I noticed you removed the config option to disable the "realistic" log crafting mechanics. I do like the mechanic; however, it's not compatible with modded axes and therefor is extremely awkward when using this mod in a modpack..

You can fix this using the override_axes and override_pickaxes tags

Also, the tools from Mowzies Mobs as well as other mods are not usable as they have the "The item is too blunt to use" tooltip.
