Keeping Trees Looking Bushy and Natural

Preventing Flat Leaf Canopies

Some optimization mods strip away too many leaf blocks, leaving tree canopies looking hollow, thin, or completely flat. Cull Fewer Leaves avoids this problem by retaining enough inner leaf layers to preserve tree volume while still culling purely hidden blocks.

If you notice trees appearing thinner than you prefer, you can adjust the depth of foliage directly in the mod configuration.

Increasing Inner Leaf Layers

To restore thicker, bushier foliage across your world:

1. Open the pause menu and access the mod settings menu.

2. Find the setting that controls how many leaf layers show up.

3. Change the setting to a higher number.

4. Apply your changes and inspect nearby trees.

Raising the layer count commands the mod to draw more internal foliage beneath the outer surface. This brings back the full, dense volume of birch groves, jungle canopies, and oak forests. You still benefit from the culling of completely hidden inner blocks, but your trees maintain their natural, bushy shape without looking empty.
