About this project

What does OptiLeaves add?

Optileaves - a Minecraft mod that optimizes leavesrender for a better performance.

Enjoy higher FPS without losing the beauty of your world!

🌿🌿🌿

The mod hides invisible block faces that the player wouldn’t see anyway, reducing system load without compromising visual quality. It also uses a cache to avoid repeating the same checks every frame. The configurable depth check allows fine-tuning the balance between performance and detail. Especially effective in forests and jungles, where foliage is most dense.


🎮 Tests:
🍃 In areas with extremely dense foliage, FPS can improve by up to ~25%! In moderately leafy areas, up to ~15% more FPS 🍃


🎥 Showcase:


🍀 Enjoy the game! 🍀
