Leaves Be Gone

Source-provided project description. FreeMinecraftMods keeps creator credit and adds separate compatibility and decision guidance below.

Project overview

          Leaves Be Gone makes leaves decay almost instantly after a tree has been chopped down. 🍃 Instead of waiting around for leaves to slowly disappear, the entire canopy is typically gone within about a second, leaving behind any saplings, sticks, or fruit without the clutter. What makes this mod stand out is its focus on performance and compatibility. It works automatically with most modded leaves, relies on Minecraft's own leaf decay mechanics, and avoids the extra calculations many similar mods perform. ⚡ Simple, fast, and highly configurable, it's a lightweight improvement that makes gathering wood feel much smoother. 🌳 🍃 Rapid Leaf Decay: Leaves begin decaying almost immediately after a tree is cut down and are typically gone within about a second. ⚡ Built for Performance: Hooks directly into Minecraft's existing leaf decay system without performing unnecessary extra calculations. 🧩 Automatic Mod Compatibility: Supports most modded leaves out of the box through the standard minecraft:leaves tag. 🌳 Works With Custom Trees: Compatible even with many leaves implementations that do not directly extend vanilla leaf blocks. 💾 Reliable Across Reloads: Uses Minecraft's native scheduled tick system, allowing leaf decay to continue correctly after chunk unloads and reloads. ⚙️ Configurable Timing: Customize how quickly leaves start decaying and how long the process takes. 🍂 Flexible Decay Rules: Optionally allow leaves to decay even when connected to different leaf types. ⏩ INSTALLATION REQUIRED ON SERVER ⏩ REQUIRES PUZZLES LIB TO BE INSTALLED (FABRIC & NEOFORGE) ⏩ REQUIRES FABRIC API TO BE INSTALLED (FABRIC) ⏩ REQUIRES FORGE CONFIG API PORT TO BE INSTALLED (FABRIC) If available for a mod, configuration is possible directly from in-game using the mod menu (requires Mod Menu by Prospector to be installed on Fabric). For manual configuration using an external text editor all files are found at .minecraft/config , named as MOD_ID-client.toml , MOD_ID-common.toml , or MOD_ID-server.toml , depending on the type of config. Not all types might exist for a mod, if any at all.               

FreeMinecraftMods decision guide

This mod is most relevant to players looking for Utility & QoL, Server Utility on Fabric, NeoForge, Forge. Treat those labels as discovery hints, then verify the exact file and dependency list on the official project page.

The source record was updated on Jun 17, 2026, which is a recent freshness signal. A recent date does not guarantee support for every loader or Minecraft version, so still inspect the current file list.

What to verify before choosing a file

• Confirm that the file is published by the credited creator on the linked official source.
• Match the Minecraft version exactly instead of relying only on a broad category label.
• Read dependencies, incompatibilities, and changelog notes before updating an existing instance.
• Match the loader or server platform and its required version. Forge and NeoForge are not interchangeable.
• Back up worlds and configuration files before testing the project in a long-term save or public server.
