Accelerated Decay is a mod by ErrorMikey that removes leaf blocks faster after the tree they were attached to has been chopped down. The mod adds no items, no blocks and no GUI. It is a pure quality-of-life tweak to vanilla tree-chopping.

What it does

When a player breaks the last log that was holding up a section of tree, vanilla Minecraft eventually flags the orphaned leaves as ready to decay and removes them over the next several seconds at random. Accelerated Decay watches for those same flagged leaves and removes them in batches of five per server tick, so a freshly chopped tree's foliage clears within roughly a second instead of trickling away.

The mod hooks into vanilla's own decay logic rather than ticking the leaf blocks faster, so the removal still produces the regular drops (saplings, sticks, apples, modded leaf drops) and plays the standard breaking particles for the first leaf in each batch.

Compatibility

The mod works on any block tagged as #minecraft:leaves and any block tagged as #minecraft:logs. Modded trees that follow the vanilla tag convention are picked up automatically, so the same fast-decay behavior applies to leaves from other tree mods without any extra setup.

The mod relies on the Architectury API for its event hooks, which has to be installed alongside it.

Configuration

Accelerated Decay does not ship with a configuration file. The behavior is either on, when the mod is installed, or off, when it is not. There is no in-game toggle and no per-world setting; removing the mod is the only way to disable the effect.
