Controlled Leaf Decay
by alchemyyy
Controlled Leaf Decay gives server owners control over how leaves decay, and it can be changed while the server runs.
What it does
The mod changes leaf decay, the process that removes leaves left without a nearby log. A typical use is to speed up decay so that leaves clear faster after trees are cut. The config reloads live through a command, so changes take effect without a restart. Only the server needs it; players join without installing anything. It is published for NeoForge 1.21.1 and released under the MIT License as open source.
Key features
Adjustable leaf decay
Decay behavior is controlled through the server config, letting owners speed leaves up or otherwise change their removal.
Live config reloading
A command reloads the config while the server is running, so edits apply without a restart.
Planned decay functions
The author plans to add alternative decay probability distributions, and possibly expression-based rules, in later versions.
Compatibility
Latest build for each game version and loader.
Only full game releases are shown. This mod publishes no snapshot builds.

What the author says
The config is simple. config/controlledleafdecay.json lets you specify minimum and maximum times in ticks that it takes for leaves to decay. In the future I'm planning to add different decay probability functions / distributions, and maybe even an expression parser.
