Description
🌿 ShatterLeaves : Instant Leaf Decay
Ever get annoyed waiting for leaves to disappear after cutting a tree?
ShatterLeaves fixes that. The moment leaves lose connection to logs, they decay almost instantly no more hanging around waiting for random ticks to do their thing.
It’s a small change, but it makes chopping trees feel way better.
⚡ Features
- Near-instant leaf decay (default: 1 tick)
- Configurable delay (1–20 ticks)
- Works with vanilla + most modded trees
- Respects player-placed (persistent) leaves
- Simple game rule configuration
- Safe for servers and modpacks
⚙️ Configuration
Uses game rules, so it’s super easy to tweak:
- ENABLED → turn the mod on/off
- DELAY → how fast leaves decay (1–20 ticks)
You can change these with commands using:
/gamerule instant_leaf_decay_delay (1-20)
/gamerule instant_leaf_decay_enabled (true/false)
🛠️ Technical Notes (for those who care)
- Hooks into leaf updates when they lose log connection
- Detects standard decay conditions (distance ≥ 7, not persistent)
- Schedules a controlled tick instead of relying on random ticks
- Drops items normally, then removes the block
No new content added just improves vanilla behavior.
📦 Compatibility
- Works in singleplayer and multiplayer
- Supports modded leaves that follow standard behavior
- Lightweight and safe for large modpacks
📜 License
MIT use it however you want in modpacks or projects.

💬 Final Note
This is one of those mods you don’t really think about until you remove it and suddenly trees feel slow again.
