An actual better grass and snow mod for Fabric.
Have you ever used the MCPatcher/OptiFine better grass feature? I did, and I didn't like it at all. The main issue is that it's too rough even at Fancy settings. That's why I made my own mod to fix this issue and provide an alternative to one of the OptiFine features on the Fabric ecosystem! Grass blocks will now connect, and the nearby grass blocks will be smoothed.
Better snow with the optional included resource pack:
Better "snow" with the optional included resource pack in lush caves (credits to cavebiomes by SuperCoder79):

Using this mod is very simple!
Install it in your mods folder along with Fabric API and ModMenu.
You will notice that some blocks like grass blocks will connect together, if you want to try other options or want to have the same look as OptiFine you can look into the settings screen of the mod via ModMenu.
Just do ./gradlew shadowRemapJar and everything should build just fine!
