- can modify their frequency via config.
block-tag based:
- spawn_falling_leaves allows to control which leaves spawn falling particles.
- spawn_falling_needles allows to control which leaves spawn coniferous falling particles.
resource-pack API:
- resource packs can override leaf colors via JSON files under assets/<your-id>/leaf_colors/
- ```
{
  "block": "minecraft:azalea_leaves",
  "properties": {
    "color": -9399763,
    "priority": 0
  }
}
```
- block: ID of a block that is an instance of LeavesBlock.
- properties:

  - priority (optional): highest priority override wins (default: 0).

FARM ANIMAL VARIANTS

- temperate (default)
- cold
- warm
they spawn in biomes that use the following biome tags:

added colored eggs for chicken variants:
- Blue Eggs: dropped by cold chickens.
- Brown Eggs: dropped by warm chickens.
