<h1>Starlight</h1>
<p>Forge mod for rewriting the light engine to fix lighting performance and lighting errors.</p>
<h2>Minecraft 1.20 Light engine changes</h2>
<p>Please see: <a href="https://gist.github.com/Spottedleaf/6cc1acdd03a9b7ac34699bf5e8f1b85c" rel="nofollow">https://gist.github.com/Spottedleaf/6cc1acdd03a9b7ac34699bf5e8f1b85c</a>
TL;DR
Mojang improved upon their own light engine using the same performance critical designs from Starlight. As a result, they have closed the performance gap, obsoleting Starlight on the client side.</p>
<h2>Compatibility</h2>
<p>Starlight can be installed either on the dedicated server or client. It is <em>not</em> required to be installed on both sides.
If you have Starlight on the server, clients can use Vanilla/Phosphor/Starlight to connect. Likewise, if you have Starlight on 
the client, you can connect to Vanilla/Phosphor/Starlight servers.</p>
<p>Starlight cannot be installed <em>with</em> Phosphor, they are completely incompatible. 
Browsing through <a href="https://github.com/PaperMC/Starlight/issues" rel="nofollow">Starlight's Issue Tracker</a> will show
further mod incompatibilities. Starlight is a rather destructive light engine rewrite, so it should be 
expected to break mods more often.</p>
<h2>Purpose</h2>
<p>Starlight was developed for higher scale dedicated servers, as they suffered performance problems due to how ungodly slow the
light engine was. The only solution was to create an extremely invasive mod which rewrote the entire light engine.
I ported the mod to fabric so that I can update it during snapshots, and decided that publishing it for 
all users, especially client users, would be beneficial. However, it does have the downside of being an invasive mod:
Being invasive didn't affect higher scale servers because they run on Bukkit.</p>
<p>Further reading on the technical details of how Starlight achieves its performance 
can be read here: <a href="https://github.com/PaperMC/Starlight/blob/fabric/TECHNICAL_DETAILS.md" rel="nofollow">TECHNICAL_DETAILS.md</a></p>
<h2>Performance for 1.20:</h2>
<p>Here are a few graphs showing performance in 2 areas on: Block editing at high y-levels, and normal block light updates:</p>
<p>~~Light engine time chunk generation Graph~~ has been removed as a benchmark as it is invalid for 1.20. Starlight and Vanilla are close enough on 1.20 that
this test is also useless.

<h2>Performance for 1.19.4 and below:</h2>
<p>Here are a few graphs showing performance in 3 critical areas: Chunk generation, Block editing at high y-levels, and normal block light updates:</p>
