Overview

Rapid Leaf Decay is a streamlined utility mod designed to solve one of Minecraft's most common annoyances: lingering foliage. In vanilla Minecraft, leaves can take several minutes to decay after their supporting logs are removed. This mod significantly accelerates that process, causing leaves to disappear within seconds of a tree being felled.

Key features include: * Instantaneous Feedback: Leaves begin decaying almost immediately after the last log is broken. * Server-Side Only: The mod only needs to be installed on the server. Clients do not need the mod to see the effects, making it ideal for public and private multiplayer servers. * Drop Integrity: The mod does not change the loot tables of leaves. You will still receive the standard amount of saplings, apples, and sticks as if the leaves had decayed naturally. * Mod Compatibility: It automatically supports any leaf block from other mods (such as Biomes O' Plenty or Twilight Forest) as long as they are correctly tagged with the minecraft:leaves block tag.

Frequently asked questions

How do I make leaves decay faster?
Leaves decay rapidly by default as soon as you remove all connected logs from a tree. If you want them to decay even faster or adjust the delay, open the config file at serverconfig/rapid_leaf_decay-server.toml in your world folder and modify the decay interval setting.
Can I make leaves decay slower or disable the mod for certain trees?
You can adjust the decay speed through the config file, but the mod applies to all leaves with the minecraft:leaves tag automatically. If you need leaves to persist in specific areas, you may need to use a different approach like protecting those blocks with another mod's protection system.
Does this mod work with leaves from other mods like Biomes o' Plenty?
Yes, as long as those mod leaves have the minecraft:leaves tag, Rapid Leaf Decay will apply to them automatically with no extra setup needed. This includes leaves from mods like Biomes o' Plenty, Terrestria, and most other tree-adding mods.
Do I need to install this mod on the client or just the server?
You only need to install it on the server; clients do not need the mod installed to see the rapid decay effect. This makes it easy to add to multiplayer servers without requiring all players to update their game.
