What does it look like in-game?

Custom trees? World generators?

RHLeafDecay relies on Minecraft’s natural leaf decay. For it to work, leaves must be recognized as part of a tree and not be persistent.

✅ Vanilla trees work because their leaves naturally decay after the trunk is removed.

⚠️ Custom trees and world generators cause two major issues:

- Leaves never decay if marked persistent  →  RHLeafDecay can’t remove them.
- Leaves vanish instantly if attached to a block that isn’t recognized as a tree trunk.

Why does this happen?

RHLeafDecay checks if leaves are linked to a valid trunk before triggering decay. Many world generators mark leaves as persistent to prevent unwanted decay. Custom trees may use non-standard materials for trunks, making them unrecognizable to the plugin.

What can I do?

RHLeafDecay only works with non-persistent leaves and standard tree trunks.
You can manually fix leaves using /data merge block {persistent:false}, but this isn’t practical on a large scale.

If your world relies heavily on custom trees, RHLeafDecay won’t work as expected.

Conclusion

If leaves aren’t detected as part of a real tree or are persistent, they either won’t decay at all or will disappear too quickly. For the best experience, use Vanilla trees with standard leaves.
