RLFoliage (Ported)

RLFoliage

An unofficial Forge 1.20.1 continuation of RLFoliage — the mod that made leaves, grass, and a dozen other little details in Minecraft actually feel alive.

RLFoliage is itself a fork of Better Foliage by fonnymunkey, based on the original Better Foliage by octarine-noise (code) and Meringue (textures).

This port is not affiliated with or endorsed by either — it exists to bring the same look and feel forward to modern Forge.

What it does

• Puffy round leaf overlays on every tree, generated live from the tree’s own texture — including modded trees. Resource packs that retexture leaves are reflected correctly, with no stale or mismatched colors.

• Grass and mycelium tufts

• Underwater algae and reeds (“seaweed”)

• Coral on sand

• Cactus thorns

• Packed ice icicles

• Lily pad roots and flowers

• Falling leaf and rising soul particles for extra atmosphere.

• Compatibility with several popular tree and foliage mods, including Traverse, Defiled Lands, and Dynamic Trees.

• Dynamic Trees support includes leaf overlays that follow felled Dynamic Trees logs.

• A full in-game settings screen through Mods → RLFoliage → Config.

• Every feature can be individually toggled and tuned, with tooltips and one-click reset to default.

• Works correctly with Embeddium (Sodium for Forge) and Oculus shaderpacks.
