Hello there community,
i found a long time ago an annoying and laggy bug with the leaves.
The leaves are since beta 1.8 dark and produce laggs because of theyr transparency + by seeing the many shadows of them on fancy.

If you think the leaves are to dark, please suggest that in the MineCraft Forums: Suggestions.
When your machine / graphics card is not capable to play Minecraft with fancy graphics, then it's not a Minecraft issue or bug.
