BufferStorage technically only requires OpenGL 4.4, but I already had 4.5 written everywhere. If it becomes a problem that going to 4.4 fixes I could probably roll back to that.

This mod adds a Level Of Detail (LOD) system to Minecraft.
|
|
This implementation renders simplified chunks outside the normal render distance
|
|
allowing for an increased view distance without harming performance.
|
|
|
|
Or in other words: this mod lets you see farther without turning your game into a slide show.
|
|

Note to self

============

|
|
|
The Minecraft source code is NOT added to your workspace in an editable way. Minecraft is treated like a normal Library. Sources are there for documentation and research purposes only.
|
|
|
|
Source code uses Mojang mappings.
|
|
|
|
The source code can be 'created' with the ./eclipse command and can be found in the following path:
|
|
minecraft-lod-mod\build\fg_cache\mcp\ VERSION \joined\ RANDOM_STRING \patch\output.jar
|
|
|
|
|
|
The mod requires OpenGL 4.5 (as of 10-13-2021)
