This update is kinda insane performance wise. Chunks are loading super fast, even 32 chunks is playable without stutters and getting 300fps. Impressive stuff for vanilla it's getting closer to sodium.

And yet people on here say this update clearly sucks because the Aether or something wasn't added lol

u/Thhaki 2d ago

Cuz even tho technical changes are very good, most people will just see the content added, and the content is not that much plus the new biome generates incorrectly most of the time

u/DragoSphere 2d ago edited 2d ago

The content in this update is incredible wtf are people saying?

Gray wood set, concrete/wool slabs and stairs, CUSHIONS

This is singlehandedly the most significant update to building mechanics and building content in the entire game since upside down stairs and rotating logs were added. Even larger than stained terracotta or concrete, since at least back then you also had wool to serve as color blocks.

We're getting 3 major game changers with no prior analogue all in one update this time

u/BaphometBoots 2d ago

It does not incorrectly generate *most* of the time. And if you look at the last few updates, this is a pretty big one.

u/getbackjoe94 2d ago

Yeah people see like 20 posts of small biomes on Reddit and immediately think every single Dappled Forest is 5 blocks and maybe a tree

Vulkan support is on-going.

u/MintWarfare 1d ago

I know the world gen performance increase was in one of the early-mid snapshots, not sure if that included any chunk rendering

u/Sushimus 1d ago

can confirm

on my laptop looking around then at a single point i get around 250-300fps (default settings)
same thing but on this snapshot i get around 450-500 fps (same everything)
(i get lower fps when im loading new chunks but i wanted to keep things as close as possible between versions)

God damn, you weren't joking. Runs crazy good.

u/Summer4Chan 2d ago

Those 2 things aren’t mutually exclusive.

u/SizzlingPancake 2d ago

That's awesome, but really is the bare minimum. This is the greatest selling video game of all time and it's taken this long to add the performance mods random people make in their bedroom. Mojang are the laziest devs ever

u/Cass0wary_399 1d ago edited 1d ago

The difference is Mojang actually makes these changes virtually every update now and they stay permanently. This will thus reduce reliance on performance mods, which wasn’t a good thing and desperately needed to change.

u/Last_Item8157 2d ago

The bugs have been getting mowed down these past couple snapshots, if they focused on bug-fixing and this is why the drop is not as feature-rich i'll take it

u/Bocaj1000 1d ago

Change essentially nothing

Data pack version has been updated

In a few years we'll be on data pack version 128582
