Description

Instant Leaf Decay

Tired of floating leaves after cutting down a tree? Instant Leaf Decay removes them immediately — with style.

No more waiting. No more ugly leaf blobs hovering in the sky. Just clean, satisfying deforestation.

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 — should work with any mod that extends the base LeavesBlock
Server-side — clients don't need the mod installed

Commands

Change any config value live, no file editing needed: /leafdecay set chainDecay true /leafdecay set chainDelay 3 /leafdecay set soundChance 0.5 /leafdecay set particleType composter /leafdecay set extraSaplingChance 2.0 /leafdecay reload

Full command list and options in the README on GitHub.

Note: Commands are currently open to all players. On multiplayer servers, use a permission mod like LuckPerms to restrict them to staff.
