TreeMaintainer

TreeMaintainer

A Minecraft Spigot plugin that automatically maintains trees by replanting saplings and removing floating parts, creating a more natural and tidy environment.

• Automatically replants saplings after tree cutting
• Tool-aware (only works with axes)
• Respects tool efficiency enchantments
• Natural leaf decay simulation
• Supports all vanilla trees
• Removes floating logs and leaves
• Fully configurable behavior
• Per-tree type settings

Installation

1. Download the latest release
2. Place the .jar in your server's `plugins` folder
3. Restart your server
4. Configure the plugin in the `config.yml` file

Usage

The plugin works automatically when players cut down trees with axes. No player action or commands are required. When a player cuts a tree with an axe:

1. The plugin detects the tree type
2. After the tree is cut, a sapling is automatically replanted
3. Any floating logs or leaves are cleaned up naturally
