Leaf litter nerfed

by Oleg4260

Leaf litter nerfed changes how much burning time leaf litter gives in a furnace, so it no longer works as an overpowered fuel.

FabricServer required, client optionalMIT LicenseOpen source1.21.5

What it does

Vanilla leaf litter can be gathered without much effort and can be smelted from as few as two pieces, which lets it act as a cheap fuel that outperforms wood and sticks. This Fabric mod reduces the burning time of leaf litter, and it changes the smelting ratio so that eight leaf litter produce one item. The mod requires Fabric API and is released under the MIT License as open source for 1.21.5, with the latest Fabric file at 1.0.1 from 2025-04-02.

Key features

  1. Lower leaf litter burn time

    Leaf litter burns for a shorter time in furnaces, so it no longer outlasts other common fuels.

  2. Eight leaf litter per smelt

    The smelting recipe takes eight leaf litter to produce one item, replacing the cheaper two-piece ratio.

  3. Single narrow change

    The mod does one thing, and leaves the rest of the fuel and smelting behavior untouched.

How it compares

Full comparison

Podzol Litter is a Fabric mod for 1.21.5 – 1.21.11, open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later, and it is needed only on the server, so players can join without it. Less Leaf Litter covers Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt across 1.21.5 – 26.2, is not open source, and works on the server while players may add it. Better Leaf Litter covers the same loaders for 1.21.5 – 26.3 under the MIT License, and it is not open source either; the server needs it while clients can leave it out.

What the author says

In vanilla Minecraft, leaf litter is very easy to obtain and it takes only 2 leaf litter to smelt an item in a furnace, making other types of fuel, like wood and sticks practically useless. This mod does one simple thing - reduces the burning time of leaf litter so now it takes 8 leaf litter to smelt 1 item. This mod…
