The first task players have in Minecraft is to chop down a tree. They start by punching it and breaking their first log block. Later on, players can progress to axes that can break wood a lot faster. Since wood is an essential resource, players almost always need lots of it. Hence, they keep chopping wood from trees, but chopping block by block can be tiring.
Thankfully, the community has made several mods that change the game's various features and core mechanics. One such mod, called Timber, lets players chop down trees with ease. Here's everything to know about it and a download guide.

When players chop down a tree, they have to break every single wood log block. Of course, they can leave the tree hanging in the air after chopping down a few logs at the bottom, but a hanging tree can look weird to many. Hence, it can be quite time-consuming to chop down taller trees like spruce and jungle.
This is where the Timber mod comes in handy. By just breaking one log block from a tree, players will be able to take down the entire tree with this mod. The remaining wood blocks hanging in the air instantaneously shatter, turn into items, and fall to the ground. Hence, this mod will save players a ton of time when harvesting wood from biomes.
It is worth mentioning that to keep survival real and challenging, the durability of an axe will deteriorate based on the number of wood logs on a tree. If a tree has 10 wood logs, but the player only chopped one to bring it down, the axe's durability will take 10 units of hit instead of one.
