oSzoukaua's: Leaf Litter

When a tree's leaf blocks decay, the loot tables for those blocks drop a unique leaf litter item, and cherry leaves drop pink petals. The drops are placed as ground blocks, so the effect is visible on the ground around trees rather than only as items in inventory.

Each litter or petal piece is shown with a tiny invisible armour stand that carries a block display. The display is randomly rotated and falls once to the ground, and a placement attempt can add to a pile of nearby litter or petal blocks instead of creating a new one. Trees carrying custom data are replaced when they are deleted, so the mod works with trees that already have that tag.

The mod is a server-side datapack, so the server must run it while players may leave it out of their installs.
