Better Leaves Resource Pack 1.21 / 1.20

Although simple, Motschen’s Better Leaves resource pack adds significant value to the game. Every Minecraft player, old or new, understands the game’s defining image is its cartoonish textures. Sometimes you want to spice things up with a resource pack or mod. Motschens Better Leaves alters trees—specifically their leaves—the game’s most common asset. The graphical settings modify the leaves’ appearance even in default mode. The “fancy” option makes them transparent, while “fast” turns them black/dark green. They have many hues that vary by biome. Better Leaves Resource Pack always makes leaves look bushier by adding layers to the material. This makes the trees look more alive, which nearly always improves game immersion. You’re in luck if you’re used to hundreds of thousands of resource packs that entirely remake Minecraft’s textures. Motschen’s Better Leaves advises “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it”. Once you switch it on and join the world, you may wonder if it works. Because it only edits leaves. Minecraft veterans will be astonished that this is an option. In prior versions, such adjustments required modifications, which were difficult to implement. With this implementation, you can utilize it like any other resource pack. Motschen’s Better Leaves texture pack works without downloading anything else.

The package author advises downloading Optifine and enabling Smart Leaves first. Do this if you have an older computer because this tiny modification eliminates items from the sheets that can drastically reduce performance. One option is to not install Optifine. The Cull Leaves mod produces the same results but requires a different installation. Any vanilla Minecraft system can run Motschen Better Leaves, as you might expect. Essential aspects like texture resolution remain unchanged at 16×16. This resource pack simply rearranges pixels to make leaves look more realistic and glossy. Due of its vanilla flavor, it mixes well with most sources. Be careful not to use a source package that modifies sheets—textures will be changed dynamically. Motschan’s Better Leaves also supports popular Forge mods like Biomes O’ Plenty, which offer new biomes. Forge can be used with fabric mods if you don’t like it. Shaders are ideal for this resource pack if you have higher hardware and wish to increase game graphics. Realistic shadows and leaf movement will make the game’s trees more alive. Although the package is already modest, the download is less than half a megabyte. Over 6 million downloads and hundreds of positive comments demonstrate Motschen’s Better Leaves pack’s quality. The creator still updates and changes weekly. Mod support is expected to increase along with Minecraft update modifications. Downloading and trying it is free, even if you don’t like it.
