Voxel Tools for Godot

A C++ module for creating volumetric worlds in Godot Engine.

Features

• Realtime 3D terrain editable in-game (Unlike a heightmap based terrain, this allows for overhangs, tunnels, and user creation/destruction)
• Godot physics integration + alternate fast Minecraft-like collisions
• Infinite terrains made by paging chunks in and out
• Voxel data is streamed from a variety of sources, which includes the ability to write your own generators
• Minecraft-style blocky voxel terrain, with multiple materials and baked ambient occlusion
• Smooth terrain with level of detail using Transvoxel
• Voxel storage using 8-bit or 16-bit channels for any general purpose
• Instancing system to spawn foliage, rocks and other decoration on surfaces

Roadmap

These are some ideas that may or may not be implemented in the future:

• Texturing on smooth terrain
• Editor preview and authoring
• Improving LOD performance
• Other meshing algorithms (e.g. dual contouring)
• GPU offloading (Maybe when Godot 4+ supports compute shaders)
• Migrate to a GDNative plugin (post Godot 4, needs work)
