# Why Minosoft is faster than Minecraft
|
||||
|
||||
Yes, it is true. There are a lot of reasons, I want to explain some of them, or at least bring the idea nearer
|
||||
|
||||
## Kotlin over Java
|
||||
|
||||
Sounds like magic and it is not magic. If you use kotlin, you use a different style of programming
|
||||
and that indeed can make it faster (e.g. `map[key]?.let` vs `if map.containsKey(key)) map.get(key) …`
|
||||
Also language features help out here (e.g. removing recursion layers with `inline`)
|
||||
|
||||
## Dirty hacks
|
||||
|
||||
Sometimes I do dirty hacks (like a default option to disable some unneeded feature such as biome noise).
|
||||
Also some stuff just gets implemented half way and some bugs (e.g. transparency) are a side effect, but they are not major.
|
||||
|
||||
## Consuming memory
|
||||
|
||||
Sounds bad, but your system memory has 1 job: getting used. With that principle in mind I can
|
||||
cache a lot of things (like 3d biomes) or block states. That often makes things WAY faster
|
||||
|
||||
## Code simplicity
|
||||
|
||||
Code should be simple. I try to write everything as simple as possible, not like Minecraft.
|
||||
Minecraft has a lot of pieces that not understandable. Normally simple codes is faster.
|
||||
|
||||
## Beging lighter
|
||||
|
||||
Meant in the meaning that a lot of stuff is not yet implemented. Should be a bad thing?
|
||||
|
||||
## Doing things different
|
||||
|
||||
Sometimes I am implementing things completely different from minecraft, but the result is the same
|
||||
(e.g. beds, signs not as block entity)
|
||||
|
||||
## Modern opengl
|
||||
|
||||
Minosoft does everything with shaders. Minecraft often still uses old opengl (i.e. pushing matrices, ...)
|
||||
|
||||
## Multithreading
|
||||
|
||||
Minosoft is pretty much only async. Minecraft does most stuff on one thread.
|
||||
|
||||
# Why it could be slower
|
||||
|
||||
## Multiple versions
|
||||
|
||||
Checking stuff for every version is expensive. Only one version is easy :)
|
||||
|
||||
## PixLyzer
|
||||
|
||||
All data is dynamic and "liable". That needs to be corrected (e.g. maps over arrays for registry id mapping)
