Have you ever had a build ruined by Vanilla lighting glitches?
Well I did, and I was mad but thankfully I do mods, so I fixed those pesky glitches!
Alfheim is a lighting engine for Minecraft aiming at being more optimized and fixing bugs.
It is a fork (or a rewrite depending on your views on the ship of theseus) of Hesperus which is a fork of Phosphor

<@381182250865262592> how does the mod compare to starlight in performance?
Huh
Can't compare it lol
Sadly I have no way to benchmark
And I have no motivation to backport the benchmark thing for Starlight
It shouldn't be as fast as starlight as of now it is just faster Phosphor with a lot of Vanilla bug fixes
I hate CF so hard right now because for some reason I can't upload one of the GIF's to the image tab

Does this mod fix models bigger than one block getting progressively darker the bigger they are or the more they extend out of their hitbox when having blocks placed beside them?

Does this mod fix models bigger than one block getting progressively darker the ...
Huh, try it and find out I doubt it, I think the only fix for that is to disable AO on the model as AO was never made to support bigger than one block blocks

@weary cairn Any chance to get wither config for mixinbooter 7.x? 🥺
midnight shoal

until i decided to scrap using the mod that required it

@midnight shoal What mod was it?
Because I'd like to move on as well
And it's a serious pain to try and find/remember all the mods that use mixinbooter within a modpack
I'm literally going to commission a python script to detect mixinbooter 7.x mods because it's going to be such a pain to find all outdated mods

<@83979903199875072> What mod was it?

I would much rather spend my time making incompatible mods compatible
So if you find the mod that is causing issues tell me and if it does not have a better alternative I can fork it
Maybe you have better hurt timer?

Alfheim just got a new update (1.2) which makes the internals simpler while introducing better performance!

Alfheim 1.3 just released with important fixes to crashes introduced in 1.2 and the arrival of deduplicated queues which prevents the same location from being updated multiple times!

after adding alfheim to dj2, storage drawers (and a few other blocks, such as that one twilight forest naga stone that has depth) have been having a weird shading issue when underneath another block. i cannot reproduce this outside of dj2. couldnt find anything about this on github.
wanted to know if you had any ideas what this could be about
heres some images showing the issue

I'll try it on my server
This might be fixed in the next update (warning: work on it has not yet started).
The next update will be pretty major and will aim to fix every edge cases and lighting glitches. I have started a collection of lighting issues that I have and can reproduce for this.
(Also I now have an actual server where I can test stuff on, like with actual builds and stuff)
Roadmap of fixes is:
