Best way to collect wood without turning your world into an ecological wasteland (especially since trees don't respawn but branches do).

Unless your on a server with a lot of people having a dedicated Logging area with a portal to it some distance away to a Black Forest will provide you will most of the wood you'll ever need and for that last lil bit of Fine wood you just cherry pick the trees as you need/find them. Add to the fact that you can plant tree seeds so you can eventually "reforest" a cleared area
