Parity means making features behave consistently across different Minecraft editions, most commonly between Minecraft: Java Edition and Minecraft: Bedrock Edition. Use this category to discuss released features that exist in both versions of the game but work differently. Please note that bugs are not parity issues and should be reported separately.

(Bedrock) Java's fancy leaves option

In java, leaves faces that are not in your line of sight are made transparent (kinda like glass). But in bedrock, all faces are visible at once, making leaves look "blocky" as a result (in optifine, this would the equivalent of the smart leaves option, which is in between fast and fancy). It'd be nice to have an option to enable Java's fancy leaves on higher end devices

    Correction: Optifine smart leaves are actually not the same as Bedrock leaves. I assumed they were because I was testing individual leaves, and they looked similar. But when I used actual trees I realized that Optifine would make faces of leaves that were connected to other leaves transparent too, giving the tree a hollow look. In bedrock, if leaves are connected to other leaves from all directions they become a solid non-transparent block

    I actually like the bedrock leaves much better. It makes the trees look more dense and lifelike.

    I always thought this looked better on bedrock. Just because it's on java doesn't make it the "correct" way.
