CrankShaft Mod (26.3, 1.12.2) – Stop Lag From Crowded Mobs and Block Entities

CrankShaft Mod ports the Flywheel rendering engine and the Vanillin instancing toolset into a single library. This mod gives the game a unified way to draw mobs and block entities using GPU instancing on your graphics card. It also packs in Vanillate, a built-in option that brings this fast rendering method to vanilla objects. Vanillate stays off by default so your world renders like normal until you turn it on.

Features:

• GPU Instancing Engine: Uses your graphics card to draw repeated mobs and block entities on one unified rendering path.
• Bundled Vanillate Mode: Includes instanced rendering for vanilla mobs and block entities right inside the main mod file.
• Keeps vanilla instancing turned off at first so nothing changes in your game until you opt in.
• Lets you turn instanced rendering on or off for single mobs and block entities one at a time.
• Handles custom instance formats and custom shaders to process rendering data smoothly.
• Uses a custom shader loading and templating system to manage CPU and GPU tasks behind the scenes.

Configuration:

• "enabled": true: turns on Vanillate instanced rendering in config/vanillin.json when running on Fabric.
• enabled = true: turns on Vanillate instanced rendering in config/vanillin-client.toml when running on NeoForge.

How to Use:

1. Open config/vanillin.json on Fabric or config/vanillin-client.toml on NeoForge.
2. Set "enabled": true on Fabric or enabled = true on NeoForge to opt in and turn on Vanillate.
3. Switch individual mobs and block entities on or off per entry inside the same file.
