Better Foliage Renewed

Better Foliage Renewed is a port of the original work of Octarine Noise to modern Minecraft. This is a client side only mod.

The original work had a few design decisions that made it hard to update as is: Complex coremodding to get certain rendering effects, a dependence on an obscure programming language, as well as doing difficult things like generating textures at runtime.

This port aims to fix these things by taking advantage of the resource pack and model loading APIs provided by Forge as well as Mojang. It also has no dependencies, unlike most mods these days. Besides for the particle effects, you might notice that there isn't a config to disable/tweak many of the features. This is because models are loaded via resource pack. If you want to disable a certain model, override that block's blockstate file with the one from vanilla. This also means that mod compat is easier than ever! If a mod you like has a permissive license (if I can host their assets in my repository), I will add compat for it myself. Otherwise, you are free to do it yourself.

It also means that performance-wise, this mod is pretty comparable to vanilla. The leaves might cause some lag on lower computers, but in general, you shouldn't notice any effects unless you try shaders.

This mod is under the MIT License, meaning that you can put it in your modpack, fork it, do whatever. I would ask that you not rehost this elsewhere, but I can't stop you.
