ForgeClient required, server optionalCC0 1.0 UniversalOpen source1.20.1

What it does

The mod exists to test Polymesh, a render library that draws 3D meshes. It loads the Utah teapot, a standard test object in computer graphics, and displays it in the world. The mod has no gameplay systems, so it is a technical test rather than a feature for survival or creative play.

Key features

  1. Polymesh rendering test

    Draws the Utah teapot through Polymesh, letting the library's 3D rendering path be checked inside Minecraft.

  2. Classic test model

    Uses the official teapot model from the University of Utah, a long-standing reference mesh in computer graphics.

  3. No gameplay systems

    Adds no items, recipes or mechanics, and its purpose is limited to showing the model.
