This NeoForge mod for Minecraft 1.20.x adds a neat little particle effect to leaf blocks. Users can configure which types of leaf blocks will drop leaves and the frequency that these leaves are dropped at.

Versions until 1.20.1 require Minecraft Forge.

For every leaf block you can configure spawn rate, leaf type and if it is a conifer block. This is done by modifying/creating the file assets/<modid>/fallingleaves/settings/<blockid>.json with the following content:

{
  "spawnrate": <double>,
  "leaf_type": <leaftype>,
  "consider_as_conifer": <boolean>
}

The leaf type supports the default values fallingleaves:default and fallingleaves:conifer or add a new one.
the conifer setting is only relevant if no leaf type is set or for different spawn rates for normal and conifer leaves.

If no leaf type is set, the mod checks if there is a custom leaf type with the same name as the block id. If not either fallingleaves:default or fallingleaves:conifer is used depending on the consider_as_conifer value

All textures in the assets/fallingleaves/textures/particle folder can simply be overwritten by a resource pack.

Leaf types define the textures that can be used for the leaves. By default, there are two leaf types: fallingleaves:default and fallingleaves:conifer.

You can create a file assets/<modid>/fallingleaves/leaftypes/<type>.json with the following content:

{
  "textures": [
    "<modid>:<particle texture>",
    "<modid>:<particle texture>",
    "<modid>:<particle texture>",
    "<modid>:<particle texture>"
  ]
}

The value fallingleaves:falling_leaf_1 will map to the texture assets/fallingleaves/textures/particle/falling_leaf_1.png.

Creating the type assets/byg/fallingleaves/leaftypes/pink_cherry_leaves.json will be automatically used for the block byg:pink_cherry_leaves without the need to create a settings file.
