Java Edition data pack

TreeVeinMiner

Connected structural wood is removed through a bounded queue. The first log is still mined by Minecraft, so normal tool, loot and protection behavior remains the entry point.

01 / Install

Use the ZIP for the selected version

1

Put the ZIP, without extracting it, in world/datapacks.

03 / Commands

Operator controls

04 / Blocks

Tree families stay separate

Oak does not jump into spruce, and overworld logs do not connect to Nether stems. Stripped variants and wood or hyphae variants remain in their own matching family.

Do not put leaves in a tree family. That recreates a canopy-scale mining operation and bypasses LeaveDecay's bounded natural-leaf checks.

05 / Durability

Version-specific tool handling

06 / Leaves

Use LeaveDecay as a separate add-on

TreeVeinMiner intentionally mines structural wood only. LeaveDecay receives a tree-only hook, waits for vanilla distance updates, and removes only natural unsupported leaves through its own six-node default tick budget.

Protected

Leaves with persistent=true are never claimed.

Drops

Each removed leaf evaluates its vanilla loot table as natural decay.

Required build

TreeVeinMiner 7.1.1 or 4.2.1 exposes and advertises the hook used by the add-on.
