Leaves Tweaks
by aurum
Leaves Tweaks is a datapack that adds crafting recipes for leaf blocks, letting players combine items into new leaf variants in the world.
What it does
Crafting a leaf block from simple item combinations gives players a set of leaf variants beyond the vanilla ones. Crossbreed leaves can be crafted, so trees in a world can take on new looks. The content is delivered as a data pack rather than a Java mod, so it does not replace or change any code.
Installation means placing the file in the datapacks folder of a world save. Leaves Tweaks also has additional dependencies required, which the author lists in the setup notes, so the world needs them before the recipes load. The pack is available for the data pack platform across game versions 1.13 – 26.3, and the Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt loaders are listed for the same range.
Leaves Tweaks is server required and client optional: the server must load the pack for the recipes to exist, while players may leave it out. The mod is released under All rights reserved and is not open source. Files for the Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt loaders were last updated on 2025-10-04 for 1.21.1, and the project was first published on 2024-02-27.
Key features
Leaf crafting recipes
New leaf blocks are made by combining simple items in a crafting grid, with no commands or special tools.
Crossbreed leaves
Crossbreed leaves are a craftable category, so a player can start growing new leaf types on existing trees.
Varied leaf sets
The pack lists a range of leaf variants, each made from a different item combination.
Datapack installation
The pack is placed in the datapacks folder of a world save, and no mod file needs to be installed.
