Uh oh! In the new version there is nothing in the zip folder!!!!

3. Forge modifies so many class files it's bound to be incompatible with anything

Perhaps incompatible with things needing to be put into the minecraft jar, but the amount of those kinds of mods these days aren't terribly large. Forge is simply better for modding, as it allows people to create drag and drop mods that are easy to use, and easier to figure out compatibility with for the end user. I'm still not sure why you're so against Forge when the benefits outweigh the risks.

Actually, just so you know, All Solid blocks have this behavior already. Glass does too, but it works a little differently being transparent. Leaves, however, don't (Except in fast graphics). The fact that you have to render 10x the sides of the leave blocks is kind of crazy. That's exactly why I made this mod.

Before this mod, I have always had optifine and I set everything to fancy---Except leaves. Why? Because the leaves cause a huge FPS decrease, especially in biomes Jungle and Taiga. Now that I have this mod, I no longer need to worry about that.

Last time I checked, Leaves is the only block rendered like they are.



1. It's causing crashes for other people
2. I am modifying parts of the code, both ModLoader and Forge aren't going to help
3. Forge modifies so many class files it's bound to be incompatible with anything
4. How is it easier to code?
5. How could you possibly say it's just "put together better"?

cause i know multiple mods that are only compatable with forge, forge makes mods mp compatable modloader doesnt and forge has bitcode which is easyer to learn and write

Has anyone else noticed that the new version doesn't have files in it? It is just a blank zip folder....I've sent a message to the owner to tell him about this glitch.

Mod does what the creator says it does. Helps out a lot with frames. Although, with some texture packs it can end up looking pretty bad, since the pack-maker never intended for all the blocks to be hollow and were very.... "generous" with the empty space in their leaf blocks. Not sure if there is a work-around for that, but I could always just give it it's own profile on MagicLauncher for the mods that do.

FUN FACT: This mod FIXES the issue I found (and brought up) with the MojoKraft texture pack (where Fast graphics leaf blocks make the floors beneath them invisible and un-rendered). Not sure why, but hey! It's good to know.

Ummm. How do I install ? When I downloaded and then looked in to the .zip file nothing was in it.

That is a glitch. The owner should fix it soon. It happened to me too.

The Forge API is indeed extremely helpful for Mod Developers. It has done many things for us to benefit how we handle our mods like, cross compatibility with almost any mod compatible with forge, integrate countless directories so one can possibly use materials for one mod to another, and help organize our source a lot better. It's even has helped us with Mohjang's never ending updates. Though it has many faults/annoyances that can be improved; it's a lot better than Modloader in terms of flexibility and usability for both the mod developers and the people who use the mods. It,s also more stable than ModLoader and helps us Mod developers help people who have trouble with the mods with better crash/bug handling.

Even once Mohjang creates the MOD API, I believe that it wont bring all the stability, functionality and customization, Forge currently allows. Though it would indeed make things easier.

Oh and one more thing, the folder is empty I'm sure you already know that. xD

Well, Forge modifies so many class files that it is bound to be incompatible with anything. Plus forge mod loader is annoying when Minecraft starts up, it puts a bunch of crap on the title screen that I find to be ugly and very out of place, etc. etc.

I just really do not like it. But I'll put the source up on pastebin for you in just a moment...


Edit: Here you go: (EDIT: I've updated the sources for Optileaves 1.1, please use the new 1.1 sources instead of the original ones. Thanks.)

Oh crap! I'm terribly sorry about that. Thanks for pointing that out Pugin94.

I'm reuploading it now.

I am so sorry about breaking the download. I reuploaded it (And it actually has the files this time!) and I am editing the post right now.

Aha, this fixes that because it uses the Fancy textures and properties of the leaves block on Fast as well. On fast, they are not supposed to be transparent. That's why that happened. In my mod, they are always clear.

Ummmmm, it's Mojang just FYI

Also yes I knew about that and fixed it

That was a mistake on my part. The download link has been fixed.

Oh...... Hahahahaha XD I always get that mixed up

Also I just confirmed that it IS compatible with the Shaders mod.

Quote from ReamN

I really like your mod. Using it I get 20 fps more which is simply awesome. This improves the game experience a lot.

Is there any chance to make it also compatible with world generation mods which add new leaves blocks to the game?
For example Biomes O Plenty adds some new trees to the game. Their leaves blocks are still rendered as normal. That is to say they are transparent even in fast graphics, but do not connect to each other like glass does.

Hm, sure. I might know a way to be able to detect if other class files exist, optifine uses something like this I know.

Maybe I could make it compatible with forge and this mod right out of the box if you install it over them?

I was going to make forge compatibility but it won't install correctly in the jar :c
Don't you install Optifine AFTER forge?

Maybe I should start with a fresh jar.

Ya see why I don't support forge? I just broke a jar installing it.

But HOPEFULLY I'll get this to work... Eventually...

In fact I don't really require to install Optifine, so I'll just have forge to make sure it works right,

All I need is some Optifine source files (To make compatibility automatic, I am not a Java expert, but I know my way around Java), which I already have in the mod's file.

Then, I'll use Forge's source as a guide to get everything working again.



Basically, when this is all done, simply install Optileaves on top of Forge and you're good to go.

Oh so I apparently need Forge's special MCP in order to make it work :/

This is painful, but at least it's decompiling now, finally.

Oh look at that! Inside the mcp folder it has the familiar MCP system


Ok so it appears the only difference between Forge and Vanilla Minecraft, at least in the BlockLeaves.java file, is that @SideOnly(Side.CLIENT) is spammed everywhere

I think it crashed in BlockLeavesBase though

--- END ERROR REPORT e9ae5783 ----------

Unless I fixed the error in 1.1, there should be no reason why Forge isn't working. The only difference between Forge's class file and mine which is based off vanilla is that @SideOnly(Side.CLIENT) isn't spammed around in lots of places in the code.

Is that absolutely necessary for Forge to work? I'd think that wouldn't cause an error.

If that's not the issue, and it's still not working in 1.1, all I can say is that forge may be causing the errors to happen, because most of the code is identical besides the @SideOnly(Side.CLIENT) and the sections that decide whether to render each side or not.

Let me see if I can still confirm the error.




Edit: OK so the issue has to do with what it imports and its package, which I wasn't really paying attention to

So yeah, you'll need a patch.

Working on it...

Good lord guys. You say that you hate this man who created Optileaves to boost the FPS by disliking his opinion of Forge? He created the mod, he gets to do whatever he wants. Not you, unless you create your own mod. If you really dislike the fact that he does not want to use forge, then leave quietly.

Good mod RyanDolan123, that boosts the FPS a lot higher than usual, esspecially with Optifine. Thanks!

Yay! I made the Minecraft Forge version.

It requires you to patch all the files, so I'll just call it a different version

Thanks

And along with this forge stuff, I did make a version of Optileaves that works with forge, anyway. So yeah, I'm adding the download for it now (Well after I recompile it :P)

Ummmmm, is Forge's MCP SUPPOSED to output every single class file ever?

Yay! Optileaves is now compatible with Forge!

Quote from fuggazzi

Awesome concept, i was looking for this for some time. Could you perhaps make a 1.4.7 version?

What's wrong with 1.5.1/1.5.2?
