Features ⭐:

  • DSA system for VBO/EBO/FBO/Textures
  • RBO depth
  • Pool system for VBO/EBO
  • "VAO <--> Format" cache
  • Vectorization(via jdk.incubator)
  • UI text Batching
  • Fast collections in loading systems
  • GL targets cache

DSA(Included in game from version 1.21.11):

DSA(direct-state access) buffers(VBO, EBO, FBO), allows you not to bind buffers to render, reducing the number of operations, also adds a VBO/EBO pool, which creates a config-defined size value and allows you to reuse buffers.

RBO(>1.21.11):

Uses a Renderbuffer(RBO) for depth (which also uses DSA if it enabled on "FBO only" or "All") instead of texture, this slightly increases performance.

SIMD:

Accelerates CPU computations(in Frustum(~1.21.1) and Weather rendering(~1.21.11)) using the Vector API from the jdk.incubator module
Requires a JVM argument to run:

Problem-solving policy:

  • If issue marked as “Bug/Compat,” it will have the highest priority.

- If issue marked as “Inaccuracy,” it has a low priority and implies that there is minor inaccuracy in the game process, which can be resolved by disabling config setting.
- If the game crashes, you should start by checking the JVM arguments to see if the jdk.incubator argument is present.

Important ⚠️:

If your GPU's OpenGL is lower than 4.5, some features will be unavailable!
RBO not compatible with shaderpacks.
Since minecraft 1.21.10 GpuTape support will be discontinued(Use GPUBooster instead).
