Immersive Wood Chopping is a Vintage Story mod by NemaxuswarZet. Immersive Wood Chopping replaces grid firewood crafting with a world-based process: place a log and chop it with an axe.
Why this mod is worth installing
This mod suits players who want firewood production to feel like a physical task rather than a recipe. It is also useful for packs that need a more immersive wood-processing routine.
What Immersive Wood Chopping adds
Firewood is made directly in the world. Place a log, equip an axe, and hold the use button to work through it; the block is converted into firewood instead of being processed in the crafting grid.
The behavior applies to logs placed by the player, not to living or naturally generated trees. By default, grid recipes for firewood are disabled, keeping the chopping action as the main way to produce it.
The mod can optionally place the next log from your inventory automatically after one is finished. Axe tier can affect whether a log is split in one swing, and chopping can be set to wear down the tool.
Support is designed to work with axe tools from other mods and with recipes that follow the familiar log-to-firewood pattern. This can extend the interaction to compatible wood blocks, including debarked logs.
Chopping a placed log into firewood
A player uses an axe on a log placed in the world. The mod turns this action into the way firewood is obtained instead of relying on the crafting grid.
