An actual better grass and snow mod for Fabric.

📖 What's this mod?

Have you ever used the MCPatcher/OptiFine better grass feature?
I did, and I've hated it immediately.
The main issue is that it's too rough even at Fancy settings.
That's why I made my own mod to fix this issue and provide an alternative to one of the OptiFine features on the Fabric ecosystem!
Grass blocks will now connect, and the nearby grass blocks will be smoothed.
