Sodium Leaf Culling - Smart Foliage Optimization

This Sodium addon introduces an innovative approach to optimizing foliage rendering in Minecraft version 1.21 and above.

How the Optimization Works

Tree leaves traditionally create significant performance load due to their transparency. Sodium Leaf Culling solves this problem by integrating directly into Sodium's chunk rendering mechanism and applying intelligent processing algorithms.

Operation Modes

The mod offers several optimization modes. By default, the "Aggressive Solid" mode is activated, which processes internal parts of leaf clusters as opaque objects with fast rendering while maintaining detailed display of outer layers. This is particularly effective when using shaders in dense forests.

A classic "Hollow" mode is also available, which removes invisible vertices inside tree canopies for additional performance improvement.

The mod is compatible with NeoForge and Fabric, but development for older game versions is not planned.
