About
Better Foliage is a Forge mod that will make your Minecraft worlds more impressive, mainly by improving how vegetation looks. It is fully compatible with other visual enhancement mods (Optifine, Shaders Mod, Colored Lights Core).
The mod is 100% cosmetic and client-only. It has no effect on the server, and Better Foliage features in the world can not be interacted with.
If you want to see what Better Foliage has to offer, check out the Features.
If you are a resource pack author and wish to add support for Better Foliage, you can get more information from the following pages:
You can also look at the Source and the Changelogs.
If you find a bug, please report it at the Issue Tracker.
Usage & Requirements
To use the mod, just drop it into the mods folder of your installation, like any other Forge mod.
All features of the mod can be switched on/off independently, and customized to your own taste with a rich configuration GUI (opened with F8 by default). Tooltips will tell you what each option means.
Better Foliage 2.x needs Java 8.
License & Modpacks
Source code for Better Foliage is provided under the MIT License.
Additional restrictions apply for distributing binaries:
- You may distribute Better Foliage as part of a modpack, but you may not use monetized links. (Adfly, Adfocus, etc.)
- You may not distribute the Better Foliage binary by itself. Please link to the file here on CurseForge.
Otherwise, you may freely use Better Foliage as part of a public or private modpack. If you do, I ask you to provide a link to this page (this is not mandatory).
Can this be used with Better Trees?
1.14.4 doesn't want to work with optifine.
hmmm one of my friends experienced this crash on 1.10.2 version, https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/368520601381371904/668910403421601814/crash-2020-01-20_21.09.23-client.txt
ive yet to get this crash but i noticed the error had something to do with better foliage.
what happened to the dense leaf type?! :(( i don't like the simple ceros i like the more fuller leaf model
hey i have a question. In 1.14.4 i can't open a GUI and can i turn on rounded logs everywhere?
In reply to pmalys:
the latest forge mod configuration isn't implemented, you have to configure in the config files.
log textures mess up when i put resource packs on and they turn into random textures and the better foliage cattails/tallgrass shows up all squished up, also will any guy be added in the future/any way to get the dense leaves model
Hi, Kottle seems to be causing my game to crash on start up, pretty sure it's a compatibility issue as I have some 80 mods installed but maybe I'm missing something? Using the latest version of forge and optifine as well as MixinBootstrap.
Would love if you could add the fruit leaves from the simple farming mod ♥
After you are done updating to fabric 1.14.4 will you update to 1.15?
Version 2.5.0 released
First working version for 1.14.4!
BF 2.5 for Forge requires Kottle to work (a replacement for Forgelin). Please read on for information about Mixin.
Tested with Forge 28.1.115, Optifine 1.14.4 HD U F5, and Kottle 1.4.0.
Known issues:
- Extra Leaves on snowed leaves look a little bit funky (Z-fighting)
- Short Grass might look a bit too dark with certain shaders and settings
- The block types configuration is being reworked. As of right now, there is no way to customize it manually. If a modded block is not supported, file a bug report for it.
Because Forge 1.14 is still a work in progess, there are a few extra caveats that apply.
- Forge has no configuration GUI yet like in previous versions. If you don't like the default configs, you'll have to edit config/betterfoliage-client.toml manually.
- IMPORTANT: Forge Installer launcher profiles have no support for Mixin (a coremodding tool) yet. As a temporary workaround, you can drop MixinBootstrap in your mods folder.
In reply to octarine_noise:
Thank you so much for updating this to 1.14! I'm so happy that one of my favorite mods are back.
Does this mean that we can't yet configure individual aspects of the mod such as turning off the round logs?
No, you can still do that by manually editing the config file.
The block config is the one that enables you to add more blocks and models that will be recognized as grass/leaves/etc. Basically, adding mod support.
My current plan is that this will only be extensible by resource packs.
In reply to octarine_noise:
Hey, so I was messing with this mod, and the MixinBootstrap mod makes my 1.14.4 game crash.
Any known incompatibilities?I actually did some messing around and found that MixinBootstrap crashes the game even with JUST Kottle and Better Foliage. So for now, it's pretty much unusuable...
Ran another test. It should be noted you have to use the LATEST Forge, not the recommended version. It works just fine now.
In reply to octarine_noise:
Thank you so much for update this mod into 1.14 . I really love this mod so much.
In reply to octarine_noise:
Ive been running some compatibility tests on this mod with about 120 other mods and i ran into a problem with an instant crash when loading with Optifine 1.14.4 HD U F5 and Immersive Portals. without loading optifine everything loads correctly but when putting optifine back in, it instant crashes. I dont know if theres any type of fix or if it is destine to not be compatible but i think its worth bringing to your attention
In reply to octarine_noise:
I manage to fix the dark grass by enabling smooth lighting to maximum.
Game crashes with this mod installed. Does it have any known compatibility issues with other mods?
Installed:
biomesoplenty
dynamic surroundings (+HUD)
Dynamic Trees
Jei
Serene Seasons
Soundfilters
optifine
orelib
Well, it's incompatible with not having Forgelin installed.
Unfortunately, the Curse text editor is useless, and I literally can't make the red text any bigger...
Regarding 1.14 support, I can now confirm that versions for both Forge and Fabric will be forthcoming.
I've started doing both in parallel, as I intended to keep them as close as possible for maintenance purposes. However, seemingly tiny differences quickly snowballed into a huge chasm, so I've scrapped that plan completely. Instead, the Forge version will be basically unchanged but upgraded for 1.14, while the Fabric version will be a pretty extensive rewrite (with probably a slight performance edge). I'm working on putting the finishing touches on the Forge version now, which should be complete in the next few days. The Fabric version still needs about 2 weeks to finish (not counting any unforseen surprises).
In both cases, Vanilla (Indigo) and Optifine (Optifabric) rendering will be supported. In the case of Fabric, I'm not sure about other alternative renderers yet.
TL;DR: Forge 1.14 this weekend! Fabric 1.14 end of month!
