Leaves Us In Peace
Leaves Us In Peace changes how leaves decay after logs are cut, so leaf blocks break faster and more predictably than vanilla.
What it does
The mod decides whether leaves decay by checking the log tree they hang from. Leaves ignore logs of different tree types, so a mixed or unusual tree can still lose its canopy cleanly. Unknown leaves only match themselves, and leaf blocks can be added to the decay tags by mod authors and data pack makers, so compatible tree mods join the same behavior.
The behavior is data driven and configurable. The default settings match identical leaves only, while the options can make the decay rules broader. Azaleas, which have two types of leaves, are handled by the mod too, and persistent leaves can be ignored. Optional break sounds and particles can be switched on to make the decay easier to notice.
The mod started as a fork of Tfarcenim's LeafMeAlone and was reworked into a largely different mod. It works on servers and in single player, runs on Fabric and Quilt, and needs Fabric API. Files exist for 1.18 – 26.3, and the latest build targets 26.3. MidnightLib and Mod Menu are optional, and the options use default values when MidnightLib is absent.
Key features
Tag-based leaf matching
Leaves are matched through a tag, so the decay check recognizes the leaves that the tag lists.
Configurable decay rules
Several rules decide how leaves decay, and the defaults can be changed in the configuration.
Persistent leaves option
Persistent leaves can be excluded from decay, so trees placed with that flag keep their canopy.
Break sounds and particles
Leaf breaks can play sounds and create particles, which makes decay easier to notice.

What the author says
This mod aims to make leaf decay less frustrating. It started out as a fork of Tfarcenim's LeafMeAlone, but then I overhauled it to the point of it being an almost entirely different mod.
