Soft Foliage 1.4.0 Changelog

Soft Foliage 1.4.0 — Minecraft 26.2

Soft Foliage 1.4.0 is a major expansion of the mod’s original “leaves should feel soft” idea, adding broader foliage support, configurable platform behavior, berry-bush options, transportation support, and a proper in-game configuration interface.

New

• Added soft foliage support for bamboo.
• Added soft foliage support for azalea and flowering azalea.
• Added configurable Soft Platform behavior for supported foliage.
• Added configurable Soft Platform support for lily pads.
• Added configurable Sweet Berry Bush slowdown.
• Added configurable Sweet Berry Bush contact damage.
• Added configurable pass-through behavior for supported player-controlled transportation.
• Added an in-game Soft Foliage Settings screen.
• Added access through:
  • Pause Menu → Options → World Options → Soft Foliage Settings
  • /softfoliage config
• Added multiplayer configuration synchronization between client and server.
• Added server-authoritative configuration editing with permission checks.
• Added configuration revision handling to prevent stale edits from overwriting newer settings.

Soft Platform

Soft Platform now supports three behavior modes:

• Disabled — foliage remains fully passable.
• Crouch Only — supported foliage becomes solid while crouching.
• Always — supported foliage can briefly support players arriving from above while remaining passable from the sides and below.

Additional settings control:

• standing support duration;
• recovery/reset timing;
• fall cushioning;
• foliage-specific platform behavior.

Configuration

• Expanded the configuration schema for the new foliage and transportation options.
• Added automatic migration for older Soft Foliage configuration files.
• Server settings are authoritative while connected to a multiplayer server.
• Local settings are restored when disconnecting from a server.

Fixes & Polish

• Added the Soft Foliage Settings button cleanly into the vanilla World Options layout.

Requirements

• Minecraft 26.2
• Fabric Loader
• Fabric API
• Java 25

For multiplayer, Soft Foliage is required on both the client and server.
