Description
FastLeafDecay
The original server-side only mod that gets rid of those annoying leaves floating in the air!
A simple Minecraft Forge mod that speeds up leaf decay after you cut down the wood in a tree. By default it will only take about five seconds before all leaves are gone.
No configuration required, no client installation either! Simply drop in the jar file in your mods folder (on server if you're playing on a server) or install using the CurseForge client and you are good to go.
Generates no noticable lag since it doesn't try to perform any custom tricks to get rid of the leaves, it just follows the normal Minecraft code for decay.

Requirements
Only servers need to have this mod, so if you're playing on a server that has it installed you will not need to install it on the client. You can have it installed on the client, though it will not have any effect.
Compatibility
This mod will speed up the decay of leaves that either use the leaves blocktag or inherit from LeavesBlock. That means that most modded trees should also work. If you run into issues, please let me know.
Configuration
To configure the decay rates, check out the config in the serverconfigs folder of your world.
Known (compatibility) issues
There are currently no known compatibility issues with this mod.
