Trees slowly shed their leaves based on temperature. Vanilla or Eco Machina compatible.
Description
<span style="color: #e74c3c;">ECO MACHINA IS REQUIRED FOR FANCY BRANCHES</span>
<span style="color: #e74c3c;">but, it is not required for the mod to function. Compare with screenshots for the look you want.

NOTE: <span style="color: #000000;">This mod is lightweight on servers and on the client,</span> Eco Machina <span style="color: #000000;">is heavier. Our resting performance heartrate is tiny and we take pride in that. A lot of players incorrectly think we're the ones causing lag since the two mods are commonly installed together for the superior experience.</span></span>

What does this mod do?
Deciduous trees will now slowly enter and exit dormancy based off local temperature. This effects mirrors real life and allows you to enjoy seasonal immersion. Since the changes are local, emergent microclimates will form. Valleys will stay green longer, autumn descends down mountains in an altitudinal gradient, Foliage can be stunted due to cold snaps in the spring, etc.
When leaves disappear for the season, their hitboxes do as well, despite never being removed from your world. Leaves will slowly return when temperatures improve.
Summarized by users: "Real leaf fall! Falling leaves! REAL!!!!!! PEAK!"
~ Temperature-based tree canopy hiding. This means trees may lose their leaves at different points in time across the map, rather than strictly in winter.
~ Canopy acts bare, snow will accumulate beneath deciduous trees, and will thaw in spring.
~ Trees smoothly lose their canopy during autumn or in the case of the tropics, if a coldsnap frightens the tree.
~ Trees smoothly gain their canopy when temperatures improve.
~ Trees of varying species leaf out at different times.
~ Particles gently rain from the trees during autumn to simulate falling leaves.
~ Evergreens do not lose their leaves. If you want to add to the list of trees unaffected you can edit the config.
~ Hidden leaves have no hitbox or cursor highlights, so you won't notice them or trip on invisible blocks (use the config if you still want cursor highlights in case they get in the way of winter construction.)
~ Snow does not accumulate on hidden leaves, but does accumulate on evergreens. Snow "falls through" the bare branches of trees.
~ Vines don't appear on hidden leaves.
~ This mod can safely be uninstalled at any time. Even when all of your trees are bare, uninstalling this mod does nothing to harm your save. This mod is almost a visuals only mod.
~ Partial compatibility for mods, including a config so you can change which trees should and shouldn't lose leaves. Modded trees work in the config. It's not populated with modded trees by default as it would open Pandora's box for unrelated bugs.
~ There may be a hidden Halloween day easter egg...

<span style="color: #e74c3c;">Note</span>: This is largely a personal mod, this mod gives me massive headaches and I probably won't be too active on it. I also reserve full rights to say "no" on bad ideas for it.
