About this Mod
Cull Less Leaves
Cull Less 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.
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 Less Leaves.

Does Cull Less Leaves need to be installed on the Minecraft server?
No. Modrinth marks Cull Less 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 Less Leaves require?
Use a file for fabric, quilt and your exact Minecraft version. Supported versions include 1.21.1, 1.21, 1.20.6. Files for different loaders are not interchangeable.
Cull Less 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.
