FREX - Rendering Extensions for Minecraft

FREX is a specialized rendering API designed specifically for Minecraft mods. This technology opens up completely new possibilities for developers, allowing them to create content that was previously unattainable in the standard game.

Compatibility and Support

Currently, FREX is available exclusively for the Fabric modding platform, but developers have already announced plans to create a Forge version in the future.

Built-in Capabilities

FREX includes its own rendering system called Pastel, which implements most of the API's features (excluding shaders). However, the system is designed in such a way that developers can create their own renderer implementations with improved performance or additional features.

Integration with Other Mods

Currently, the only renderer that fully implements FREX capabilities is the Canvas mod. There are also several mods (such as JMX) that actively use this API's capabilities in their work.

Important Information for Users

Typically, renderer mods and other projects using FREX include it automatically in their packages. Therefore, in most cases, you won't need to download and install FREX separately. It is presented in our catalog solely for informational purposes, so users can familiarize themselves with its capabilities.
