STYGION Render

Early beta of our own render pipeline on top of Sodium: sky, water, sunlight and shadows without a shader pack. Off by default.

STYGION Render is an early beta, and it is switched off by default. It is a render pipeline of its own on top of Sodium, made for STYGION MC (a big Create / Aeronautics modpack): the goal is shader-like looks on laptops without Iris and without a shader pack. It is not there yet, so it ships switched off and you turn it on yourself (Mods, STYGION Render, Config, or enabled = true in config/stygion_render-client.toml).

What it does today, when switched on

  • Its own sky and clouds, water with waves and reflections, sunlight and shade colors, soft sun and moon shadows on terrain, height haze, a soft bloom and a color grade. The hand, the HUD and menus are never touched.
  • Dynamic world resolution: when the graphics card cannot keep the target frame rate, only the world is drawn at a lower resolution and sharpened.

Known issues in this beta

  • The sky can break up while you move.
  • Block light (torches, redstone) looks almost like vanilla: no colored light yet, shadows are weak.
  • Frame rate is a few percent below plain Sodium on our test laptop.

Works with Sodium 0.8 (required). With Iris installed it steps aside while an Iris shader pack is on. Switched off, none of its rendering runs and Sodium draws the game.

What it reads and sends It sends nothing anywhere: no network connections, no telemetry, no update check. It reads only its config file.

Requirements NeoForge 1.21.1, Java 21, Sodium 0.8.x. Client only.

STYGION Render je raná beta a ve výchozím stavu je vypnutý. Vlastní vykreslovací pipeline nad Sodiem pro STYGION MC: cílem je vzhled jako se shadery i na noteboocích, bez Iris a bez shaderpacku. Tam ještě není, proto je vypnutý a zapneš si ho sám (Mods, STYGION Render, Config, nebo enabled = true v config/stygion_render-client.toml). Dnes umí vlastní oblohu a mraky, vodu s vlnami a odrazy, sluneční světlo, měkké stíny, opar, záři a barevné ladění a dynamické rozlišení světa. Známé chyby: obloha se při pohybu může rozpadat, světlo bloků je skoro jako ve vanille (zatím bez barevného světla, slabé stíny), FPS o pár procent pod čistým Sodiem. Vypnutý nekreslí nic, hru kreslí Sodium. Nic neposílá ven. Jen klient. All Rights Reserved.
