Canvas Renderer Mod (1.19.2, 1.18.2) is a rendering library for Fabric mods that offers visual improvements for players, and also implements an API mod authors can use to implement rendering effects that would not be possible with the vanilla renderer.

Features:

Hardware Requirements and Performance:

Canvas targets moderate to high-end hardware but should work on any PC that supports OpenGL 2.1 and GLSL shaders.

Canvas will almost certainly improve chunk-loading performance vs Vanilla Minecraft. Frame rates may be better or slightly worse, depending on what is being rendered.

Current Stable Features for Players:

Faster chunk loading
Improved lighting
Hardcore darkness (terrain only)
Less foggy fog

Current Stable Features for Mod Authors:

Block models are dynamic when chunks are rebuilt – not necessary to pre-bake all variants
Item models are dynamic – not necessary to pre-bake all variants
Emissive materials
Improved lighting for models with non-cubic geometry
Multi-sprite materials for borders and blended/composite texturing effects
Per-quad control over render layer, lighting, shaders and conditions (see below)

Experimental Features (breaking changes are likely):

Material Shaders – mod authors can define custom shaders for model materials
Conditional Materials – materials that are only rendered when a global condition is true
Apply shaders and emissive effects during item rendering
