Minecraft Snapshot 21w10a

• The game now runs using OpenGL 3.2 core profile

• The give command can only give up to 100 stacks of items at a time (e.g. 6400 stone or 100 iron swords)

OpenGL

Rendering is now using OpenGL 3.2 core profile. All fixed function rendering has been replaced with shader based rendering.

Shaders

Shaders are now included for all supported render states. Any shader except for the blit shader can also be replaced in resource packs. For now replacing these shaders is not officially supported and the way it works may change in the future.

The current rendering engine uses a system similar to the post processing shader pipeline. There are some differences between both system that cater to the slightly different requirements.
