Quick answer

Which Greedy Meshing release should I use?

Updated 8 months ago
alpha file 0.0.3
Game version 1.21.11
Loader Fabric

Greedy Meshing 0.0.3 targets 1.21.11 with Fabric. It must be installed on the client. Do not install it on the dedicated server. 1 required mod needs a matching file.

Where it goes

Is Greedy Meshing required on the client, server, or both?

It must be installed on the client. Do not install it on the dedicated server.

Client Required
Dedicated server Not supported
Loader for this release Fabric

What else does Greedy Meshing 0.0.3 need?

0.0.3. Change the file and its required mods may change too.

1 required mod needs a matching file

Install Fabric API, Sodium, Cloth Config API, Mod Menu and 2 more first, but 1 required mod has no matching file for this setup. Do not mix loader builds to force a match. 2 come through another mod in the chain.

About this project

What does Greedy Meshing add?

GreedyMeshing

GreedyMeshing is a rendering optimization mod for Fabric 1.21.11 that experiments with greedy meshing techniques for chunk geometry generation.

Overview

In vanilla Minecraft, block faces are typically generated individually during chunk mesh building. GreedyMeshing attempts to merge adjacent faces of the same block type into larger quads during mesh generation. This can reduce the number of faces generated for flat or uniform surfaces.

For example, a flat wall made from many identical blocks may be represented by fewer quads when possible.

Features

  • Greedy meshing algorithm
    Uses a sweep-based approach to merge adjacent block faces during chunk mesh generation.

  • Experimental performance optimization
    In some scenarios, reducing the number of generated faces may decrease geometry complexity and GPU workload.

  • Debug tools
    Includes a wireframe/debug mode for visualizing generated chunk meshes.

Compatibility

  • Designed for Fabric 1.21.11
  • Because it modifies parts of the rendering pipeline, it may conflict with other rendering or shader-related mods.

Status

This project is experimental and intended primarily for testing greedy meshing techniques in Minecraft’s rendering pipeline. Performance improvements may vary depending on hardware, world geometry, and mod combinations.
