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 currently incompatible as it is missing the required Fabric Rendering API implementation which will be added in the future.
- Canvas is compatible.
- ConnectedBlockTextures is compatible.
- OptiFabric is obviously incompatible.
Does this work with Indium ?
this is cool!
How long do you think it will be till sodium is compatible
Is this really incompatiable with optfine? Would it not just overwrite optfine's better grass?
In reply to jefaxe:
its incompatible with optifabric, not optifine. Optifabric has so many incompatibilities anyway
In reply to therealdarkgamer7:
Wait do if I added optifine as a jar mod would it work?
In reply to jefaxe:
no, optifine on fabric requires optifabric, but since optifabric is incompatible, you won't be able to use this mod
In reply to therealdarkgamer7:
In MultiMC you can add Jar Mods. They are loaded separately. It's kinda like the old delete META-INF. But simpler. Imma try it soon.
In reply to jefaxe:
I don't want to be harsh, but if you try this then you probably don't understand modding.
You cannot expect a mod based on patch with a set of obfuscation mappings to magically work under the intermediary environment of Fabric.
Also here's the whole reason LBG doesn't work with OptifFine:
If you really want this to work, it would require OptiFine to be an actual Fabric mod and would have to implement the Fabric Renderer API.
In reply to LambdAurora:
oh okay thats cool. I undertand that optifine breaks a lot of mods.
Is there a way to prevent the grass/nylium/snow from connecting?
In reply to hyperbean18:
Yes, use ModMenu to access the config of the mod!
If you only want some specific blocks to stop connecting you will need a custom resource pack.
In reply to hyperbean18:
that's basically the point of the pack its all about curving the edges of grass block's and its family's side grass/foliage view. full cover makes fancy grass very laggy this fixes it.
This mod is great and is a huge step up from OF's better grass feature in my opinion.
it's a reborn of old forgotten mod "better grass and snow mod"? :) thank you very much, I've been waiting for this for nine years!
I really appreciate your work, please fix it:
P. S
Sorry for my english
this dose not work for me do you know why?
In reply to a_idioit:
If you use Sodium this mod will not work as Sodium does not yet supports the Fabric Rendering API.
It's mostly a matter of time.
Love your mod, just one suggestion, when a grass block is on top of another visible grass block make it use the full texture on that side.
as a forge user i approve that this is exclusive to fabric, not because it is bad, but because people need better and dynamic grass without the incompatibility avalanche that OF has for fabric
Hello!
I have been having problems with this mod and connected block textures because when I try to use both of them together, I have problems when it loads because when it stops loading it shows every piece of text like squares and Minecraft tries to reload and it repeats over and over. Also, the owner of CBT hasn't updated his mod and I asked for a newer version and someone kindly showed me this link if you needed it.
