Tree Log Highlight

Tree Log Highlight

Tree Log Highlight is a client-side Fabric mod for Minecraft that enhances your tree-felling experience by visually highlighting all connected log blocks of a tree when you interact with one of its logs. This helps you easily identify and harvest entire trees, including those from other mods.

Features

• Dynamic Wood Type Detection: The mod automatically discovers and adds new wood types (both vanilla and modded) to its configuration as you encounter them in-game. Simply click on a log block, and its type will be registered.
• Configurable Per Wood Type: Each discovered wood type can be individually enabled or disabled through the in-game configuration menu, giving you granular control over which trees are highlighted.
• Discovery Order in Config: Wood types appear in the configuration menu in the exact order they were first discovered, with the oldest discoveries at the top and the newest at the bottom.

• Visual Customization:

  • Render Modes: Choose between highlighting the OUTLINE of logs, filling the FULL block, or displaying BOTH.
  • Colors: Fully customizable main, outline, fill, and text colors. You can also sync all colors to a single main color.
  • Opacity: Adjust the transparency of the fill highlight.
  • Show Through Walls: Option to render highlights even when logs are obstructed by other blocks.
  • Pulsing Effect: Enable a subtle pulsing animation for highlights, with adjustable speed and intensity.

• HUD Elements:

  • Logs Remaining Counter: An optional on-screen display showing how many highlighted logs are left in the current tree.
  • Status Messages: Brief messages appear on-screen when you toggle the mod's enabled state.
• Performance Optimized: Utilizes batch rendering to efficiently draw all highlighted logs in a single pass, ensuring smooth performance even with large trees.
• Mod Compatibility: Designed to work seamlessly with modded trees (e.g., from Biomes O' Plenty) by leveraging standard Minecraft block tags (#minecraft:logs and #minecraft:leaves).
• Keybind Toggle: Easily enable or disable the mod's highlighting functionality with a configurable keybind (default: H).
• Robustness: Includes fixes for rendering stability and ensures configuration changes are saved and loaded correctly.
• Large Tree Support: Increased internal scan limits to accurately highlight even very large modded trees.

How to Use

1. Install: Ensure you have Fabric Loader, Mod Menu, and Cloth Config installed. Place the TreeLogHighlight mod .jar file into your mods folder.
2. Activate: In-game, simply left-click (or start breaking) any log block. The mod will then highlight all connected logs of that tree.
3. Toggle: Press the H key (default) to quickly enable or disable the highlighting feature.
4. Configure: Access the mod's settings through the Mod Menu (usually by pressing Esc -> Mods -> TreeLogHighlight -> Config). Here you can customize colors, render modes, HUD options, and enable/disable highlighting for specific wood types you've discovered.
5. Discover New Wood Types: As you encounter new types of trees (vanilla or modded) and interact with their logs, they will automatically be added to the "Wood Types" section of the config, enabled by default.
