this will just make it a lot easier to grief buildings, but will also piss people off as it takes ages to break the first block of wood. no.
The thing is, breaking a tree with 10 logs, each one separately, takes a lot more time than breaking one log that takes the amount of time it takes to break those 10 ones all summed up, because sometimes you need to use dirt to climb into higher zones where the blocks can’t be broken from the ground (jungle trees, for instance) and that takes a lot more time. Moreover, I think destroying entire areas covered by trees will be much easier, and I don’t think we would want that if you’re not going to build anything there after clearing the area, nor replanting.
I only voted yes because the thing you referred about floating tres is really really annoying indeed.
Yeah. No from me. Towns like Arbor would be gone in an instant. Just at this knowledge, EVERYONE should say no. We don’t need a plugin that will just destroy towns.
I voted not sure. I definitely see many pros and cons to this plug in.
Honestly, I think that while this plugin may solve a minor aesthetic issue the issues of griefing and such MUCH outweigh the pro. No from me.
Okay, I was able to find a plugin that solves all of your concerns. This one will protect log buildings, and there is a feature that moves the tree down rather that destroy it all at once (if you’re concerned about the economy).

Also, detecting if logs are natural or man-paced shouldn’t cause lag issues at all. Minecraft already does this with leaves, natural leaves decay while man-placed leaves stay.
Since this new plugin fixes a lot of your concerns, you should really reconsider it.
I don’t know which mod in FTB adds it, but I like that removing the logs from the tree makes the leaves despawn quickly.
The ultimate Thaumcraft axe can chop any tree down in one swing… lol? Clearly OP, but FTB is meant to be. Nobody has managed to make that thing yet though.
Faster despawning of leaves would be enough for me.
Kyle, I think it would be best if the poll was reset sine the newer plugin would fix may of the concerns of people who voted no.
Could we bound it to a tool?.say a diamond axe so that is someone wants to grief the server they would have to put alot of time and effort to get diamonds and by this time they wont just throw it all away to get banned.
people can simply remove their vote ferr
People can’t grief with the new plugin, since it only works on natural trees.
@dord it doesn’t seem like people have taken the time to look at this thread again since they voted. Perhaps I need to make a new thread…
Well if you are wrong about it only taking out natural trees arbor will go down, so this is a risk for me. Is there a way we could like lock the bottom of the tree? that way peeps cant grief. I say no as this is just a way to be lazy on a video game! Come on now.
Honestly, that is what this comes down to. Players are too lazy to either cut down an entire tree, or actually remove EVERY log. In my opinion, the trees are fine as-is, and if you don’t like seeing the random floating trees, please, just take the time to cut them down.
It’s in the plugin’s details…so that’s what the plugin does. Make sure you read my earlier comment about moving the tree down.
It doesn’t make anyone lazy, since it still takes the same amount of time to chop down a tree. This plugin isn’t here to make things simpler, it just removes the ugly floating tree problem. You’d still remove every log.
I think this plugin is rather good, its good for clearing land too if you think about it. I voted up, but ultimately up the everyone to decide. 
Since this is a build server and since the votesare currently tied, I’m gonna go ahead and vote yes. Jungle trees, Dark oaks and fancy oaks are kinda annoying.
so you’re gonna go around and cut down every dark oak, jungle and “fancy oak” tree then 
;D
Where are you getting that it takes longer to chop the trees?

From what I can tell, it only takes the regular time(for one block), to chop a whole tree.
Seeing that video, I feel the plugin is far too dangerous to player builds…
GUYS
Remember, it doesn’t have to be the 1 block break, we can set it to move the tree down rather than you climbing up it (out actually adds more realism if you ask me).
We should vote on the plugin itself, rather than a section of it we may not even use. The problem will solve ugly floating tree problem without making it easier to cut trees down. Only natural trees are affected, and if you really don’t trust the authors of the plugin we can test it before we bring it to PCB.
