Java mod listed for Minecraft 1.20. Downloads from the MC Java Mods app on Android.
⬇ Download on CurseForgeThe author built this one for Minecraft 1.20.1 on Forge. On other versions it may install and then do nothing.
The process of making planks in minecraft is usually very forgettable, all you do is go chop down a tree, throw it into your crafting menu, and then go about your day. But what if you wanted that process to be a little more challenging? That is the goal of this mod.
Punching trees still works as normal, but attempting to put a log into a crafting table on its own will yield no results, what you have to do is first, find some gravel, get some flint, break some leaves or bushes for sticks, and craft a flint handsaw.

After which, you must take your log, and put it into the crafting grid with your saw. Doing this will give you 6 planks of whatever log you had, four planks gives you one plank block and bada-bing bada-boom, you have yourself one block of planks... looks like you better get to choppin'!
