Hello! I would like to suggest a plugin (or datapack) that basically once you cut a portion of a tree, it takes the whole tree down! There's a lot advantages to it since most plugins break the axes in the same way as you would if you cut one block at a time, so no cheating in any way and it will eliminate the "hanging trees"(trees that are too high to break and you just leave them) around the map. You can find me on the game with the name KatyaGlitterpuff Example of plugin: https://www.planetminecraft.com/data-pack/treecapitator-datapack-1-13/
That’s not semi-vanilla. Also there’s pretty much no point even if you can’t get the wood. You can build up to the remaining wood and get that, so this plugin wouldn’t be needed.
