Woodsman makes felling a tree feel like the real thing. Chop through a trunk and the whole tree topples over in an animated fall — crashing to the forest floor as a row of intact logs you walk up and chop for wood. Leave the base standing and it grows back into a full tree on its own. It all works on every species, on the wild trees that generated with your world, with an axe or your bare hands.

◆ TIMBER — TREES ACTUALLY FALL

• The tree topples — chop a standing trunk and everything above your cut falls in the direction you're facing.
• It lands as real logs — the trunk comes to rest as breakable horizontal logs on the ground. No more trees popping into a floating pile of drops; you chop the fallen wood by hand.
• A proper fall — a creak, a timber crash, and a smooth topple animation. It's cosmetic and fully server-authoritative, so the blocks never desync.

◆ STUMPS THAT GROW BACK

• Clear-cut — cut the very bottom log, the one on the ground, and the whole tree falls with nothing left behind.
• Fell and regrow — cut any log above the bottom and the tree topples but that bottom log stays as a stump, quietly regrowing into a full tree after about one in-game year (configurable). Break the stump to cancel it.
• It remembers — regrow timers are saved with the world and survive chunk unloads, relogs and server restarts — and a stump won't grow through a build that has since moved into its space.

◆ IT REACTS TO THE WORLD

• Crushes what's underneath — a falling tree flattens the grass, flowers and bushes caught in its path.
• Follows the ground — the trunk drapes down slopes and stops against walls and cliffs instead of floating in mid-air.
• Knocks over neighbours — a large tree can topple a smaller tree it lands on.
• Every tree — all wood species, including the wild, world-generated trees that were already standing.

/woodsman set &lt;dur&gt; &nbsp;— set the regrow delay &nbsp;·&nbsp; units: 1y, 30d, 72h, 90m

◆ GOOD TO KNOW

• Requires Vintage Story 1.22.3+, installed on both server and client.
• Multiplayer-safe — the server owns every block change; regrowth runs on cheap scheduled checks, never per-frame work.
• In-game handbook — a Woodsman page under Handbook → Guides explains it all for players and admins.
• Configurable — regrow time, minimum tree size to topple, the fall animation, cascade felling, and creative-mode behaviour.
