Rake Tool
by exline
Rake Tool adds four rakes that clear leaf litter and dead bushes in a square area around the block a player targets.
What it does
Each rake is crafted from the material it is named for, and right-clicking a block with it removes the leaf piles and dead bushes around that spot in one action. The area grows with the material: an iron rake clears a 3×3 square, a golden rake 5×5, a diamond rake 7×7 and a netherite rake 9×9. The rakes are meant for tidying up leaf-covered ground without clearing each pile by hand.
The rakes are described by the author as never breaking, so durability does not limit their use. The mod is for Fabric only and is published for two release versions, 1.21.5 and 1.21.8. Client and server both need it, so a server that runs the mod requires every player to install it as well. Rake Tool is released into the public domain under CC0 1.0 Universal, and its source code is public.
Key features
Four rake tiers
Iron, golden, diamond and netherite rakes each clear a larger square area than the tier below it.
Instant leaf removal
Leaf piles and dead bushes around the targeted block are removed at once when the rake is used.
Unbreakable rakes
The rakes do not wear out, so a single craft lasts for as long as a player needs it.
Dead bush collection
Dead bushes in the cleared area are picked up along with leaf litter, not only leaf piles.

Who it’s for: Players who want to clean up leaf litter and dead bushes quickly on Fabric, and server owners who run the mod for their community.
How it compares
Leaf litter nerfed is server-side on Fabric for 1.21.5, with a server-required, client-optional environment and an MIT License. Podzol Litter is server-side only on Fabric for 1.21.5 – 1.21.11 and is open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later. Less Leaf Litter runs across four loaders for 1.21.5 – 26.2 and is not open source, with All rights reserved as its license.

What the author says
I got so annoyed by leaf litter, I spent hours making this mod instead of just ignoring them like a normal person. Now you can craft rakes to scoop up leaf litter and dead bushes in big chunks. Iron does a 3x3 area, gold 5x5, diamond 7x7, and netherite clears a glorious 9x9. It’s overkill. You’re welcome.
