About this project

What does Fast Noise add?

<center>

Keep Android Open | Contact Regulators to stop Google's lockdown of Android

</center>

Fast Noise is a modern optimization mod to improve world generation times. I regularly update the mod to latest minecraft versions, bring improvements to the mod, and provide stable releases.

Does the mod change world generation? The mod maintains vanilla parity, including with any datapacks. Do keep in mind, Vanilla non-determinism.

Can I use custom worldgen mods with this? Yes, I try my best to maintain mod compatibility, and only modify safe code. Specific optimizations that may affect mod compatibility are disabled by default.

FastNoise is part of Reverie Projects, check out our other mods as well.

How does this mod work?

Fast noise optimizes storing block and biome data into chunks for the duration of worldgen.

<details> <summary> Technical Details </summary>

Fast noise replaces populateNoise,populateBiomes in NoiseChunkGenerator and surfaceBuilder in SurfaceBuilder.

Fast noise optimizes world generation by making several strong assumptions about how world generation works. By replacing vanilla's generic and debug code for world storage with faster, more packed calculations, fast noise achieves faster throughput.

Some key methods used to achieve that are, reducing allocations, avoiding palette resizing, delaying/packing block counting, precalculating data, caching block state information and more.

How fast is it?

About 10-18% improvement to overall worldgen in overworld in 1.21.11 on latest versions.
Much higher improvement in nether, end

Incompatible mods

Moonrise is incompatible, as It changes minecraft internals drastically
Noisium is incompatible, as Fast Noise is intended as a replacement for noisium.
Anti-Xray is incompatible for now, as it needs to put extra data in minecraft block storage, which breaks fastnoise
