Maximizing FPS on Lower-End Hardware

Accessing Foliage Settings

If your computer experiences stuttering around forests, Cull Fewer Leaves can increase performance by up to 30% on slower computers. The mod achieves this through smart rendering, which stops the game from drawing leaf blocks buried deep inside tree canopies where they cannot be seen.

To optimize your frame rate:

1. Pause Minecraft and open the mod settings menu.

2. Locate the configuration setting for visible leaf layers.

Reducing Visible Leaf Layers

To squeeze the maximum speed out of dense areas:

1. Lower the number of leaf layers that the mod displays.

2. Save your changes and return to the game.

Setting this value to a lower number instructs the game to cull deeper into the foliage, cutting down on unnecessary geometry that your computer has to process. While trees will show fewer internal leaf blocks, the smart rendering system ensures the outer canopy still stays intact. This reduction provides immediate relief for slower machines, especially when traveling through dense woodlands or looking up through thick birch and oak canopies.
