Fast Better Grass โ€“ Untinted Edition

A micro-pack that removes biome coloring from Fast Better Grass so it matches classic/alpha, fixed-palette foliage packs.

๐ŸŒฟ Why This Exists

Packs like Golden Days + Alpha Addon and PACP + Beta Addon + Alpha Addon revive the bright, always-green look of Minecraft Classic/Alpha.
Fast Better Grass keeps terrain edges tidy, but its full grass-blocks still pick up biome tintsโ€”so plains, jungles, swamps, etc. show jarring color shifts.
This add-on keeps Fast Better Grassโ€™s sides overlay while locking the grass color to the grass_block_top.png texture, giving you seamless greenery everywhere.

๐Ÿ—’๏ธ Whatโ€™s Inside

The only file touched is:

assets/minecraft/models/block/grass_block.json

It simply drops every tintindex: 0, disabling biome tint:
