Alpha 0.0.1
-First Alpha, Extensive TODO list
Congratulations for winning Mod of the Week :D
Although I do have a minor "bug" report with the leaf textures. If I understand how MC's quality settings work, fast for semi-transparent textures basically means that all pixels have their alpha channel set to 255. Transparent pixels in those textures aren't really transparent in a way that they don't have colour - they still have R, G and B values. In case that they were black before "deleted", Minecraft shows them as black, but in your case it's white which makes the trees look really weird when played on minimum settings.
In Gimp, you can fix this by painting all the transparent pixels black and then delete it using the eraser tool. You can also fill it with more leaf texutre and delete it, which would make the leaves look much more dense on minimum settings etc.
Your mod was also promoted on our official subreddit (https://www.reddit.com/r/MCreator/) and Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/MCreatorModMaker/).
If you use Paint.net you can also use the boltbait plugin for the application
https://forums.getpaint.net/topic/113220-boltbaits-plugin-pack-for-pdn-v4212-and-beyond-updated-july-16-2020/ I use it personally as it adds a lot of useful filters and other tools not just for textures but things that come in handy for transparency for example under adjustments there is one called transparency if you use this on your image you can move the slider to the right and it will make it Opaque. The plugin is really handy for thumbnails for youtube and adds some nicer filters.

thank you! And you too, I just realized you have in previous weeks as well!
