Separated Leaves
Separated Leaves makes leaves stick only to the log type they grew from, so cutting one tree does not clear leaves of a different kind beside it.
What it does
When a tree is chopped, leaves connected only to the removed log type decay, while leaves of other types next to it remain. For example, Oak Leaves beside a Birch Tree will despawn after the Oak Tree falls, even though they touched the Birch Tree. The effect helps when building a tree farm, since any log type can be placed in a build without its leaves attaching to nearby walls.
The mod runs on the server only, so players join without installing it. Builds exist for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge across 17 release versions, 1.18 – 1.21.5, and Architectury API is required on every loader, with Fabric API also needed on Fabric. The code is not open source; All rights reserved applies. Compatibility for other mods can be added through data packs, and the source code, issue tracker and wiki are public.

This means that, for instance, after you chop down an Oak Tree standing next to a Birch Tree, all Oak Leaves will despawn even though they were connected to the Birch Tree. This is also useful when, for example, decorating a tree farm, because you can use any…
