Description
Leaf litter is a soft ground cover made of fallen leaves that adds a realistic forest floor look to builds. It forms a thin layer over soil and gives a natural messy look that helps make woodland areas feel lived in and rich with detail. Players use leaf litter to create paths that look like they have been walked on for years, to decorate campsites and to add a worn edge to garden beds and hedgerows. The texture is made of scattered leaf bits and small twigs which gives it a gentle variety and a sense of age that is useful for role play and storytelling in builds. It is a low profile decorative block that works well paired with mushrooms, logs and ferns to build believable forest interiors and shaded clearings.
What is Leaf Litter?
Leaf litter is a decorative ground block that represents a layer of fallen leaves and small wood fragments. It is meant to add texture to forest floors and to make natural scenes look more complete and detailed than bare grass alone.
Where to find Leaf Litter
Leaf litter appears in well forested biomes and near large trees where leaves fall naturally and collect on the ground. It is most common in temperate woodlands and mixed forests where dense canopy and seasonal leaf drop occur.
