InstaLeafDecay

# 🍃 InstaLeafDecay A Minecraft **Spigot/Paper plugin module** that allows leaves to **decay instantly** when logs are broken or nearby leaves decay. This enhances tree-farming gameplay by speeding up leaf removal while respecting natural decay mechanics. --- ## ⚙️ Features - 🚀 **Instant leaf decay** when breaking logs - 🍂 Automatically breaks leaves when nearby leaves decay naturally - 🌿 Prevents persistent leaves (e.g., player-placed) from decaying - ⚡ Lightweight and efficient — uses optimized recursive checks - 📏 Limits leaf breaking to a configurable distance internally for performance --- ## 📁 Installation 1. Include this module/plugin `.jar` in your server’s `plugins/` folder 2. Start or reload your server 3. Works immediately — no configuration needed --- ## 🧩 Developer Information **Main listener class:** `de.scholle.minecrafthelden.external.InstaLeafDecay.BlockBreakEventListener` **Key methods & behavior:** - `onBlockBreak(BlockBreakEvent event)` → Breaks leaves near broken logs instantly - `onLeavesDecay(LeavesDecayEvent event)` → Breaks nearby leaves instantly during natural decay - `breakLeaf(Block block, boolean breakFirstBlock, Block originalBlock)` → Recursively handles leaf breaking - `isValidLeaf(Block block, Block originalBlock)` → Ensures leaves are valid for decay, ignoring persistent or distant blocks **Notes:** - Persistent leaves are ignored to prevent accidental removal of player-placed foliage - Uses a taxicab-distance based check to optimize performance --- ## 🧰 Compatibility - ✅ Works on **Spigot**, **Paper**, and **Purpur** - 🧱 Compatible with **Minecraft 1.18+** - ⚙️ Requires **Java 17+** --- ## 🧑‍💻 Author **Developed by:** Scholle **Package:** `de.scholle.minecrafthelden.external.InstaLeafDecay` --- ## 📜 License This project is licensed under the **Apache License 2.0**.
