Frequently asked questions

How do I turn on falling leaves after installing the mod?
Falling leaves are enabled by default once you install Sylvan Drift Mod and launch the game. If you don't see them, open your in-game settings screen and check that particle density isn't set to zero, then verify you're in a biome that supports leaf particles like forests or jungles.
Why aren't particles showing up in my world?
Check that your particle density setting isn't turned down too low in the mod's config menu. Also make sure you're standing close enough to trees—particles spawn beneath tree canopies within a limited range. If using a shader pack, try the shader-optimized performance preset to see if that resolves the issue.
Can I use this mod on a vanilla multiplayer server?
Yes, Sylvan Drift Mod runs entirely on the client side, so you can join any vanilla Minecraft server without the server needing the mod installed. Only you will see the particle effects.
Does this mod change how trees look or drop items?
No, Sylvan Drift Mod only adds visual particle effects and doesn't modify tree block models, wood drops, or any core gameplay mechanics. Trees function exactly as they do in vanilla Minecraft.
