Version: minecolonies-0.10.493-RELEASE-universal

Expected behavior

Lumberjack chops down trees.

Actual behaviour

They look like they are chopping wood but with a sapling and it's the leaves that appear to be being chopped (although not in their inventory).

Steps to reproduce the problem

It started with the lumberjack holding a sapling and just walking backwards and forwards near the hut. I tried removing all saplings from their inventory but it made no difference. They had an axe in their inventory. So I fired them and re-hired them.
This stopped their walking problem and they went to the trees to chop them. However, after an hour or so, I went to collect the wood from them. There was none. When I looked closer, I could see the lumberjack was still holding a sapling and bits were coming off the leaves not the wood.

I am now going to try and fire this lumberjack and hire a different one to see if they will actually chop wood. If they don't, I will add more to this issue.

Is there no wood in a rack or chest or so in their building?

No, none. And I have just hired someone else, given them axes, and they have gone to the same tree with wheat seeds in hand, chopping leaves! So lumberjack is useless right now.

I will say that after the hut was built, they did chop some wood, but only for a few hours before this behaviour started.

Did you add any mod which changes trees or leafes?

No I have added no mods since starting this world. I do had other mods, and a resource pack that changes the look of things called something like Winthor Medieval, but would a resource pack interfere?

P.S. Could you take a look at issue #4077 because it is getting to be a major pain, but not like this one (I don't think they are related either).

Any news on this?

Weekend is close, allowing me to look at this.

No problem :)

I can't reproduce this, for me the lumberjack is cutting down trees nicely

I'm having the exact same issue.
My lumberjack actually had 21 Wood on him and tried to place it in the job site inventory.
I could see it disappearing from his inventory, but nothing in the job site inventory.

I am using the following other mods (in case one of these is interfering) -

And the resource pack I mentioned earlier.

Like I said, I had been playing a few hours before this behaviour started.

I updated the mine colonies version to the newest alpha.
After I checked the lumberjack and it put some wood in the inventory.
The problem is less with cutting down, but more with him not retaining wood.

I'm using these mods

Just another update.
I monitored with the 567 version and the problem disappeared.

I installed the latest alpha (574) and I thought it was fixed, but then it started to happen again after about 3 hours play :(

Any news on this please?

I improved some code surrounding it in the latest alphas, but I couldn't reproduce this under any circumstances. I was playing for 6h and more.
