Bye Bye Falling Leaves is a lightweight Minecraft Java resource pack that completely removes all falling leaf and cherry blossom petal particles. It provides clean visuals and reduces visual distraction without modifying any gameplay mechanics.
Developed and maintained by Dev Borah (@bitzzdev).
Features
- Removes all falling leaf particles across standard biomes.
- Disables cherry blossom petal particles in cherry grove biomes.
- Visuals only: no gameplay modifications or entity changes.
- Zero performance overhead: pure client-side texture override.
- Vanilla compatible: works without Fabric, Forge, or external mod loaders.
Purpose
Falling leaf particles can clutter the screen during:
- Detailed building and architectural projects
- Recording gameplay videos and screenshots
- PvP and parkour gameplay where unobstructed sightlines matter
- Clean, minimal aesthetic preferences
The pack leaves blocks and ambient lighting intact, turning off only the particle sprites.
Compatibility
- Platform: Minecraft Java Edition
- Tested version: 1.21.11
- Resource pack format: Modern format using
min_formatandmax_format - Fully compatible alongside Iris shaders, OptiFine, and client-side optimization mods
Installation
- Download or clone this repository:
git clone https://github.com/bitzzdev/byeByeFallingLeaves.git - Copy the pack folder or zip archive into your Minecraft resource packs directory:
- Linux:
~/.minecraft/resourcepacks/ - macOS:
~/Library/Application Support/minecraft/resourcepacks/ - Windows:
%appdata%\.minecraft\resourcepacks\
- Linux:

Technical details
The pack replaces leaf particle textures (leaves.png and cherry_leaves.png) under assets/minecraft/textures/particle/ with 100% transparent PNGs. This is the safest, most stable method to suppress particle rendering in pure vanilla Minecraft.
