LambdaBetterGrass
A Fabric mod which adds better grass to the game.
📖 What's this mod?
Have you ever used MCPatcher/OptiFine better grass feature? I did and I did not like it, not at all. Main issue is it's too rough even at Fancy settings.
That's why I made my own mod, to fix this issue and provide an alternative of one of OptiFine features to the Fabric ecosystem! Grass blocks will now connect and the nearby grass blocks will be smoothed.
Searching other mods to replace OptiFine? Check out that list!
✅ Features:
- Connect grass blocks
- Connect mycelium blocks
- Connect podzol blocks
- Connect grass path blocks
- Connect crimson nylium blocks
- Connect warped nylium blocks
- Add snow layer to many non-full blocks when Better Snow is enabled
- Add an optional built-in resource pack to have snowy fences.
- API for resource pack creators and modders to add new block connection following the better grass rule or new alternate models for blocks following the better snow rule.
📖 Usage
To use this mod it's very simple!
Install it in your mods folder along with Fabric API and ModMenu.
You will notice that some blocks like grass blocks will connect together, if you want to try other options or want to have the same look as OptiFine you can look into the settings screen of the mod via ModMenu.

📖 Compatibility
- Sodium is compatible only with Indium present.
- Canvas is compatible.
- ConnectedBlockTextures is compatible.
- OptiFabric is obviously incompatible.
Great mod!
Please fix the diagonal fences incompatibility!
In reply to GoldenLightninJ:
Please make a more detailed bug report on the bug tracker.
In reply to LambdAurora:
What i said is very clear and even the mod creator of diagonal fences stated that this is incompatible with your mod, so if you have the will to work with him or fix it yourself then please do so, i'm just stating after all
In reply to GoldenLightninJ:
You haven't describe the nature of the incompatibility at all. And the bug tracker is useful to not loose bug reports.
First time I'm hearing of said incompatibility.
In reply to LambdAurora:
I also came here looking for a fix for the diagonal fences not rendering.
The Diagonal Fences author claims it is an incompatibility with LambdaBetterGrass. The statement is buried near the end of the page, in the FAQ. Going to the GitHub issues, I also see a bug report: GitHub.com - Fuzss - Diagonal Fences - Issue 25. The bug report indicates they attempted to contact you and are awaiting a response.
More specifically, the problem is that the diagonal fence pieces fail to render. The collision boxes are present and prevent movement. The selection outline even shows for the invisible fence railings when the cursor is pointed at the block. The normal N, E, W, and S direction fence pieces also render, as does the post. It is just the diagonal railings that fail to render.
Digging through the regular game logs, I came across these entries for Diagonal Fences.

I'm running v6 of "Better MC [FABRIC] 1.19.2 & 1.18.2" by xSHXRKIEx. However, I've added a ton of mods to my CurseForge profile. Except for "MemoryLeakFix" all mods are current (according to the CurseForge Overwolf client). And I left that one out of date, as the latest version crashes the game.
In reply to LambdAurora:
It's already in the GitHub issues: https://github.com/LambdAurora/LambdaBetterGrass/issues/58.
In reply to Zarepheth:
Thanks for all the info, the log was really helpful in finding where to look into this.
I went ahead and added integration for Lambda Better Grass in Diagonal Fences v4.2.2.
In reply to Fuzs_:
I just updated my Curse Forge profile and my fences are so much better now that I can see the diagonal portions!
Thank you!!
someone knows a mod in which the land at the edge is the same, only on forge?
There is an issue with some grass block edge texture on the Wynncraft server which has THOUSANDS of players all day every day. Is there a chance you can fix this bug so I and many others can continue to use your mod while playing on servers with custom textures like this? Here is a screenshot of the Bugged Texture:
And here is what the texture is supposed to look like: 
Thank you for reading this and have a lovely rest of your day. May you have many smooth days of coding ahead of you.
Understand this might be very out of the way and quite possible tedious but do you think you could work on accommodating 64x faithful textures for the transition line from the grass/snow/podzol/ect to the dirt. From a distance its not a problem but close up it can look a bit off. No rush at all, thank you.
if possible, could you fix the one pixel when the path blocks connect? since path blocks aren't a full block, the dirt under the path block gets exposed by 1 pixel when the paths connect.
will this mod be updated to 1.19 this is 1 of me favorite mods
when will it be ready for the 1.19 i love this mod <3
Any plans for forge?
In reply to DaCatmasterX:
The guy who asked for permission to port vanished, so I guess no plans.
I don't remember hearing much good about Forge's model API so that's not motivating to port either.
In reply to LambdAurora:
Would this work with rubidium/oculus since they are iris/sodium ports for forge?
Trees Grass and other nature-related blocks in a snow biome still have snow when underground?
sorry if this is a dumb question but when I try to launch the game it crashes and says:
The game crashed whilst initializing game
Error: java.lang.NullPointerException: Cannot invoke
"dev.lambdaurora.lambdabettergrass.LambdaBetterGrass.log(String)"
because "mod" is null
Exit Code: -1
what does this even mean? if I had to guess Id say the was a problem with the file
i use sodium and indium.
