Caxton

1.0.0-alpha.1

Initial experimental build using the Foreign Function & Memory ( FFM) API.

Caxton previously used the Java Native Interface (JNI) to interact with the native caxton-impl library, which handles text shaping and glyph rasterization (both conventional and MSDF). Java 22 added the Foreign Function & Memory (FFM) API as an alternative to JNI. Since Minecraft 26.1 requires Java 25, it is now possible to migrate to FFM.

Since this is a major change, this version might have bugs or performance issues. Please report them to our issue tracker!
