Rendering internals for mods

Status: Planned. How mod rendering will plug into the frame graph, the snapshot and the GPU-driven paths. Nothing on this page is in the API yet; the names in the final API may differ.

What this will cover

This page will explain the frame graph, the render snapshot (why render callbacks never see half-updated ticks), bindless resources and the fast paths mod models use, once the rendering API exists (Rendering (blocks, entities, items)).

What you can do today

• HUD layers and screens draw through the GUI renderer in the frame (Screens, widgets and 2d drawing); do the work on the tick and only draw in the frame.
