About this project

What does Genesis: Core Lib add?

⚙️ Genesis: Core

The High-Performance Engine & Unified Settings Hub for the Genesis Suite NeoForge 26.1 Minecraft 26.1 Performance Guaranteed Settings Hub Java 25


⚠️ Library Notice

Genesis: Core is the foundational engine and library for the Genesis mod ecosystem. It runs quietly in the background to power atmospheric and terrain modules like Genesis: Horizon and Genesis: Atlas. Install it alongside any Genesis module to unlock its features.


The central thermodynamic backbone and performance engine of Genesis.

Genesis: Core provides the foundational climate, calendar, and performance architecture for the entire Genesis family. Built with an uncompromising 20 TPS guarantee, it replaces Minecraft's dated, static environmental rules with a living, thermodynamic world—all while ensuring your game runs as smooth as silk.


🌟 At a Glance: Core Features

System What It Does Player & Server Benefit
🎛️ Unified Settings Hub Central configuration screen for all Genesis mods Press G anywhere to tweak all settings in one clean place
🌡️ Thermodynamic Engine Real °C temperatures based on sun, altitude & season Water freezes strictly at 0 °C; realistic climate physics
🪵 Radiant Heat & Drafts Campfires heat rooms; open windows create drafts Bases feel warm and cozy; smart shelters block wind and rain
⏱️ Cinematic Benchmark 30-second camera fly-through stress test One-click hardware rating, frametime graphs & 1080p PNG scorecard
⭐ Recommended Profile Hardware auto-tuning intelligence Analyzes your PC and selects the optimal graphic preset
⚡ Zero-Stutter Pipeline Decoupled render loop & freeze prevention Butter-smooth 144+ FPS and rock-solid 20 TPS server stability

🎛️ One Unified Settings Hub (Press G)

No more hopping through multiple confusing configuration screens or manually editing text files. Every Genesis mod links directly into a unified in-game menu:

  • Everything in One Spot: Manage graphics, performance profiles, weather intensity, and calendar settings from a single, clean interface.
  • Modern Controls: Tactile toggle switches, intuitive sliders with real units (%, blocks, minutes), and instant default reset buttons.
  • Live Application: Changes take effect immediately the second you apply them—no game restarts required.
  • Instant Access: Open the hub at any time by pressing the G key, clicking the G icon on your title/pause screen, or typing /genesis config.

🌡️ Living °C Temperature & Thermodynamic Physics

Minecraft biomes normally rely on static, artificial temperature tags. Genesis replaces this with a continuous, living thermodynamic simulation:

  • True Celsius Physics: Temperature shifts dynamically based on your altitude, the time of day, active seasons, and approaching storm fronts.
  • Physical Freezing Point: Water freezes strictly at 0 °C—even a desert oasis can skim over with ice during a clear, freezing desert night.
  • Realistic Snowmelt: Snow layers and icicles melt naturally according to ambient warmth, rather than arbitrary biome boundaries.

🪵 Campfire Warmth, Drafts & Smart Shelters

Transform your base into a genuine sanctuary against the harsh elements:

  • Radiant Heat Sources: Campfires, furnaces, lava, and torches cast real physical warmth into enclosed rooms.
  • Realistic Room Drafts: Enclosed rooms stay insulated from external cold. Leaving a door or window open during a gale allows cold air drafts to sweep inside.
  • Intelligent Shelter Detection: The engine distinguishes between vertical rain and sideways-driven blizzards. Roofs keep out rain, while solid walls shield you from howling winds.

⏱️ Cinematic Benchmark & Hardware Auto-Tuning

Wondering how well your PC handles modern visuals? Genesis includes a professional, built-in benchmarking suite:

  • 30-Second Fly-Through Spline: Experience an automated cinematic camera flight gliding through dense forests, swooping through deep caverns, and climbing into stormy skies.
  • Interactive Frametime Graph: Pinpoint any micro-stutters or frame pacing issues with a clean visual timeline.
  • ⭐ Recommended Profile: The benchmark analyzes your hardware capabilities and automatically recommends the best graphic preset (Cinematic, Balanced, or Performance) for your PC.
  • Shareable Scorecard: Automatically exports a stylish 1080p scorecard PNG image to share your hardware rating with friends.
