Woodcutting

Woodcutting isn't "hold click on a block". It's a long, publicly visible action, and at the end of it the tree actually falls.

#Which trees can be felled

Only trees in the forestry registry. The ordinary forest around you is scenery: an axe won't start any channel on it.

#The tool you need

You need an axe of the tree's tier and the Woodcutting profession at that tier. The axe can be in your hand or in the TOOLS slot — both work.

A tier 1 axe costs 150 coins.

#Interaction distance

Right-click the trunk with the axe. Your character walks into position by itself. If you move more than 6 blocks away, the channel cancels.

#The chopping animation

While the channel runs:

• your character is locked in the animation — no moving, no jumping, the camera stays fixed;
• a real V-shaped notch is cut into the trunk, through 8 depth stages, visible to every player nearby.

#The trunk falling

At the end the tree physically falls — a block-display animation that crushes entities underneath it.

#Bucking the logs

Fallen logs are bucked with exactly 2 hits each. Every log gives you one "Raw Log" bundle of the tree's tier.

#Loot

For a fully harvested tree:

On tier 3 trees there's also a 5 % chance for the Forest Sprite to appear.

#Regrowth

A felled tree comes back after 240–480 seconds (4–8 minutes). There's no point waiting — move to the next one.
