Voxel Tools for Godot

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

Blocky screenshot Smooth screenshot Textured screenshot

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

Check the changelog for more recent details.

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)

Supporters

This module is a non-profit project developped by voluntary contributors. The following is the list of the current donors. Thanks for your support :)
