Extended Leaves
by Andriyko69
Extended Leaves raises the maximum distance at which leaves decay away from logs, a limit that vanilla Minecraft sets at 7 blocks.
What it does
Vanilla leaves stop decaying once they sit more than 7 blocks from a log, which keeps large trees from leaving leftover foliage behind. The mod extends that limit, and the new distance can be set in its configuration. The vanilla decay behavior is otherwise left unchanged, and only the supported decay range is altered. Extended Leaves runs on client and server, so both the server and every player need it. It is published for NeoForge 1.21.1 under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later, and the code is open source.
