Findings

Major The face-rejection test drops boxes that only partly overlap a face in V.
Major When the camera stays still, the cubemap depth buffer is never refreshed.
Major Testing only the pixel-center ray misses small or distant boxes, which are then culled.
Minor An opaque block at the camera gives zero depth for every ray.
Minor In singleplayer, the hook also runs for server-side sections.
Major Sections without a block change never get a cache, so occlusion does nothing there.

@EntityCulling-Versionless/src/main/java/dev/tr7zw/entityculling/versionless/occlusionculling/CubemapOcclusionInstance.java:
- Around line 304-306: Update the face-rejection condition in
CubemapOcclusionInstance so the V-axis checks reject only projections fully
outside the face, matching the U-axis logic. Preserve the existing clamp that
handles partial overlap.
- Around line 320-351: Update the visibility check in the pixel loop so it
conservatively tests whether the box’s projected rectangle overlaps each pixel,
rather than requiring the pixel-center ray to intersect the box. Compare the
box’s nearest nonnegative distance with that pixel’s depthBuffer value,
preserving visibility when the overlapping pixel has sufficient depth.
- Around line 165-172: Update traceSingleRay to ignore opaque cells while the
ray remains in the camera’s starting cell, then stop at the first opaque cell
after the ray enters a non-opaque cell. Track whether the ray has left the
starting wall so ordinary occlusion behavior remains unchanged.

Review comments at @src/main/java/dev/tr7zw/entityculling/CullTask.java:
- Line 74: Update the CullTask pass to also call resetCache() on culling, and
add the method to OcclusionCulling so CubemapOcclusionInstance marks its depth
buffer for redraw even when the camera is stationary.

Review comments at
@src/main/java/dev/tr7zw/entityculling/mixin/LevelChunkSectionMixin.java:
- Around line 76-82: Update onSetBlockState to return without calling the data
provider unless the call is running on the client thread; keep the existing
onChange behavior for client-thread calls.

Review comments at
@src/main/java/dev/tr7zw/entityculling/provider/SimpleCacheProvider.java:
- Around line 33-43: Update prepareChunk to clear cache before resolving the
requested section, then rebuild the section cache when it is missing or dirty
before returning whether it exists. Preserve the existing false result when the
world or section cannot be resolved.

Walkthrough

The pull request adds versionless occlusion-culling algorithms, caches, and providers. It connects chunk-section opacity data to culling, updates runtime wiring and tick mixins, and removes the external occlusion-culling dependency.

Changes

Occlusion Pipeline

Layer / File(s) Summary
Culling contracts and cache primitives
EntityCulling-Versionless/.../occlusionculling/OcclusionCulling.java, EntityCulling-Versionless/.../occlusionculling/cache/*, EntityCulling-Versionless/.../occlusionculling/provider/*, EntityCulling-Versionless/.../occlusionculling/util/*
The versionless API adds visibility, cache, and provider contracts. It also adds packed cache implementations, Vec3d, and math utilities.
Ray-based visibility algorithms
EntityCulling-Versionless/.../EntityCullingVersionlessBase.java, EntityCulling-Versionless/.../occlusionculling/OcclusionCullingInstance.java, EntityCulling-Versionless/.../occlusionculling/CubemapOcclusionInstance.java
The two implementations test AABB visibility with grid traversal or cubemap depth rays. They use the configured cache and DataProvider.
Chunk-section opacity providers
src/main/java/dev/tr7zw/entityculling/access/ChunkSectionAccess.java, src/main/java/dev/tr7zw/entityculling/mixin/LevelChunkSectionMixin.java, src/main/java/dev/tr7zw/entityculling/provider/*, src/main/java/dev/tr7zw/entityculling/util/ECUtil.java
Chunk sections expose provider data and block states. The providers resolve sections, prepare or update opacity caches, and query cached opacity.
Runtime wiring and compatibility hooks
src/main/java/dev/tr7zw/entityculling/CullTask.java, src/main/java/dev/tr7zw/entityculling/EntityCullingModBase.java, src/main/java/dev/tr7zw/entityculling/mixin/*, src/main/java/dev/tr7zw/entityculling/util/NMSCullingHelper.java, src/main/resources/entityculling.mixins.json, gradle-compose.yml
Initialization and culling use the new components. Mixins add tick behavior and register section and accessor hooks. Imports are updated, and the external dependency is removed.

Merge Risk: High · up to 62fb6

This change replaces the occlusion-culling engine with a new cubemap-based implementation, and the current code has defects that will make entities flicker or disappear and make terrain occlusion unreliable or ineffective. Stale visibility results can also persist while the player stands still. Fix the face-rejection test, the pixel-sampling approach, the section cache construction, and the depth-buffer refresh before merging.

