Besides density, Fancy Nature lets you control whether branches show inside the leaves. There are two styles:
- Full models show the central leaf cube along with protruding branches. Trees look woody and detailed up close.
- Branchless models remove the inner branch geometry for a cleaner, purely leafy look.
When to use each
- Pick Full if you like trees that look structured and natural. It works especially well for oak, acacia, and dark oak, where visible branches add character.
- Pick Branchless for a softer, more uniform canopy. This helps if you build leaf hedges, decorative bushes, or topiary. Protruding branches can look odd poking out of a hedge wall.
Switching styles
1. Open Options → Resource Packs.
2. Find the Full or Branchless version in your copy of the pack. It may be a separate entry or an option bundled with the pack.
3. Move the style you want into Selected. Make sure a different style isn't sitting above it, since the top pack wins.
4. Click Done and reload.
5. Stand under a tree and look up through the canopy. The branches should appear with Full and disappear with Branchless.
You can combine either style with your preferred density. For example, Thin plus Branchless gives a light, airy look.
