Overview
FancyFast Bushy Leaves gives trees a fluffier, more natural look without the massive FPS drop typical of high-quality leaf packs. It works by using non-transparent textures paired with "bushy" models, making it ideal for players on lower-end hardware or those using heavy shaders in forest biomes.
Features
- Adds extra fluffy layers to leaf blocks for a dense, bushy appearance.
- Replaces transparent textures with solid ones to optimize rendering.
- Removes the blocky "box" look usually found when using the Fast graphics setting.
- Fixes the sparse, empty look of tree crowns when using culling mods.
- Works across all vanilla tree types, including Mangroves and Azaleas.
Technical Requirements
To get the best performance boost, you should use a culling mod (like Cull Leaves or Sodium/Embeddium). You also need to keep your in-game settings set to Fancy Leaves for the custom models to display correctly.
Resolution & Performance
This is a 16x resolution pack that sticks to the vanilla aesthetic. Because it uses solid textures rather than transparency, it significantly reduces the workload on your GPU in dense biomes like Jungles or Mangrove Swamps. It is specifically designed to maintain high framerates while looking better than the default "Fast" graphics setting.
Compatibility
The pack is compatible with most modern versions of Minecraft. Since it only changes leaf models and textures, it should work fine with any version from 1.18 up to the latest release. It does not require OptiFine, though it works perfectly with it or Iris/Sodium.
