Tree clearing feels cleaner and faster with Accelerated Decay Mod, especially if you want leaves gone as soon as the trunk is finished. Instead of waiting through the normal decay process, the mod removes connected leaves immediately after the last supporting log is broken, cutting down visual clutter and reducing the gradual leaf updates that can affect both client and server performance.
Key Features
- Instant leaf removal: when the last supporting log is broken, connected leaves disappear right away instead of decaying over time.
- Performance-focused behavior: by removing the gradual decay process, the mod is designed to reduce the client and server lag associated with leaf updates.
- Broad loader support: available across NeoForge, Forge, Fabric, and Quilt, with download entries covering Minecraft 1.16.5 through 1.20.6.
