Description

Leaf Decay Instant

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
