History of leaf decay

This page documents Java Edition&#8203;'s several historical leaf decay algorithms.

Alpha v1.0.6_01 - Alpha v1.1.2_01
In Alpha, leaves would decay using an algorithm that checks whether it has a solid or leaf block underneath it or is adjacent to a solid block. If it doesn't, it must be connected to a leaf block that is also supported as long as it is no further than five blocks away from said support.
