This version brings multiple performance improvements and new graphical feature:
- CPU and GPU rendering up to 15-30% faster depending on hardware.
- Smoother frametime on higher render distances.
- Chunk building (loading) up to 5x times faster.
- New lighting system which takes into account non-full blocks for ambient occlusion (needs to be enabled on Video Settings -> Smooth Lighting -> On (Sub-block)).
Perfomance
- GPU performance uplift by rendering on swap chain images directly
- Reduced GPU memory consumption and improved performance by using per rendertype buffers
- Reduced GPU memory usage due to AreaBuffer rework
- CPU performance improvement when using direct draw due to removal of section offset push constants
- Reworked section graph and bfs to improve performance and frame time stability
- Improved chunk build time by up to 5 times
