FOSS gamedev and creative worlds

I think forests are too dense in mgv7. When i'm close to a forest I'm experiencing a big fps drop. Maybe it's because of density. Especially in jungle forests. But confiers too. Jungle: 15-20 fps pine: 35-40 fps. I usually have more than 60 fps when no forests are around or just apple trees. I use 0.4.13, tried with no mods, new world.
Is there a setting that I could put in minetest.conf to make forests less dense? Also I don' t like them, hard to walk between the trees because they are too close to each other.

Yes, that's a very common problem. I think we shouldn't reduce the tree density, forests are forests. But you can change the leaves settings to make trees faster to render.
In minetest.conf:

or:


You can also change it in settings tab, in Client / Graphics / In-Game / Basic / Leaves style.

Little better now. Thanks.
