About this Mod

When a log is broken, this plugin checks for adjacent leaves and instantly breaks them in a cascade, so you don't have to wait for the leaves to decay at their natural Minecraft rate.

Forked from https://github.com/omega-mc/leaf-decay/ to add new MC version support and clean up code.
