ScalableLux

A Fabric mod based on Starlight that improves the performance of light updates in Minecraft. This is done by taking advantage of multiple CPU cores in parallel.

Note: This is currently a work in progress and is not quite ready for use.

Why does this fork exist?

• Starlight is no longer maintained as a mod since Mar 8, 2024.
• The performance of vanilla lighting engine is still a bottleneck for high-performance chunk generation.
• Starlight's "stateless" design allows for parallel light updates. This is critical for allowing the chunk system to scale beyond 25 worker threads.
