Fast Leaf Decay is a Fabric mod by LukeOnuke that makes leaves decay instantly. The same project also ships a Spigot-family plugin, so it doubles as a fast leaf decay plugin for multiplayer hosts.
Loaders and versions
- Fabric: Minecraft 1.21.11 to 26.1.2. The newest build requires Fabric API; builds for 1.21.11 need no dependencies.
What it changes
LukeOnuke describes it as faster and less resource intensive than the popular datapacks that serve the same purpose. It was developed and tested for the beocraft server.
Plugin releases
Beyond the Fabric mod, the project lists plugin releases for Spigot, Paper, Purpur and Folia, covering 1.20 to 26.1.2. A Bukkit release covers 1.20 to 1.21.11. None of the plugin releases needs another dependency. This page tracks the Fabric mod as the main entry, so pick the file that matches your host software.

4 questions
Is there a Fast Leaf Decay plugin for Spigot or Paper?
Yes. The project ships plugin releases for Spigot, Paper, Purpur and Folia covering 1.20 to 26.1.2, plus a Bukkit release for 1.20 to 1.21.11. None of them lists a required dependency. The Fabric mod is a separate file from the same creator, LukeOnuke.
Does Fast Leaf Decay work on Forge or NeoForge?
No. The mod is published for Fabric only, and a mod runs only with the loader it was made for. Forge and NeoForge players cannot use it. Plugin releases exist for Spigot-family hosts, but those are not mods for any loader.
Is Fast Leaf Decay better than a leaf decay datapack?
LukeOnuke states it is faster and less resource intensive than the more popular datapacks that do the same job. No benchmark figures are given, so treat that as the creator's claim. Fast Leaf Decay has a single purpose, making leaves decay instantly, and it is published for Fabric, with plugin releases for Spigot-family hosts.
Does Fast Leaf Decay need Fabric API?
The newest Fabric release requires Fabric API, while the release for 1.21.11 needs no dependencies. Check the release you pick before launching. The plugin releases for Spigot, Paper, Purpur, Folia and Bukkit list no dependencies at all.
