Folium Frond Expansion Mod FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
Do I need to do anything after installing the mod or does it just work?
The mod works automatically as soon as it's installed—no configuration needed. It will instantly start transforming foliage on all trees in your world, both vanilla and modded.
Will this mod work on a multiplayer server?
Yes, the mod is entirely client-side, so you can join any server without asking admins to install anything. Other players won't see your enhanced foliage, but you'll see it on your end.
Does the mod work with other mods that add trees?
Yes, it automatically detects and enhances foliage from modded trees without breaking their colors or textures. No patches or compatibility mods needed.
Why do my forests look laggy or stuttery with this mod on?
Dense foliage can impact performance on lower-end systems. Try reducing your render distance, lowering graphics settings, or checking the mod's configuration for performance options like disabling certain variation features.
Can I use this mod with my resource pack?
Yes, the mod adapts automatically to any active resource pack without needing extra patches. Your leaf textures, colors, and biome tinting will all be preserved.
Does the mod change the actual blocks or just how they look?
The mod only changes how foliage appears visually on your client—it doesn't alter the actual blocks, so it's safe for multiplayer and doesn't affect gameplay mechanics.
Why do some leaf blocks look different from others in the same tree?
The mod intentionally adds position, depth, and rotation variations to each leaf block to make forests look less repetitive and more natural. This is a feature, not a bug.
Will this mod conflict with shader mods?
The mod should work with most shaders, though compatibility depends on the specific shader. If you experience issues, try disabling shader features like normal maps or checking if the shader has known conflicts.
How does the mod make foliage look bushier without adding more blocks?
It uses transparency masks to create trimmed, pixelated leaf geometry that appears fuller and softer while keeping the same number of blocks. It also removes hidden interior faces to improve performance.
Can I turn off the mod for specific trees or biomes?
The mod applies globally to all foliage in your world. Check the mod's configuration options to see if you can disable it for specific tree types or adjust its intensity.
