Latest release (for Vintage Story 1.19.0, outdated):
pomshadercache_v1.1.1.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

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.
