🍂 FallHarder

Autumn, the way it should look.

Vanilla drops one lonely leaf every few seconds. FallHarder turns that into real leaf fall: choose how dense, choose the colours, and let the wind carry it all across the forest. Everything is toggled in-game and saved automatically – no config editing, no resource pack, nothing to install on the server.

✨ Features

• More leaves – 1× (vanilla), 2×, 4×, 8× or 12× density. Every block spawns its own particle, so oak, birch, jungle, acacia, dark oak, mangrove, azalea and modded leaves all keep their proper look.
• Autumn colours – four palettes for the biome-tinted leaves: Autumn mix, Golden, Crimson, Early autumn – or keep Vanilla and only add the wind.
• Wind – all leaves in view drift the same way. The wind direction wanders slowly and gusts sweep through, so the forest breathes instead of raining pixels at random.
• Rustling – soft rustle sounds when you stand near trees, synchronised with the gusts. Built from vanilla leaf sounds, so it fits right in.
• Any leaves – anything that extends vanilla LeavesBlock works, including modded trees.

❓ FAQ

Does it cost FPS? It only adds particles. 4× is invisible on any PC; 12× in a dense jungle on a weak GPU – step down to 8×.

Can I have autumn colours without extra leaves? Yes – set density to 1× and pick a palette.

Can I keep vanilla colours and only add wind? Yes – palette Vanilla, wind on.

Why don't cherry / pale oak leaves change colour? They use their own untinted particles; recolouring pink petals looked wrong, so they stay as they are.

Multiplayer? Fully client-side. Only you see and hear it.
