Tree Capitator is a Bedrock addon from TrueCowboy that brings down an entire tree with a single axe chop. It is built for players who want faster wood gathering without changing how they play. It runs on Bedrock only, and Java cannot load it.
Supported versions
- Minecraft 1.21.70 to 1.21.122.
What it does
Break one log with an axe and the rest of the tree comes down with it. The addon handles all available woods and is optimised for better performance. Axes added by other addons count as well, so tools from packs you already use gain the felling behaviour.
- Sneak while chopping to remove logs one block at a time instead of felling the whole tree.
- Axe durability drains according to the number of logs broken.
- Operators can switch durability consumption off from a settings menu opened with privileges.
- Works with achievements.
Installing and checking it
Follow the steps in how to install add-ons on Bedrock, then switch the pack on in your world's settings. To confirm it is active, look for a small text with an icon reading "recapitator". If nothing happens when you chop, fixing add-ons that do not work covers the usual causes.
Trade-offs
The felling is automatic, so you must remember to sneak when you want to take only part of a tree. The page documents no Realms or dedicated hosting support and names no experimental toggles, so try it in a fresh world before adding it to a long-running one.

Questions about Tree Capitator.
3 questions
How do I stop Tree Capitator from cutting the whole tree?
Sneak while you chop. In sneaking mode the addon removes logs block by block instead of felling the complete tree, which is useful when you want to keep part of a tree standing or harvest it selectively.
Does Tree Capitator use up axe durability?
Yes. Durability consumption depends on the number of logs broken. An operator can turn this option off from a settings menu opened with operator privileges, so axes stop wearing down from felling.
Does Tree Capitator work with axes from other addons?
Yes. The addon is described as compatible with other addons, and axes added by those addons can use the tree felling feature. It also handles all available wood types.
