## 🚀 A blazing fast alternative renderer for Minecraft

### Discord

https://discord.gg/NTuK8bQ2hn

### Matrix

https://matrix.to/#/#wgpu-mc:matrix.org

#### Intro

`wgpu` is a crate implementing the WebGPU specification in Rust. It's primary backends are Vulkan, DirectX 12, and Metal.

#### Goals

wgpu-mc is a standalone, mostly-batteries-included rendering engine written in Rust.

Electrum is a fabric mod that integrates wgpu-mc with Minecraft.

#### Current status

Both the engine and Electrum are both currently under active development.

wgpu-mc is fairly mature, while Electrum is more WIP.

#### WIP Features

The features listed below are not necessarily fully complete and

may still be bugged

Engine

- [x] Block models from standard datapacks
