Motschen's Better Leaves (Programmer Art Edition)

Improves the appearance of leaves with high mod compatibility and performance – now with Programmer Art textures!

Better Leaves adds additional layers to leaf blocks, making them appear more bushy, dense and natural.

Version 9.0 is focused on performance, with textures being automatically created for every leaf. Unlike 8.1, this is not dynamic, so you have to follow a few simple steps to compile custom versions for use with texturepacks. I have already done so for Minecraft's Programmer Art textures.

I strongly recommend installing the Cull Leaves mod alongside Sodium/Embeddium to get more FPS.
