Description
Bushy leaves resource packs tend to put a heavy load on the GPU, especially in biomes like mangrove swamps or jungles. On older or weaker computers, this can cause a significant performance drop, particularly when using shaders. Mods such as Cull Leaves or OptiFine's Smart Leaves can improve performance, but they often make tree crowns appear sparse. Enabling Fast Leaves in the video settings helps to some extent, but it removes leaf transparency, resulting in visible, blocky squares on the sides. This resource pack forces Fast Leaves mode, ensuring consistent performance and visuals by always rendering non-transparent leaves — regardless of the leaf quality setting.
Important!
- Fancy Leaves setting is required for the resource pack to work properly.
- Cull Leaves (or other similar mod) is required, otherwise performance may not increase. This is due to rendering invisible layers of leaves, which reduce performance.
