RLFoliage (Ported)
- By
Puffier leaves, grassier grass, and more — a 1.20.1 Forge port of the classic Better Foliage mod, with full mod compatibility, an in-game config screen, and Embeddium/Oculus support.
RLFoliage
An unofficial Forge 1.20.1 continuation of RLFoliage — the mod that made leaves, grass, and a dozen other little details in Minecraft actually feel alive.
RLFoliage is itself a fork of Better Foliage by fonnymunkey, based on the original Better Foliage by octarine-noise (code) and Meringue (textures).
This port is not affiliated with or endorsed by either — it exists to bring the same look and feel forward to modern Forge.
What it does
-
Puffy round leaf overlays on every tree, generated live from the tree's own texture — including modded trees. Resource packs that retexture leaves are reflected correctly, with no stale or mismatched colors.
-
Grass and mycelium tufts
-
Underwater algae and reeds ("seaweed")
-
Coral on sand
-
Cactus thorns
-
Packed ice icicles
-
Lily pad roots and flowers
-
Falling leaf and rising soul particles for extra atmosphere.
-
Compatibility with several popular tree and foliage mods, including Traverse, Defiled Lands, and Dynamic Trees.
-
Dynamic Trees support includes leaf overlays that follow felled Dynamic Trees logs.
-
A full in-game settings screen through
Mods → RLFoliage → Config. -
Every feature can be individually toggled and tuned, with tooltips and one-click reset to default.
-
Works correctly with Embeddium (Sodium for Forge) and Oculus shaderpacks.
