Disable better grass by default
Closed this issue · 3 comments
What config to change
Keep BetterGrassify in as a mod, but turn it off for new instances of Fabulously Optimized.
Why should it be disabled
- OptiFine parity
- Have received multiple questions how to disable that
- At least 5 people on Discord are suggesting this
- #879
Why should it not be disabled
- Concerns about discoverability (would people know the modpack even has it?)
- Concerns about method switching (if the modpack uses a resource pack instead of the mod for some time, though that seems like less of an issue lately)
- Disparity with connected textures which would still remain default-enabled (unless someone proposes to change that too)
Additional information
For reference, this is how the mod can be toggled as of 10.2.0-beta.2:
- Options -> Video Settings... -> BetterGrassify -> Better Grass Mode -> Off/Fast/Fancy
- Mods -> BetterGrassify -> (settings) -> Better Grass Mode -> Off/Fast/Fancy
Mod's full removal from the modpack is not considered.
One thing to do would also be to make a resource pack with configuration. I'm not sure what the name of the mod that allows this is, or how it can be done via Fast Better Grass.
I must say that BetterGrassify really has a screen full of features and is not very user-friendly in terms of presentation.

Anecdotally, there were much more support questions about how to disable better grass while it was done as a resource pack. And people overall preferred fancy grass, mod compatibility and other options.
As long as there is a clear main toggle for the mod, I don't think options are a problem.
