I think the log type selection is too broad. I had a cherry tree growing next to my house which had oak logs as part of the construction. Cutting down the cherry tree removed all connected log blocks in my house, even though it is not the same kind.

It would be nice if the functionality, at least for vanilla trees, wouldn't spread to other log types to avoid these types of disasters.

Im very sorry about that, i can maybe add a option to disable it from affecting other trees of another type of wood.
