New Leaf Shapes
This pack adds 5 new leaf block shapes to choose from:
Bushy Leaves 1 - Gives leaf blocks a bushy model and rounded edges in order to make them less blocky.
Bushy Leaves 2 - Alternate style of bushy leaves that are wider and easier to see through.
Bushy Leaves 3 - A third style of bushy leaves that are a bit taller. This one also makes leaf blocks look like vines when placed on the side of logs.
Rounded Leaves - Gives leaf blocks the same rounded model that chorus flowers use.
Dynamic Hollow Leaves - This one will make leaves change shape based on the blocks around them. It will also cause the back faces of leaf blocks to not render, which makes tree tops completely hollow and lets more light shine through them when using Vibrant Visuals.
Here is what each shape looks like in game:


All new leaf shapes with Vibrant Visuals:

Known Issues
The method this pack uses to change block models is pretty limited, which means there are some issues with each leaf shape:
Bushy Leaves 1 - Causes issues with leaf biome tinting
Bushy Leaves 2 - Leaves will cast weird shadows when using Vibrant Visuals
Bushy Leaves 3 - Causes issues with leaf biome tinting, and will sometimes make leaves turn invisible
Rounded Leaves - Breaks the color of biome tinted leaves when in your inventory or held in your hand
All of these new leaf shapes have x-ray glitches that can cause you to see straight through any blocks behind them.
None of these issues are fixable unfortunately, but they shouldn't have too much of an impact and don't always occur.
Other Resource Pack Compatibility
This pack should be compatible with most other resource packs! Just make sure to apply this pack ABOVE any others that you are using.
Also, these custom leaf shapes won't work on any non-vanilla leaf blocks.
