QuickTree

v2.0.0

Major Release - Complete Overhaul

Version 2.0.0 represents a complete rewrite of QuickTree with significantly enhanced animations, better performance, and improved player experience.

+ Added:

Animation System

• Completely remade animation logic with physics-based tree falling
• Terrain-following trunk animation - Trees now bend and follow the ground topology as they fall
• Animated leaves with collision detection - Leaves fall realistically and interact with the environment
• Configurable animation speed - New config options to control animation timing:
  • base-fall-ticks: Minimum animation duration (default: 8 ticks)
  • ticks-per-tree-block: Additional time per block of tree height (default: 2 ticks)
  • max-fall-ticks: Maximum animation duration cap (default: 80 ticks)
  • animate-leaves: Toggle leaf animations on/off for performance (default: true)

Tree Detection & Protection

• Player-placed block protection system - The plugin now tracks blocks you place and won't trigger tree felling on structures you build
• Improved log-seeking algorithm - Better detection of tree structures
• New leaf-seeking algorithm - More accurate leaf detection and clean-up
• Changed wood detection method - Enhanced tree identification logic

Quality of Life

• Version-agnostic particle spawn system - Better compatibility across Minecraft versions
• Trees no longer fall toward the player - More predictable behaviour and better visuals

+ Fixed

• Made single-block "trees" not trigger the animation
• Cleaned up functions and methods throughout the codebase

+ Changed

• Complete animation system rewrite - More realistic physics simulation
• Refactored wood detection - More efficient tree structure identification

Version Comparison
