Cull Fewer Leaves

Cull Fewer Leaves skips rendering of inner leaf layers, improving performance.

Performance

In a worst-case scenario, overlooking a mangrove swamp, this mod can
have up to a 30% performance increase (measured on low-end hardware).

Instead of leaving just the outer layer of leaves, Cull Less Leaves also renders a certain amount
of layers defined in the config.

Also requires Sodium!

Why not just use Cull Leaves?

Cull Leaves only renders the outermost layer of leaves, which can look
quite ugly (see fast culling in image below), but Cull Leaves improves
performance more than Cull Fewer Leaves
.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Cull Fewer Leaves need to be installed on the Minecraft server?

No. Modrinth marks Cull Fewer Leaves as unsupported on the server side. Install it only in your local Minecraft mods folder. Your server can remain unchanged unless the mod page lists an additional dependency.

Which version and loader does Cull Fewer Leaves require?

Use a file for fabric and your exact Minecraft version. Supported versions include 26.2, 26.1.2, 26.1.1. Files for different loaders are not interchangeable.

Cull Fewer Leaves is not working – what should I check?

First check the Minecraft version, loader version and required dependencies. Put the .jar file in your local .minecraft/mods folder and remove older duplicates. Because this mod is client-side, adding server RAM will not fix it.
