Falling Leaves Mod — FAQ
Compatibility
Falling Leaves is designed to be highly compatible with the Minecraft ecosystem.
Serene Seasons
The mod features built-in integration with Serene Seasons. The seasonFallRate configuration allows the frequency of falling leaves to change dynamically with the seasons. For example, you can set a higher fall rate during Autumn and a zero fall rate during Winter when trees are bare.
Modded Biomes
- BYG (Oh The Biomes You'll Go): Includes pre-built integrations for various cherry and autumn trees.
- Automatic Detection: The mod attempts to detect if a block is a "leaf" block based on its tags and properties. If a modded leaf block is not dropping particles, it can be manually added via the
settingsJSON files described in the Customization section.
Texture Packs
All textures used by the mod are located in assets/fallingleaves/textures/particle/. Resource pack creators can overwrite these files to change the shape or color of the falling leaves globally.
Troubleshooting
Why are no leaves falling?
- Conifer Settings: By default, conifer trees (Spruce) often have a spawn rate of 0. Check the
coniferLeafSpawnRatein the config. - Space Requirements: Ensure there is at least one block of air beneath the leaves. If the branches are too low to the ground, particles will not spawn.
- Client-Side Check: Ensure the mod is installed in your local
modsfolder. Since it is client-side, it will not show up in server-side mod lists. - Particle Settings: Check your vanilla Minecraft video settings. If particles are set to "Minimal," the number of falling leaves will be significantly reduced or hidden entirely.
