BetterRenderLib

BetterRenderLib (BRL) is a lightweight rendering library that significantly simplifies the mod creation process for developers. It allows adding various elements without performance loss or lag occurrence.

BRL Capabilities Without Additional Mods

Although the library is most effective when combined with other modifications, it offers several interesting features even when used independently:

• Support for .tbl format files instead of traditional .json for model creation. To apply, simply place the .tbl file in the same directory as the block model you want to replace, while maintaining the .tbl extension.

• Block texture simplification function that replaces detailed textures with the average color of the entire surface. This creates a smooth, plastic-like surface effect and works with both vanilla and modified blocks, as well as custom texture packs. To activate, use the '/brl plastic' command.

BRL Capabilities With Other Mods

When combined with other modifications, the library reveals its full potential:

• Ability to render blocks based on their location, similar to ISimpleBlockRenderingHandler. This allows blocks to change their appearance depending on surrounding objects or position in the world. Unlike TESR, which can cause lags and errors when multiple instances are used simultaneously, BRL ensures stable operation.

• Function to replace block state exclusively for rendering, allowing a block to be displayed in a specific state while maintaining all its original functions and properties.
