Leaf Decay Instant
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
