[1.8.9] Leaf decay

[blahblahbal]

I'm having another issue (actually this issue has been occurring for quite some time), this time with leaf decay. I've been looking at other mods' code for clues on how to get leaves to decay once the logs are mined away, but nothing has caught my eye. Is there something I'm missing?

 

Currently, I have the leaves set to not decay at all, so my custom trees don't go nude over time.

 

Here is the code for the leaves:  https://github.com/blahblahbal/Blah-s-Minecraft-Mod/blob/Structure-fix/src/main/java/blahblahbal/blahmod/blocks/ModBlockLeaves.java

Here is the code for the logs:  https://github.com/blahblahbal/Blah-s-Minecraft-Mod/blob/Structure-fix/src/main/java/blahblahbal/blahmod/blocks/ModBlockLog.java

 

EDIT: I just noticed that the indentation is all messed up. Please ignore that, I'll fix it.

EDIT2: Fixed the indentation.

Just let default implementation of BlockLeaves do the checks for you. If you want your wood blocks to "support" leaves, preventing them from decaying there is a convinient Block::canSustainLeaves method that does exactly that. For some reason you are not overriding it in your log class thus the default implementation returns false and the leaves just decay as there is nothing to support them.

Oh, that's... simple. I didn't even realize that was a thing. For some reason my eyes glossed over that in the mods I've looked at.

Is there a way to extend the range of the 'sustaining' function? My palm tree's foliage is too large to stay 'alive' with the default leaf code, and it'd look weird if I added wood to the foliage.

Something something copy the existing code into your leaf class as an override and change the values?

Derp, thanks. I don't know why I didn't think of that myself.
