Optimizing Video Settings for Bushy Leaf Visuals and Performance

Adjusting Graphics Mode

Because Cubic Leaves gives foliage a bushier appearance while keeping a blocky vanilla style, your vanilla Graphics setting directly controls how light and transparency behave inside dense tree canopies.

1. Open Options and go to Video Settings.

2. Locate the Graphics toggle.

3. Set it to Fancy or Fabulous! if you want transparent gaps within the bushier leaf designs, letting sunlight filter naturally through gardens and forests.

4. Switch to Fast if you experience frame drops in heavy forest biomes like jungles or dark forests; this renders leaf interiors opaque to save performance while preserving the outer blocky shape.

Tuning Biome Blend and Lighting

To make the vibrant, natural-looking foliage blend cleanly across biome borders:

• Biome Blend: Still inside Video Settings, raise the Biome Blend slider. Because each leaf type has a unique design, smoother color transitions prevent harsh tint lines where two forest biomes meet.
• Smooth Lighting: Set Smooth Lighting to Maximum so shadows cast by the extra blocky foliage geometry blend softly across tree trunks and garden paths rather than creating stark dark squares.
