Cull Less Leaves Reforged
by CCr4ft3r
Cull Less Leaves Reforged is an unofficial Forge port of Cull Less Leaves that changes how leaf blocks are drawn on screen.
What it does
Instead of rendering only the outer layer of leaves, the mod draws a set number of layers, and the count is set in its config. The mod is described by its author as giving a 9% fps improvement for leaf rendering, a figure the author gives and no independent measurement is given here. The port currently keeps the original optimizations and changes only how the code is referenced and injected.
The mod is client-side only, so servers and players who join them need nothing installed. It is fully compatible with Rubidium and Embeddium, and it is listed as compatible with Oculus; Embeddium is an optional dependency. Files are published for Forge across 4 release versions, 1.18.2 – 1.20.2, under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only, and the source code is public. Latest Forge file: 1.20.1-1.0.5 for 1.20.2, released on 2023-12-01.
