Jozufozu 068692b4b9 Finding some common ground
- Make MeshPool common between instancing and indirect
- Remove empty instancers and delete meshes on indirect
- Inline IndirectModel into IndirectInstancer since it was basically
  just a thin wrapper
- Share one meshpool between all culling groups
- Always upload draw commands because the mesh may have moved
- No longer need to set the base instance in the apply shader

Flywheel

A modern engine for modded Minecraft.
Jenkins Discord Curseforge Downloads

About

The goal of this project is to provide tools for mod developers so they no longer have to worry about performance, or limitations of Minecraft's archaic rendering engine. That said, this is primarily an outlet for me to have fun with graphics programming.

Instancing

Flywheel provides an alternate, unified path for entity and tile entity rendering that takes advantage of GPU instancing. In doing so, Flywheel gives the developer the flexibility to define their own vertex and instance formats, and write custom shaders to ingest that data.

Shaders

To accomodate the developer and leave more in the hands of the engine, Flywheel provides a custom shader loading and templating system to hide the details of the CPU/GPU interface. This system is a work in progress. There will be breaking changes, and I make no guarantees of backwards compatibility.

Plans

  • Vanilla performance improvements
  • Compute shader particles
  • Deferred rendering
  • Different renderers for differently aged hardware

Getting Started (For Developers)

Add the following repo and dependency to your build.gradle:

repositories {
    maven {
        name "tterrag maven"
        url "https://maven.tterrag.com/"
    }
}

dependencies {
    implementation fg.deobf("com.jozufozu.flywheel:Flywheel-Forge:${flywheel_version}")
}

${flywheel_version} gets replaced by the version of Flywheel you want to use, eg. 1.18-0.3.0.3

For a list of available Flywheel versions, you can check the maven.

If you aren't using mixed mappings (or just want to be safe), add the following properties to your run configurations:

property 'mixin.env.remapRefMap', 'true'
property 'mixin.env.refMapRemappingFile', "${projectDir}/build/createSrgToMcp/output.srg"

This ensures that Flywheel's mixins get properly loaded in your dev env.
