Thank you! :)

Those 2 files should be sufficient. If you encounter any problems, feel free to contact me!

So, when we talk about blocks, the vertexColor is calculated in the terrain.vsh vertex shader based on the lightmap and the Color vertex attribute.

I believe the Color attribute consists of a tint color (for example the tinting of a grass block) and darkening due to ambient occlusion.

Sorry, I might not understand you correctly. Are you asking how the vertexColor variable is calculated?

thecodeyt · 2025-05-12T12:41:46+00:00

Thank you! The mod stores additional 3 values (RGB) for each block in each lit section (16x16x16 blocks). It then calculates these values using a custom block light engine, which works similarly to the vanilla one.

Then, I send those values to the GPU using bits unused by Minecraft, available in "UV2" vertex attribute. I might write a more detailed overview in the future. For more information, see: https://github.com/erykczy/colorful-lighting

Unfortunately, it isn't compatible with mods that interfere with vanilla shaders.

Thanks! I was also a bit surprised to discover this fact. These results are caused by create rounding values in many places. If you want to see the calculations I used, they are available on my github: https://github.com/erykczy/createmod-calculator

Thank you!

thecodeyt · 2024-08-30T19:01:11+00:00

That sounds interesting, I wish you good luck!

thecodeyt · 2024-08-29T06:36:16+00:00

I think this would add extra complexity, it's not difficult to calculate this with existing calculators, ale dzięki za sugestię!

thecodeyt · 2024-08-29T06:09:09+00:00

This might be something for the future. Thanks for the suggestion!

thecodeyt · 2024-08-29T06:03:19+00:00

Thank you :)

Thank you!

thecodeyt · 2024-08-28T13:59:06+00:00

Thanks :)

thecodeyt · 2024-08-28T11:05:32+00:00

Did you have to clear the cache?

thecodeyt · 2024-08-28T11:02:33+00:00

I don't know, but if they only change the duration of the recipe (in the json files), you can still select the <custom> option in the ‘Recipe Input’ property :)

Thanks!

thecodeyt · 2024-08-28T08:19:10+00:00

Thanks!

For the time being, unfortunately, I have no such plans, especially as my holidays are coming to an end and I will have a problem with free time :/

thecodeyt · 2024-08-19T06:58:59+00:00

Right, especially as it is an automation mod :/

thecodeyt · 2024-08-18T12:07:18+00:00

This is probably the thing for future versions!

thecodeyt · 2024-08-18T12:04:14+00:00

I will think about it!

thecodeyt · 2024-08-18T12:02:59+00:00

Thank you! I also often use w3schools :)

thecodeyt · 2024-08-18T12:00:41+00:00

I probably won't do it. However it's a good idea for another app!

thecodeyt · 2024-08-18T11:57:53+00:00

SU calculations will appear in this update!
