Latest release (for Vintage Story 1.21.0, outdated):
pomshadercache_v1.1.3.zip 1-click install
The mod is in a testing state, so its stability is not guaranteed.
Loading a large number of shaders can take a long time due to compilation.
This mod saves the compiled shader and loads it the next time, skipping the time-consuming compilation step.
If the changes did not automatically reload the shaders, or any visual bugs occurred, try deleting the cache folder and reloading the shaders (for example, using the .reload shaders command or by reloading the world).
The cache folder is located at the following paths:
Windows: %APPDATA%\VintagestoryData\Cache\pomshadercache
Linux/Mac: ~/.config/VintagestoryData/Cache/pomshadercache

does this work or did they stop working on it?
Question, Does this still function as intended in 1.22.6?
Xytabich Could we get some more info on how this works? Does it have ane effect with the vanilla rendering? Is it only helpful for situations where you are using modded shaders?
Does this work on 20.12? And if so, does a multiplayer server need this installed or is it client side?
Worth mentioning (and I am just assuming) the initial load will probably be longer as its got to cache the shaders for the first time ever.
Don't know about the comments from 2024, but this does indeed speed it up slightly. For me, it all loads at once now instead of being chunky.
DarkThoughts My world loading times aren't 2+ minutes long, but I agree this mod doesn't appear to be doing anything. My worlds load the same wether it's installed or not.
Doesn't seem to do anything for me. With or without the mod the world load times are persistently 2+ minutes long.
