Tree plus mod

I do not really like the standard trees in minetest. I was thinking how to improve them, and wrote a small mod. It allows you to climb up through the leaves, as the ladder, making the tree trunk rounded, lets cut the tree, pull up the lower unit. Besides trees, hanging in the air, will collapse.

Your description is sort of hard to understand, could you try to explain better? And if there are visible changes, screenshots?

it appears you can pass through leaves, the tree is rounded and there is some functionality like the timber mod here

why not make leaves climbable? Then we can put a ladder next to a tree and climb to the top...

Nice!

Tips:
You could use the cylinder code from my irregular 3d objects mod to make the trunk look even better:

For those who want the wood to fall down, but don't want to install all these improvements, have a look at my Timber mod:

Thankyou. I used your code, but with him having a bit of lag. So I made two versions: regular and super round.
