Leaf decay fix
by GOOSEWAREz
Leaf decay fix is a small ModLoader jar mod for Minecraft 1.12.2 that changes how leaves decay after nearby logs are broken.
What it does
Leaves that were placed by a player and never dropped are kept from vanishing when a log next to them is removed, so the tree canopy stays in place. The change is limited to leaf decay and does not alter other block behavior. Installed on both the server and each player's client, the jar works in single-player and multiplayer worlds. Only ModLoader files are published, for 1.12.2, released under the MIT License and not open source.
Key features
Leaf decay correction
Leaves no longer disappear when a nearby log breaks, which is the decay behavior this jar removes.
Shears-harvested leaves
Leaves that were collected with shears keep their place after the trunk beside them is broken.
Small footprint
The jar is a minimal change to the leaf block class, so it touches a single piece of game logic.
