🌿 Why This Exists
Packs like locking the grass color and locking the grass color revive the bright, always-green look of Minecraft Classic/Alpha. Fast Better Grass keeps terrain edges tidy, but its full grass-blocks still pick up biome tints—so plains, jungles, swamps, etc. show jarring color shifts. This add-on keeps Fast Better Grass’s sides overlay while locking the grass color to the grass_block_top.png texture, giving you seamless greenery everywhere.

🗒️ What’s Inside
The *only* file touched is:
``` assets/minecraft/models/block/grass_block.json ```
It simply drops every `tintindex: 0`, disabling biome tint:
