Rustling Leaves

Leaves fall from the trees, lie on the ground and blow around in the wind.

Every tree drops its own leaves: oaks and birches go yellow and red, spruces shed needles, cherries drop petals. The leaves pile up on the ground, float on water and fly off with every gust. The mod only runs on your side, so it works on any server.

Thousands of leaves at once  ·  Every tree, modded ones too  ·  No blocks or items, nothing to install on the server

On the water

Leaves that land on a lake stay afloat and drift with the current. They gather into little rafts by the shore,
soak through and slowly sink.

Under the spruces

Conifers shed needles instead of leaves, and much less often. Under old spruces the ground is rusty with them.

Cherry blossom

Cherry trees drop petals, and a gust carries them through the whole grove.
With Serene Seasons the blossom falls in spring and the leaves in autumn.

Piles, rakes and wind

Walk through a pile and the leaves scatter, jump into one and they fly up. Sneak with a hoe or a shovel to rake them into a heap.
Squalls strip the trees, whirlwinds wander over open ground, and a wind charge blows the leaves away in a ring.

Getting started

Put the mod into the mods folder of your game. It adds no blocks or items, so you can join any server with it.
On Fabric (Minecraft 1.20.1) it also needs Fabric API and Forge Config API Port.
On a server it is optional: there it only tells the players nearby where someone rakes.
The config screen sets everything from the number of leaves to the wind, and /rustlingleaves fallrate <value> changes how thickly the leaves fall right in game.
