[Question] 1.20 ?

[HowardZHY]

Will it update to 1.20?

1.20 dramatically improved the performance of the lighting engine. There hasn't been an official yes or no as to whether phosphor will be updating, but I wouldn't bet on it at this time

1.20 vanilla is basically a copy of Starlight. Phosphor is technically inferior so there is no point updating it.

Who knows, there could still be improvements to be made somewhere

I would love to see Phosphor be updated to 1.20[.1],

@HowardZHY Phosphor is not needed as Minecraft 1.20 hugely optimised the lighting engine. It’s still not as fast as Starlight, but it is much faster and much closer to Starlight speeds because it has more checks for stability purposes (which Minecraft being bug free is important!)

Maybe you can find those possible improvements and submit a PR, then. There’s no need for phosphor to update past 1.19 right now, as the lighting engine it improved has been entirely replaced in 1.20 vanilla with one that’s significantly faster than 1.19 with phosphor, and more stable than 1.19 with starlight. The old optimizations no longer apply, and new ones haven’t yet been found.

We don't know if there will be a port of MC 1.20. Right now, most of Phosphor's patches are rendered broken and/or obsolete. It remains to be seen if there are any significant optimizations which exist for the newer lighting engine that are useful outside of very large servers.

I wouldn't expect a "port" any time soon. If there is an update, it would likely look very different compared to earlier releases.

No, because 1.20 has improved it's lightning engine performance dramatically, so phosphor it not necessary anymore I'm those versions, Neither does Starlight.
