Canvas Renderer Mod – 1.19, 1.18.2 – Advanced Rendering Engine for Fabric

Hardware Requirements and Performance:

Canvas targets moderate to high-end hardware but should work on any PC that supports OpenGL 2.1 and GLSL shaders.

Canvas will almost certainly improve chunk-loading performance vs Vanilla Minecraft. Frame rates may be better or slightly worse, depending on what is being rendered.

Current Stable Features for Players:

• Faster chunk loading
• Improved lighting
• Hardcore darkness (terrain only)
• Less foggy fog

Current Stable Features for Mod Authors:

• Block models are dynamic when chunks are rebuilt – not necessary to pre-bake all variants
• Item models are dynamic – not necessary to pre-bake all variants
• Emissive materials
• Improved lighting for models with non-cubic geometry
• Multi-sprite materials for borders and blended/composite texturing effects
• Per-quad control over render layer, lighting, shaders and conditions (see below)

Experimental Features (breaking changes are likely):

• Material Shaders – mod authors can define custom shaders for model materials
• Conditional Materials – materials that are only rendered when a global condition is true
• Apply shaders and emissive effects during item rendering
