Less Leaf Litter
by Zeyro-p
Less Leaf Litter lowers how often leaf litter drops from broken leaves, so forest floors stay less cluttered.
What it does
Leaf litter drops from leaves at a 12.5% chance, the same rate as vanilla grass seeds. Breaking several litter pieces on one block still applies the reduced chance to each piece, so three pieces yield three drops at that rate. Breaking leaf litter with shears keeps the full normal drop.
The change keeps the leaf litter mechanic in place rather than removing it, so forests stay clean without making the gameplay unfair. The mod is compatible with the Wilder Wilds leaf litter variants. Dependencies are needed, and the server must run the mod, while clients may leave it out. It is published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, with files covering 1.21.5 – 26.2 and snapshot builds included, under All rights reserved and not open source.
