Tired of floating leaves after cutting down a tree? Leaf Decay Instant removes them immediately — no more ugly leaf blobs hovering in the sky.

Features

• Instant decay — leaves disappear the moment they lose connection to a log
• Chain decay mode — watch leaves cascade in a satisfying wave from the trunk outwards
• Extra drops — configurable bonus chance for saplings, sticks, and apples
• Sound variety — multiple break sounds with configurable chance and pitch
• Particle options — choose between leaf texture, composter, or happy villager particles
• In-game commands — change any setting at runtime with /leafdecay set <option> <value>
• Performance friendly — uses Minecraft's native tick system, minimal overhead
• Highly configurable — 20+ options to tune the mod to your taste
• Mod compatible — works with any mod that extends the base LeavesBlock
• Server-side — clients don't need the mod installed
