Configure Foliage Animation Settings

Find Foliage Options

Open the shader menu and search for Foliage, Vegetation, or Animation settings. This section controls how leaves and grass move.

Adjust Wave Speed and Intensity

You can typically modify:

• Animation speed: How quickly leaves sway back and forth
• Wave strength: How far leaves move from their resting position
• Affected blocks: Some shaders let you toggle which vegetation types animate

Balance Performance and Aesthetics

Higher animation values create a more dynamic, living forest but require more processing power. On budget hardware, use moderate settings to maintain frame rates while still seeing noticeable leaf movement.

Foliage animation is most apparent in dense forests, jungles, and fields of tall grass. Visit these biomes after adjusting settings to evaluate the effect. If performance drops, reduce wave strength before reducing speed—this preserves the motion feel while lowering GPU load.
