Chunk Animator Embeddium Compat
by Sxilverr
Chunk Animator Embeddium Compat lets the Chunk Animator mod run alongside the Embeddium, Xenon, Rubidium and Magnesium renderers, which it otherwise cannot share a frame with.
What it does
The compat layer is a Forge mod for the client that adds compatibility between Chunk Animator and the Embeddium, Xenon, Rubidium and Magnesium renderers. Chunk Animator's render hook is replaced with one that works with these renderers, and a Mixin plugin prevents Chunk Animator's incompatible LevelRenderer mixin from loading when Embeddium or Xenon is present. Architectury API and Chunk Animator are both required and must be installed next to it.
Newly loaded chunks are tracked per section, and their offset is applied during Embeddium's render pass through a separate draw for each chunk that is moving. Static sections keep using the quicker grouped path. Oculus can run without Embeddium or Xenon installed, and the mod supports either renderer and has been tested with several shaders. Servers do not need it; each player installs it for their own game. Files are published for Forge across four game versions, 1.16.5 – 1.20.1, with 2.1 for 1.20.1 as the latest build.
Key features
Renderer compatibility
Chunk Animator runs with Embeddium, Xenon, Rubidium or Magnesium, with either renderer supported.
Animation settings
A master toggle, animation duration, start offsets on each axis, and the direction and distance chunks slide from.
Easing curves
Selectable curves include linear, quad, cubic, quart, quint, sine, expo, circ, back and bounce, all with ease-out timing.
Player proximity suppression
Animations can be disabled around the player within a configurable radius, so nearby chunks appear without motion.

What the author says
Chunk Animator Embeddium Compat allows the Chunk Animator mod to work with the Embeddium mod as well as Xenon, Rubidium, and Magnesium. Chunk Animator crashes on startup when Embeddium or Xenon is installed. Both replace vanilla's chunk-rendering pipeline with their own GPU-instanced per-region rendering. This makes…
