Vextris

Vextris 0.1.0

First stable release. It stabilizes the 0.1.0-alpha.1 baseline: the Java API, mesh resource format, mod ID and rendering implementation are unchanged.

What's new

• Published on Maven Central: io.github.dwom10912:vextris:0.1.0. Use mavenCentral(); no token or local repository needed.
• Release type is now Release instead of Alpha.

Included

• Load, validate and bake triangle and planar convex quad meshes from .vxmesh.json; paired .aflmesh.json files are still read for existing consumers.
• Immutable geometry, bone hierarchies and code-built meshes (MeshModel.builder()).
• Static meshes render at their bind pose; consumers can apply their own per-bone transforms.
• Rendering through Minecraft's vertex consumers, in cutout and translucent layers.
• Baked once per resource reload; F3+T is safe.
• Optional GeckoLib bridge: GeckoLib animates the bones, Vextris draws the mesh.
• Library only: adds no items, blocks or world generation.

Requirements

• Minecraft 1.20.1, Forge 47.4.22 or newer within 47.x, Java 17.
• GeckoLib is not required. The optional bridge is enabled only for GeckoLib 4.7.4.
• Remove any older Vextris JAR from mods before installing.

For developers

• compileOnly and runtimeOnly fg.deobf("io.github.dwom10912:vextris:0.1.0"). Do not bundle Vextris into your mod.
• In mods.toml, use versionRange="[0.1.0,0.2.0-alpha)". Existing [0.1.0-alpha.1,0.2.0-alpha) ranges already accept 0.1.0.

Known limits

• Flat normals, one texture per draw and CPU vertex submission. No GPU mesh cache, skinning, morph targets or model importer.
• Shader-pack compatibility is not certified.
• GeckoLib 4.8.4: core drawing works; the animation bridge is off by default and not certified.
