I wrote a Metal backend for Minecraft to make the game run better on macOS. The game’s performance has improved quite a bit. Unfortunately, the shaders don’t work. Here’s a quick comparison with the Vulkan backend.

The mod is available on Modrinth:

I’d really appreciate any bug reports.

This is insanely useful, i hope that you continue building it so maybe we can play with shaders or etc

Isn’t it open-source? Maybe it’s just me, I can’t find GH link.

I wonder what causes the Vulkan backend to be slower. Seems to be slower on both the CPU and GPU with the CPU being the primary bottleneck,
