...How would sideways logs make the game harder?

tree felling and having trees be harvested differently as opposed to PUNCH WUD AQUIR LOG.

Oh, no, I think people are misunderstanding

The "downed tree" was simply a presentation method for the sideways log blocks, trees don't fall over lol

for once i thought minecraft trees would have a bit of realism
too much to ask /flipdesk

[Regulith]

Didn't realize it could be taken that way until you said that, I probably should have specified exactly what was being showcased there

Found a little explanation by the man himself:

Trees won't fall over. It'd be too complicated to add and require a lot of work - not to mention the logic issues (what if something is in its way? Does it destroy anything in its path, or lean on them? We don't have sloping blocks, it can't just lean, and it'd look silly any other way).

I may add naturally fallen trees, but this was indeed just a nice little example I thought would showcase the oriented logs.

[Regulith]

[Menen]

it goes from "wow, trees fall now" to "they added a new decorative block."

Large trees won't look handicapped anymore, and dinnerbone was done with all the bugs he was assigned to fix in the current version anyway

Seriously though think about it, even if the logic aspect was figured out (assuming it's as complicated as he claimed) an animation for a falling tree would look weird as hell in Minecraft and it'd look even worse if it just suddenly appeared on the ground

Having "realistic trees" is really the least of our worries about the game right now

trees will still look handicapped because they  will still end up having joints like this

i want more wool blocks so i can do pixel art

[Awdax]

Well that sucks. I was hoping that would solve my large tree problem; where if they just fell over, I could just easily collect the logs.
