🍃 Ambient Leaves

Make Minecraft's world feel more alive with beautiful falling leaves and immersive atmospheric effects.

Ambient Leaves is a lightweight, client-side Vanilla+ mod designed to enhance Minecraft's natural environments without changing gameplay. From peaceful forests to mysterious caves, the world gets more life while keeping the original Minecraft aesthetic.

✨ Features

🍂 Dynamic Falling Leaves

Experience natural-looking falling leaves with dynamic movement instead of simple straight-down particles.

Ambient Leaves currently features 16+ falling leaf variations, with natural randomized movement such as:
