-- minetest/default/leafdecay.lua

-- To enable leaf decay for a node, add it to the "leafdecay" group.
--
-- The rating of the group determines how far from a node in the group "tree"
-- the node can be without decaying.
--
-- If param2 of the node is ~= 0, the node will always be preserved. Thus, if
-- the player places a node of that kind, you will want to set param2=1 or so.