An opaque block at the camera gives zero depth for every ray.

traceSingleRay tests isOpaqueFullCube on the camera's own cell first. Suppose the camera is inside a full block, for example a spectator or a camera clipping into a wall. Every ray then returns t = 0. All depths become 0, and every entity with distToBox >= 0.1 is culled. OcclusionCullingInstance handles this case with allowWallClipping: it ignores opaque cells until the ray first leaves the wall. Apply the same rule here.

🐛 Proposed fix
         double t = 0.0;
+        boolean insideWall = true;
         for (int step = 0; step < reach; step++) {
 ...
-            if (provider.isOpaqueFullCube(x, y, z)) {
-                return t;

The face-rejection test drops boxes that only partly overlap a face in V.

On Line 304, minV < -1.0 || maxV > 1.0 rejects the face when the box sticks out past the face edge in V. It does not reject only boxes that are fully outside. The U test is correct, so the two axes do not match. Take a tall entity near the camera that spans the +X face and the +Y face. Each face can see only part of its projection, so both faces get skipped. The method then reaches cacheHidden and returns false, so a visible entity is culled. The clamp on Lines 310-311 already handles partial overlap.

🐛 Proposed fix
-            if (maxU < -1.0 || minU > 1.0 || minV < -1.0 || maxV > 1.0) {
+            if (maxU < -1.0 || minU > 1.0 || maxV < -1.0 || minV > 1.0) {

Major · Functional Correctness · Heavy lift

Testing only the pixel-center ray misses small or distant boxes, which are then culled.

Each face has 32×32 pixels. Each pixel covers 2/32 = 0.0625 in tangent space. At 64 blocks, one pixel at the face center spans about 4 blocks. An entity box with the 0.5 expansion is about 1.6–3 blocks wide. Such a box often lies between two pixel-center rays. Then tEnter <= tExit is false for every pixel in [minPx..maxPx]. The loop ends and the method returns false. This happens even in open air, where depthBuffer equals reach. The result is that distant entities flicker or disappear.

Treat a pixel as visible when the box's projected rectangle overlaps it and the box's nearest distance is less than that pixel's depth. For example, use distToBox = max(0, nearest-plane distance), and do not require the center ray to hit the box. Another option is conservative depth: store the max depth over the pixel's footprint.

When the camera stays still, the cubemap depth buffer is never refreshed.

Line 74 now resets cache, which is the NoCache instance. Before this change, the code called culling.resetCache(). CubemapOcclusionInstance redraws its depth buffer and clears its local result cache only when needsRebake is true or the camera position changes. Only CubemapOcclusionInstance.resetCache() sets needsRebake, and nothing calls it now.

Example: the player stands still and breaks the block between them and a mob. The depthBuffer and the cached hidden result keyed by mid-block both stay stale. The mob stays culled until the camera moves. Mark the cubemap for a redraw on each pass, for example by adding resetCache() to OcclusionCulling and calling it here.

Review comment at @src/main/java/dev/tr7zw/entityculling/CullTask.java at line
74:
Update the CullTask pass to also call resetCache() on culling, and add the
method to OcclusionCulling so CubemapOcclusionInstance marks its depth buffer
for redraw even when the camera is stationary.

In singleplayer, the hook also runs for server-side sections.

LevelChunkSection is shared by the client world and the integrated server, which run in the same JVM. Every server-side setBlockState therefore runs ECUtil.isOpaqueFullCube and onChange. That includes worldgen and block ticks. The first change in each section also runs rebuild, which does 4096 state lookups and attaches a SimpleCache to the server section. The cull thread never reads server sections. The result is wasted CPU on the server thread and extra memory per loaded server section. Return early unless the call runs on the client thread.

Update onSetBlockState to return without calling the data provider unless the
call is running on the client thread; keep the existing onChange behavior for
client-thread calls.

Sections without a block change never get a cache, so occlusion does nothing there.

  • prepareChunk only reads an existing SimpleCache. The rebuild fallback is commented out (Lines 36-39).
  • A cache is created only through onChange, when a block changes in that section after it loads.
  • recalcBlockCounts (Line 76) is empty, so the dirty flag that LevelChunkSectionMixin sets is never used.
  • Sections loaded from network packets therefore have no cache, and prepareChunk returns false.
  • CubemapOcclusionInstance.traceSingleRay treats false as an unloaded chunk and returns reach. No terrain blocks any entity.

There is a second bug in the same method. When resolveSection returns null, or world is null, cache keeps the previous section's data. A later call with the same coordinates then returns true and reads the wrong section.

Build the cache when it is missing or dirty, and always reset cache on a miss. The cull thread calls rebuild while the main thread writes, so the race is benign. If you want to avoid it, run the rebuild from recalcBlockCounts on the main thread.

Update prepareChunk to clear cache before resolving the requested section, then
rebuild the section cache when it is missing or dirty before returning whether
it exists. Preserve the existing false result when the world or section cannot
be resolved.
