Drop-in quality-of-life plugin for Paper servers: instant tree felling, tidy leaf cleanup, and automatic replanting with safety rails so mega-builds stay intact.
Why server owners love it
- ⚡ One axe swing can clear an entire tree while damage, particles, and timing stay configurable.
- 🌱 Optional replant + soil checks keep forests alive.
- 🛡️ Species-aware limits (per-tree caps, radii, durability rules) stop griefing before it starts.
- 🔁 Live config + locale reloads merge new defaults automatically—no manual diffing.
- 🔔 Update checker (Modrinth + Hangar) and join reminders keep your fleet current.
- 🌐 MiniMessage-powered localization lets you style player + console feedback exactly the way you like.
Server requirements
- Paper 26.2
- Java 25 runtime
- Optional: a permissions plugin (LuckPerms, etc.) for fine-grained access to
/timberellacommands.
Setup in 3 steps
- Copy the latest
timberella-paper-<version>.jarintoplugins/. - Boot the server once—
config.yml,lang/, andleaf_mappings.ymlappear automatically. - Tweak
plugins/Timberella/config.yml(modules, safety caps, labels) and run/timberella reload.
That’s it. The async watcher keeps configs + locales synced, and every reload revalidates permissions, caches, and message bundles.
Everyday tips
- Use
sneak-modeto decide when timbering should trigger (only sneaking, only not sneaking, or always). - Flip specific logs/woods/fences on or off in
categories.*. Unknown materials are ignored safely. - Watch the console after reloads: Timberella prints how many saplings, soils, and species are active plus any typos it auto-fixed.
- Update notifications surface in console and (optionally) to ops with
timberella.update.notify; setupdate-check.notify-console-always-showntrue if you still want “no update” provider summaries every cycle, and leaveupdate-check.filter-by-server-versiontrue so Modrinth/Hangar matches your server build.
Supported languages
Timberella bundles each locale as a MiniMessage YAML file so you can recolor or restyle them freely:
- 🇺🇸 English (en_US)
- 🇩🇪 German (de_DE)
- 🇸🇦 Arabic (ar_SA)
- 🇪🇸 Spanish (es_ES)
- 🇫🇷 French (fr_FR)
- 🇮🇹 Italian (it_IT)
- 🇯🇵 Japanese (ja_JP)
- 🇰🇷 Korean (ko_KR)
- 🇳🇱 Dutch (nl_NL)
- 🇵🇱 Polish (pl_PL)
- 🇵🇹 Portuguese (pt_PT)
- 🇹🇷 Turkish (tr_TR)
- 🇺🇦 Ukrainian (uk_UA)
- 🇨🇳 Simplified Chinese (zh_CN)
Missing keys fall back to English, and /timberella reload hot-reloads both config + language edits.
