Passable Leaves + BYG Compatibility (1.12.2)

Makes BYG's leaves behave like normal Minecraft leaves under the Passable Leaves mod.
You can walk through them, get slowed down slightly, and hear rustling sounds.

Requirements

• Passable Leaves 2.0.0+  
• Oh The Biomes You’ll Go (BYG) 1.8.0.1  (I recommend this fork: https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods/biomes-youll-go-1-12-2-fixed)
• MixinBooter 10.6+

How It Works

This mod adds a Mixin that adjusts BYG’s MCreator leaf blocks to match real leaves:

• Removes their solid collision box  
• Sets them to render in the correct leaf layer  
• Lets Passable Leaves’ slowdown/sound effects apply normally

The Sonoran Cactus won't work so don't bother with that. I recommend turning off the cactus in the BF config completely for consistency, looks better anyway.
