Better Foliage causing crashes and how to fix

OS	macOS Big Sur 11.1

Java Runtime	1.8.0
WesterosCraft	v1.12.2-forge-14.23.5.2854

Following the wiki on https://westeroscraft.com/wiki/guides/manually-building-the-westeroscraft-custom-client, the game crashes on launch. After several tries I found that the optional mod "Better Foliage" downloaded from the link that the wiki provided now requires a dependency called "Forgelin". Or the "Better Foliage" mod calls some Kotlin class causing the crash.

You can download Forgelin on https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods/shadowfacts-forgelin/files, and place the jar into the "mods" directory. Then the game should start without issues.

Also I suggest an update to the wiki and add the Forgelin download link.

P.S. the official launcher crashes too on my computer which led me to manually building the client and finally found the cause. I'm happier with one less Electron app on my computer though lol.

This is a great suggestion, thank you! geeberry can take a look at updating the guide.

Since we moved to doing the extra leaves effect "in-house" with block models, there's very little benefit to including BetterFoliage anymore; it only adds very minor cosmetic features like falling leaf particles, 3D flowers on lilypads, etc.

EDIT: I think perhaps a disclaimer of this sort should be included in the thread for manually building the launcher geeberry

Cool, this is good to know. Maybe remove the Better Foliage link so it won't be a blocker to the newcomers?
