Balancing Performance and Visuals in Mod Settings

Understanding the Leaf Layer Setting

Cull Fewer Leaves allows you to choose exactly how many leaf layers appear on trees. Understanding how this configuration affects the game helps you fine-tune your setup to match your hardware capabilities.

The mod operates on a direct trade-off:

• Lower number: Focuses on speed and frames per second by culling more inner foliage, making it ideal for slower computers.
• Higher number: Focuses on visuals, keeping more leaf layers so trees appear thicker and more natural.

Testing Settings In-Game

To find the ideal balance for your computer:

1. Stand in a wooded biome, such as an oak forest or dense jungle.

2. Open the mod settings menu and adjust the leaf layer number.

3. Exit the menu to check both your frame rate and the visual fullness of the canopy.

4. If your frame rate dips when moving through thick areas, reopen the settings and decrease the number.

5. If your game runs smoothly and you prefer a bushier look, increase the number gradually.

Adjusting this setting ensures you keep a smooth game without sacrificing the blocky nature of your surrounding forests.
