Archived The Problem With Trees

[Apollotommy]

For a long time I have been finding leaves floating in the air in beautiful worlds, such as, Ellador and Ithania. This problem is ruining the amazing views of Massivecraft. So, I have wondered whether the server should get hold of a tree plugin. Now I don't know many (only one) however I do know one called TreeAssist. These are the features:

<> The tree falls after having its bottom block removed by an axe.
<>All leaves remove very quickly.
<>A sapling spawns where the tree just was to keep up the tree population in the forest.
===================================================================
I would suggest getting a plugin like this for these reasons:

<>Keeps worlds beautiful.
<>Stop's people from just cutting down a few blocks
<> Stop the extinction of forests

However, problems may occur like:

<>Cost of wood will go down due to less work in getting wood
<>Might not work Because of Custom Terrain

This Suggestion is purely an idea and a point of view from my perspective. Feel free to agree or disagree to this suggestion, however, if your going to agree/disagree explain why you do so.

This is achieved using Tree Feller, a part of mcMMO.

Tree feller does not usually destroy all the leaves.

I this this is a good idea except for the sapling respawn. It doesnt really make sense RP wise and could be annoying game play wise. If people want trees they can plant them. If a sapling was to respawn it would be harder to clear land. Also this plugin would not really be needed if leaves de spawned when they were not connected to wood like in sp survival.

Leaves do despawn when not connected to wood after felling a tree, the most common problems are when the chunk is unloaded because the player moves and the despawn process halts, or that the player leaves some wood, so the leaves don't despawn. I can think of two ways to address this. Increase the rate at which leaves despawn after felling a tree, and/or have a mod that runs daily that removes all leaves that are not touching anything except air. The ideal would be that each player just makes sure that the leaves are removed, but with lag and rollback, I have returned to find leaves that I have removed back again.

They do despawn, just cutdown the wood and sit and watch the leaves for a while

actually the server has a pluggin that takes away leaf decay, though sometimes its known to glitch and not work.

I believe that the leaves decay naturally, although maybe the process may be slowed, maybe from that plugin you were talking about, or just from plain lag. Either way, leaves that are player placed will not decay.

Treeassist:
-been tested before, works for small and middle sized servers.
-does not properly work with BO2's
-does give everyone tons of wood instantly

coclusion: no, we will not install it.

Leaves:
If a chunk get's unloaded ( which it does when noone is near) the leaves stay as they are until someone is near again. This problem cannot bebsolved because it is a native minecraft problem. We appeal on people so they remove the floating things themself.
