    Will the Powder Sim contain the elements from your last mod as well?

    This seems like something I would be interested in. I'm glad. Usually when I'm told about threads here it isn't a good thing.

    Implement Shaders Perhaps? We have Open GL Support now so...

    Shaders would allow for a removal of many decoration or effects only particles to reduce lag on checking for collisions on the effect particles for various elements or for improved glow effects

    we may implement shaders as a test, but im not sure how the performance will definately be

    Mainly what we are doing is adding some realism to a lot of the elements. For instance, mercury reacts to some noble gases to make florescent light. I have already experimented with things like that in my mod. So me4502, me, TheWiseEyes, and vanquish349 forces to make a powder simulation that will have a lot more realism and effects. Progress is going to be slow at first, but it will soon be up and running full swing.

    The Shader Idea Was Accepted. Look At Github.
