Vulkan PostFX

Vulkan PostFX 1.11.0

This release introduces the first experimental VPFX Native Runtime milestone.

Highlights

• Added VPFX Native Runtime v0 skeleton.
• Added VPFX v2 runtime roadmap documentation.
• Added native runtime dry-run support checks.
• Added native fullscreen pipeline planning.
• Added transient render target planning and lifecycle validation.
• Added mainTarget -> transientColor copy validation.
• Added the first builtin native fullscreen passthrough draw path.
• Added opt-in diagnostic mode that can skip the external PostChain path after a successful builtin native passthrough draw.

Native Runtime Status

The native runtime is still experimental and opt-in only.

Current supported native diagnostic path:

minecraft:main
  -> copy to transientColor
  -> builtin fullscreen passthrough native draw
  -> minecraft:main

This is currently limited to:

• single-pass native-v0-compatible graphs
• builtin passthrough shader only
• no user shader native execution
• no multi-pass
• no custom targets
• no scene_depth / shadow_depth native inputs
• no compute shaders

Verified

• ./gradlew build
• Minecraft 26.2 Snapshot 7 startup
• VPFX Minimal Showcase loading
• native runtime execute flag
• native diagnostic draw succeeded
• external PostChain skipped in diagnostic mode
• fallback backend remains available
• no black screen / no crash observed during local testing

Notes

• The default backend is still minecraft_postchain.
• Native runtime is not enabled by default.
• User VPFX shaders are not executed by the native runtime yet.
• This release is an experimental milestone for testing native runtime infrastructure.
