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. ````

<u>Why does this happen?</u>

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.

<u>What can I do?</u>

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 <u>won’t work</u> as expected.

<u>Conclusion</u>

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. 🌿
