Leaves Be Gone Mod FAQ
16 questions players actually ask, answered.
How do I make leaves disappear instantly after chopping a tree?
Open the mod's config and set the leaf disappearance delay to its minimum value. At the fastest setting, leaves are removed the moment the last log block of the tree is broken, so you can grab drops right away.
Why aren't the leaves disappearing when I chop down a tree?
The mod only triggers when the last connected log block of that tree is broken, so partial chops leave the leaves in place. If you're breaking logs one at a time from the top down, finish the trunk completely and the leaves should clear.
Do I need to enable anything in the config for the mod to work?
Most setups work out of the box, but check that the mod is enabled and that the leaf-clearing feature isn't toggled off in the config file. If you're on a server, the server-side config controls the behavior for everyone.
How do I collect saplings and apples from leaves that vanish?
Drops are generated as the leaves are removed, so walk through the area right after the tree falls and pick up the items. If you have a hopper or collection system nearby, route it under the canopy area to catch saplings, sticks, and apples automatically.
Will I lose saplings or apples if the leaves disappear too fast?
The mod still rolls leaf drops when leaves are removed, so saplings and apples are spawned as items rather than deleted. Just make sure you're close enough to pick them up before they despawn like any other dropped item.
Does this mod work with modded trees from other mods?
It works with any tree whose leaves are registered as minecraft:leaves, which covers most modded trees. If a mod uses a custom leaf block that isn't tagged that way, those leaves won't be cleared.
How do I check if a modded tree's leaves are compatible?
Chop the tree and watch whether the leaves vanish on their own; if they hang in the air, that mod's leaves aren't registered as minecraft:leaves. You can also check the block's tags in-game with a mod like Jade or WAILA to see if it carries the leaves tag.
Can I make leaves disappear slower instead of instantly?
Yes, the config lets you set a delay before leaves are removed, so you can have them linger briefly instead of vanishing the same tick. Increase the delay value to give yourself more time to see the canopy before it clears.
Will this mod help with lag when chopping huge trees?
Yes, because it hooks into the game's tree-decay logic instead of constantly scanning for leaf and log blocks, so there's no per-tick overhead. On massive trees or weaker PCs this avoids the stutter you'd get from other leaf-clearing mods.
Does the mod cause lag on servers with many players chopping trees?
The mod is designed to be lightweight and only runs its check when a tree's last log is broken, so it doesn't add continuous load. Server-side config settings apply to all players, so tune the delay there if you want to reduce item-drop spikes.
What does the Leaves Be Gone Mod do?
It makes tree leaves disappear immediately after you chop down the last block of the tree, so they don't hang in the air. You can also collect leaf drops right away.
How is this mod different from other similar mods?
It lets you customize the speed at which leaves disappear and is highly efficient. It also avoids extra load when calculating leaf blocks for quick destruction.
Does this mod cause lag on weaker PCs?
No, it's designed to be efficient and adds no additional load when calculating leaf blocks. This makes it especially useful for weaker PCs and massive trees.
Can I change how fast the leaves disappear?
Yes, the speed of leaf disappearance can be customized.
Is the mod compatible with other mods that add trees?
Yes, it's compatible with all mods that register tree leaves as minecraft:leaves.
How does the mod remove leaves without constantly checking blocks?
It integrates into specific game functions, allowing leaves to be removed without constantly checking the state of leaf and wood blocks.
