godot_voxel

Voxel Tools for Godot

A C++ module/extension for creating volumetric terrains in Godot Engine 4.

Features

• Realtime 3D terrain editable in-game (Unlike a heightmap based terrain, this allows for overhangs, tunnels, and user creation/destruction)
• Polygon-based: voxels are transformed into chunked meshes to be rendered
• 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
