Configuring Visual Settings for Smooth Performance

Utilizing the Lag-Friendly Design

Many bushy leaf packs create severe frame drops because they add dense, heavy geometry to every tree. Dronko's Alternative Bushy Leaves Model uses optimized, lightweight models specifically engineered to run much smoother than heavier alternatives while still providing distinct 3D volume.

Adjusting Video Settings

If you play on low-end hardware or travel through extremely dense biomes like dark forests and jungles, fine-tune your video settings to get the best balance of visual depth and frame rate:

1. Press Escape and go to Options > Video Settings.

2. Locate the Graphics setting. Setting Graphics to Fancy or Fabulous! allows the transparent gaps between the 3D leaf layers to render properly.

3. If your frame rate dips in dense forests, lower your Render Distance or Simulation Distance by a few chunks to reduce the total number of trees being rendered at once.

4. Check your frame rates while walking through thick canopies; the optimized geometry ensures smooth performance without requiring separate foliage configuration files.
