Roxy
by Rasa Novum
Roxy is a NeoForge translation layer that lets the Fabric-only LOD rendering mod Voxy run on NeoForge for Minecraft 1.21.1.
What it does
Voxy is a Fabric-exclusive level-of-detail renderer, and Roxy supplies the compatibility layer that lets the original Voxy jar function on NeoForge without a separate port. Roxy itself is a client-side mod, so only the player's client needs it, and servers can run without it. Roxy is released under the MIT License and is open source; its source code and issue tracker are public.
The layer covers Voxy Worldgen v2, LOD server support, fading and blending between real LOD chunks, and lighting and colour improvements between real LOD terrain. Mac users can run it through the Zink translation of Metal. Roxy is compatible with a number of commonly used mods, and with Fabric mods loaded through Sinytra Connector from version 0.1.6 onward. Many incompatibilities that Voxy has natively on Fabric persist under Roxy on NeoForge.
Roxy requires Forgified Fabric API, Sodium and Voxy. Fog is optional, and Vivecraft is listed as incompatible. Files are published for NeoForge and 1.21.1 only, and the latest file is 0.4.0-neoforge+mc1.21.1, a beta build dated 2026-10-07.
