Did someone say swaying grass?

[warped gull]

Rendering 286702 grass instances...

i think my fps tanked more due to the the 32 chunk render without sodium lmao

[warped gull]

is actually compatible with sodium, with shaders idek yet

[karmic storm]

now this is epic

[misty dawn]

is this shader instancing or just a shit tone of block entities. Like this looks really cool but alla that with block entities?

[warped gull]

it used to be: https://discord.com/channels/507304429255393322/1456208782689308744

[warped gull]

now its instanced mesh thanks to @karmic storm

[misty dawn]

That's really cool. Nice job!

[warped gull]

the only thing i have to figure out now are the rendering orders, its a pain i dont really understand it

it just renders through fog lol

dont even get me started on shaders

[misty dawn]

I love shaders and hate that at once.

[warped gull]

love hate relationship fr

oh i guess they glow in the dark too

[misty dawn]

fr, then can do the coolest shi, but are so picky and annoying sometimes. And confusing.

[warped gull]

heres a little update

can toggle on/off
and updates in realtime
also added the flowers /saplings aswell

[misty dawn]

uuuu, yeah the no lighting is eery

but it does look really good.

But, not to hackle, some shaders already do this somehow, no? How does your differ?

[warped gull]

mine is based on my wind instead of aimless swaying

i really need to update the showcase video lmao

[warped gull]

it will mainly blow in the direction of the wind but its also a bit sporadic

[misty dawn]

ohhhh. The showcase vid is really beautiful. Consider myself sold. I'll get that for sure!

[warped gull]

this was an old one which i think is better tbh
https://youtu.be/ROS479nz5QU

but that was before i switched to the particle rain system

[versed epoch]

Do they get crushed/pushed when you walk through them?

[warped gull]

no

i dont think thats someting i could even add tbh

well

maybe..

[warped gull]

they do now

[versed epoch]

Nice!

[vital tulip]

kinda extra but maybe adding a bounce back feature for really fast moving entities would be a nice touch

[misty dawn]

@warped gull I found an issue with your mod. The left one is with your mod and the right one without. I had a similar issue before and it was due to huge or not 1:1 ration sized images. Please fix this. Like idk why this happens but you can see the difference clearly.

[warped gull]

It might be the mipmap thing again, but i patched that, anyways you should submit an issue through the appropriate channel instead of here

Consider having TNT or any explosion place a temporary "force field" wherever it happens that blows grass away from it for like a second
