REQUIRES FermiumBooter

RLFoliage is a fork of BetterFoliage, a client-side cosmetic mod that adds many cosmetic features such as improved leaf, grass, nether-rack, and soul-sand rendering, among other features.

RLFoliage is a full rewrite of BetterFoliage into Java, and fixes many performance and rendering issues including compatibility with VintageFix. View the 2.5.0 changelog for many of these fixes.

RLFoliage has been tested to be working, however if you have any issues please report them to the linked issue tracker, not the original mod's issue tracker.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does RLFoliage need to be installed on the Minecraft server?

No. Modrinth marks RLFoliage 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 RLFoliage require?

Use a file for forge and your exact Minecraft version. Supported versions include 1.12.2. Files for different loaders are not interchangeable.

RLFoliage 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.
