FastLeafDecay

Leaves normally hang around for a while after you cut down a tree. This plugin makes them fall off right after the last log is gone, with a bit of particles and sound so it doesn't look like they just vanish.

How it works

When a log is broken, the plugin looks at the area around it and finds leaves that are no longer connected to any log. Those leaves are then removed in small batches, in random order. Leaves that belong to a nearby tree stay, and leaves placed by players are never touched.

Features

• Fast decay after a tree is chopped down
• Normal drops (saplings, sticks, apples), Fortune is supported
• Particles and sounds, each can be turned off
• Slight slowdown while you stand inside decaying leaves

• Update notification in console
