![](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/RHX0R3/RHLeafDecay/refs/heads/main/rhleafdecay_paper.png) With RHLeafDecay all your floating leaves will disappear in no time. This plugin supersedes its [Spigot](https://www.spigotmc.org/resources/%E2%98%84%EF%B8%8F-rhleafdecay-fast-and-smooth-leaf-decay-1-20-6-1-21-x.83581/) version.

**Single Mode**: → Breaks leaves one by one for a slower, more natural decay. ## Customizable Tick Rates break (Default: 8) → Controls the delay between leaf decay events.
check (Default: 4) → Defines how often the plugin checks for decaying leaves.
⚠️ Note: The break tick rate should never be below 5 to avoid performance issues! ## Additional Effects **Drops:** → Leaves can drop items when they decay.
**Particles:** → Adds visual effects to the leaf decay process.
**Sounds:** → Plays sound effects for a more immersive experience. ## World Filtering **Whitelist:** → Decay occurs only in specified worlds.
**Blacklist:** → Leaves will not decay in excluded worlds. # What does it look like in-game? ![](https://youtu.be/QmutQwsUZs0) # Custom trees? World generators? **RHLeafDecay** relies on Minecraft’s natural leaf decay. For it to work, leaves must be recognized as part of a tree and not be persistent.

✅ Vanilla trees work because their leaves naturally decay after the trunk is removed.
⚠️ Custom trees and world generators cause two major issues:
```` - Leaves never decay if marked persistent → RHLeafDecay can’t remove them. - Leaves vanish instantly if attached to a block that isn’t recognized as a tree trunk. ```` ## Why does this happen? **RHLeafDecay** checks if leaves are linked to a valid trunk before triggering decay. Many world generators mark leaves as persistent to prevent unwanted decay. Custom trees may use non-standard materials for trunks, making them unrecognizable to the plugin. ## What can I do? **RHLeafDecay** only works with non-persistent leaves and standard tree trunks. You can manually fix leaves using `/data merge block {persistent:false}`, but this isn’t practical on a large scale.
If your world relies heavily on custom trees, **RHLeafDecay** won’t work as expected. ## Conclusion If leaves aren’t detected as part of a real tree or are persistent, they either won’t decay at all or will disappear too quickly. For the best experience, use Vanilla trees with standard leaves. 🌿 # Support If you need help with **RHLeafDecay**, you can join the [RaidersHeaven server](https://raidersheaven.eu/discord/) on Discord.
