About this project

What does Shader Cache add?

The mod is in a testing state, so its stability is not guaranteed.

Loading a large number of shaders can take a long time due to compilation.
This mod saves the compiled shader and loads it the next time, skipping the time-consuming compilation step.

If the changes did not automatically reload the shaders, or any visual bugs occurred, try deleting the cache folder and reloading the shaders (for example, using the .reload shaders command or by reloading the world).

The cache folder is located at the following paths:
Windows: %APPDATA%\VintagestoryData\Cache\pomshadercache
Linux/Mac: ~/.config/VintagestoryData/Cache/pomshadercache
