Cull Leaves Mod improves the processing to make the game smoother, changing the way Optifine HD’s “Smart Leaves” works. It optimizes the vanilla processes of foliage generation, which significantly boosts the frame rate. It also has huge compatibility with other options that add new trees.

Frequently asked questions
What does Cull Leaves actually do?
It removes the hidden interior faces of leaf blocks that you can never see, so the game renders fewer polygons. This is the same idea as OptiFine's Smart Leaves, but it works as a standalone mod.
How do I turn leaf culling on or off?
Culling is active by default once the mod is installed. To change it, open the mod's config file or its in-game config screen and toggle the culling option, then reload your world or restart the game.
Do I need to configure anything for it to work?
No. Install it and the optimization applies automatically to vanilla and modded leaves. You only need to touch the config if you want to disable culling or tweak how it behaves.
Why do my leaves look see-through or like they're missing faces?
Culling hides faces between adjacent leaf blocks, so leaves can look thinner than vanilla, especially with fancy graphics. If it bothers you, disable culling in the config or use a resource pack like Better Leaves that fills in the gaps visually.
