Leaf blocks seem to be glitched on fast graphics in the 14w25a snapshot. Not sure if the has been purposely done or not.

I hope this gets removed soon
Wouldn't it be nice if it was opposite... close by leave blocks would render as "fancy" while those far away (like 16 to 32 blocks) would be "fast.
I'm getting similar results.
On fast graphics:
leaf blocks close up are rendered opaque and ugly, while
more distant leaf blocks still have transparency.
The opaque version of the leaf blocks has been removed in this release. I don't know if that was a mistake, but it was unfortunate. Choosing the "fill" color of opaque leaf blocks is an important way texture artist make fast graphics less noticeable.
