SpaceSB Remake 1.5 β "The Vulkan & GPU Compute Architecture Update"
Back in version 1.3, Space SandBox took its first major step by completely stripping away vanilla Minecraft mechanics to become a standalone cosmic simulation. Versions 1.4, 1.4.1, and 1.4.2 expanded the universe with supermassive black holes (Phoenix A*, TON 618, M87*), hypergiant stars (Stephenson 2-18), General Relativity, the Roche limit, and 64-bit (double / Vector3d) math. However, the engine was still held back by legacy OpenGL rendering and CPU-bound bottlenecks.
Version 1.5 completely rewrites the core of Space SandBox from the ground up, abandoning OpenGL entirely in favor of a pure Vulkan 1.3 API engine.
Both rendering and astrophysical calculations now run 100% on the graphics card via hardware-accelerated 64-bit Double Precision (fp64 / dvec4) Vulkan Compute Shaders.
!Attention! - This version of the mod is far from ideal. If you have weak hardware or want to play comfortably, the best choice for you is 1.4.2. In the future, version 1.5 will be improved and will become more stable and optimized.
Projects on Modrinth are automatically available through a Maven repository for use with JVM build tools such as Gradle. To learn more about the Modrinth Maven API, click here.
Note: When available, you should use the creator's maven repo instead as it will have transitive dependency information that the Modrinth Maven API does not. You may also end up with duplicate dependencies if you use a mix of Modrinth and non-Modrinth Maven repositories for your dependencies, because the group identifier will be different when served through the Modrinth Maven API.
