The chainsaw is a fast tool for harvesting wood. It functions as an axe that never breaks, but it requires energy to run. It can also be used as a sword.
Info
The old world will burn in the fires of industry. The forests will fall, and nature must make way for progress! Oritech Inc reminds you that any resemblance to the ramblings of corrupt wizards is purely coincidental, and we are definitely not planning to strip-mine Fangorn Forest.
How to use
Charge the chainsaw in a charger or by wearing an exo chestplate. If it runs out of energy, it becomes very slow.
Tree Felling
If you hold Shift while mining a log, the chainsaw will chop down the whole tree at once. This uses more energy for every block cleared.
Combat
The chainsaw counts as a sword, so you can use it to fight mobs. It is also very fast at clearing cobwebs.
Warning
The chainsaw is unbreakable, but it only works at full speed when it has energy.
Enchanting
You can use standard axe and sword enchantments like Efficiency, Sharpness, Silk Touch, and Fortune. Using Unbreaking will reduce the energy used for each operation.
