Swift Leaf Decay [26.2]

Creator notes

This datapack quickly removes leftover leaves after a tree has been cut down, keeping your world clean and natural without long wait times. Instead of scanning the entire world, the datapack works dynamically around active players. It checks nearby leaf blocks in small phases, ensuring that all tree types are handled correctly while maintaining smooth performance. This approach allows full coverage of tree canopies without causing lag or heavy server load. Leaves that are no longer connected to logs will decay rapidly under vanilla behavior, meaning all normal drops, such as saplings and sticks, are preserved. Trees that are still intact remain unaffected. The datapack runs entirely in the background with no configuration required. It is designed to feel like a natural extension of the game, improving gameplay flow while staying true to Minecraft mechanics.
