leaf_decay

Tired of floating leaves after cutting down a tree? Leaf Decay Instant removes them immediately — no more ugly leaf blobs hovering in the sky.


Features

  • Instant decay — leaves disappear the moment they lose connection to a log
  • Chain decay mode — watch leaves cascade in a satisfying wave from the trunk outwards
  • Extra drops — configurable bonus chance for saplings, sticks, and apples
  • Sound variety — multiple break sounds with configurable chance and pitch
  • Particle options — choose between leaf texture, composter, or happy villager particles
  • In-game commands — change any setting at runtime with /leafdecay set <option> <value>
  • Performance friendly — uses Minecraft's native tick system, minimal overhead
  • Highly configurable — 20+ options to tune the mod to your taste
  • Mod compatible — works with any mod that extends the base LeavesBlock
  • Server-side — clients don't need the mod installed

Commands

Note: Commands require OP level 2. On multiplayer servers, use LuckPerms to restrict /leafdecay to staff.

/leafdecay set <option> <value>

Examples:

/leafdecay set chainDecay true
/leafdecay set chainDelay 3
