Stop Fisting Trees

A Minecraft mod that prevents players from breaking logs with their bare hands. It will make it very slow to brake a log with a fist and it will drop nothing. (like mining diamonds with a stone pick)

---

You should add flint axes, otherwise it will be very hard to get wood at the start.

Features

• 🪓 Requires tools to harvest logs - No more punching trees!
• ⚙️ Highly configurable - Control what can break logs
• 🌳 Works with all logs - Vanilla and modded logs supported
• 🖥️ Server-side only - Clients don't need the mod installed
• ⚡ Lightweight - Minimal performance impact

How It Works

By default:

• Axes: ✅ Always work (any tier)
• Tools (pickaxe, shovel, hoe, sword): ✅ Work by default
• Other items: ❌ Don't work
• Bare hands: ❌ Never work

Players without proper tools can still attempt to break logs, but:

• Breaking is much slower (20% normal speed by default)
• No items drop when the block breaks

Configuration

# Allow tools (pickaxe, shovel, hoe, sword) to break logs
# Note: Axes always work regardless of this setting
toolsBreakLogs = true

# Allow non-tool items (any item) to break logs
# Note: Axes always work regardless of this setting
itemsBreakLogs = false

# Speed multiplier when breaking logs without proper tool
# 0.0 = unbreakable, 1.0 = normal speed
# Range: 0.0 ~ 1.0
breakSpeedMultiplier = 0.2

Compatibility

• Minecraft Version: 1.21.1
• Mod Loader: NeoForge 21.1.211+
• Modded Logs: Works with all mods that properly tag their logs
