Features

• Different voxel types and shapes.
• Chunk-based rendering and meshing.
• In parallel mesh building, light updates, and other world updats.
• Multi-threaded data access.
• Ambient occlusion and smooth lighting.
• Animated textures.
• Connected Textures.
• Custom shaders and shader effects.
• Vertical and horizontal chunks.
• Pre-Baking Lighting system.
  • Flood fill lighting system for local sources.
  • Support for different colored lights.
  • Sunlight calculation for global illumination (like Minecraft)
• World Data API - Easy tools to build worlds.
• Easy to use light API and light options.
• Easy to use auto-update world on voxel add/remove
  • Will auto update light sources for you.

In Development

• Headless server use.
• Physics and collision detection.
  • Working to develop some helper functions to determine what voxel the player is looking at or touching.
  • Instead of using collision detection with the actual meshes it will calculate collision in the world thread.
• Fluid flow and magma flow like Minecraft.
• Same voxel different colors
  • Set a color directly on voxel data.
  • Options to create shade gradient with neighbors.
• Well-written wiki with tutorials on how to do anything that you could possibly want.
• Standard data format for the engine that will be called either .dsd or .dved for saving the world data and or structures.

Long Term Goals

• Dynamic Lighting system.
  • Will use Babylon's built-in dyamic lights and shadow casting.
• More shader effects and custom voxel substances
• Structure creator software.
