How to Remove Floating Trees in WorldEdit with the Floating Tree Remover

Published in WorldEdit Tree Removal 3 mins read

To get rid of floating trees in WorldEdit, you can use the Floating tree remover tool by right-clicking specific blocks.

The Floating tree remover is a specialized tool within WorldEdit designed specifically for clearing away trees that are not attached to the ground or other stable blocks. This is particularly useful for cleanup after terrain generation or edits that leave floating tree remnants.

Using the Floating Tree Remover

Getting started with this tool is straightforward. You don't need complex commands; you just need to equip the tool (often assigned to a specific item, which can vary depending on server configuration, but commonly axes) and interact with the target blocks.

Here's how it works according to the reference:

  • Tool Activation: Use the item assigned to the "Floating tree remover" tool.
  • Target Blocks: Right-click on one of the following block types that is part of a floating tree:
    • Floating leaf block
    • Floating log block
    • Floating mushroom block (for giant mushrooms)
  • Action: Upon right-clicking a valid floating block, the tool will automatically detect and remove all connected floating blocks that are considered part of that tree structure.

Important Considerations

It's crucial to understand the limitations of this specific tool based on the reference provided:

  • Floating Trees Only: The Floating tree remover tool will not operate on trees that are still connected to something (such as the ground). If a tree's trunk or root system is connected to the terrain or another static structure, this tool will have no effect.
  • Connected Blocks: It removes all connected floating tree blocks, meaning it tackles the whole floating structure associated with the block you click.

This tool is a convenient way to clean up floating tree debris quickly without manually breaking each block or using more general-purpose selection and deletion commands.

By utilizing the Floating tree remover and right-clicking a floating leaf, log, or mushroom block, you can efficiently clear away unwanted floating tree structures in your WorldEdit projects.
