Features & Info:

Misaki's Immersive Foliage (MIF) is a total remodel of the leaf blocks and their subsequent textures to bring a more robust composition to trees and bushes! The model itself is quite complex, but due to optimizations even in singleplayer MIF (lite) runs approximately the same / faster than vanilla! On multiplayer both Lite and Full are comparably fast!

• New Models / Textures for all the leaves and bushes
• Rework of branchy leaves to be more subtle from above/side and more obvious from below
• Branchy leaf collision removed for full mobility through the underbrush
• Gradient shading to blend with rendering, ESPECIALLY noticeable on mid-far tree lines!
• BUT the 'lite' version comes without the extra shading for those who want to prioritize performance (as fast as vanilla)

Future Roadmap:

• Fruit Trees leaf rework
• Fallen / Bamboo leaf rework
• Wildcraft Compat
• Floral series Compat
• Please contact us if you have any ideas!

Configuration:

• MIF is universally sided and is configurable on server-side only (for singleplayer, it's just normal config)
• There are two main versions that can be swapped via config:
  • Lite -> Default version, prioritizes performance with
    less complex models and flatter shading (no noticeable drop from vanilla)
  • Full -> Extra bushy models with more dynamic shading,
    especially for mid-far tree lines, (5-10 fps drop from vanilla)
• Berry bush models can be toggled on/off for the vanilla blockiness (vanilla makes them feel "larger" and "taller")
• Whenever you change the config, you need to restart the server or reload your singleplayer world for them to take effect!

ELEPHANT STUDIOS

A new modding team hoping to bring Vintage Story to life!

Some of our Projects:

Harper's Immersive Tools (HIT): Released (Even better config soon)
A real-time render of all the tools, shields, backpacks, weapons, etc in your hotbar, suitable for multiplayer
with custom real-time configs to disable certain sheaths for better customization!

Misaki's Immersive Foliage (MIF): Released! (Bamboo rework soon) NEW CONFIG UPDATE!~
A complete remodel and retexture of Vintage Story's leaves and bushes for a more interesting composition for trees 
and canopies. Runs about 3% faster than vanilla while looking gorgeous too!

Wanda's Gizmos / Movement Tweaks (WGMT): Released! (Rope Config update soon)
A fully-functional grappling hook, with two modes: "Indiana Jones" esque swinging, or "James Bond's grapple-gun" as a mechanized pull. Balanced based on how much rope you have! Will be paired with new movement such as diving, rolling, vaulting, sliding down steep walls, hanging, and more! Each WGMT update will come with two versions, "Pure" grappling hook-only, and "Full" with both grappling hook and the movement tweaks too!

Sofia's Reach-Around (RS): Beta (Initial release Soon)
A port of the quark / MC Bedrock mechanic to place blocks from the top/side without directly looking at the face

Nia's Realistic Soil (MIF): Alpha (Initial release TBD)
A recoloring of all dirt to match the rock strata below it for better blending (don't worry, it won't add 20 new dirt varieties, or need new worldgen)
