle, and satisfying.

Supported Platforms

• Paper 1.20+
• Purpur
• Pufferfish
• Spigot

Experimental Folia support may arrive in future versions.

Why Timbr?

Most timber plugins:

• Feel outdated
