Texturing crash course:

  1. Block, Item and Entity textures are loaded from json files in the form of a CompositeTexture instance
  2. After connecting to a game server, the client inserts all of these textures into their type-respective texture atlasses
  3. After insertion a "texture sub-id" is left behind in the CompositeTexture.Baked Property
  4. You can now find the position of the texture inside the atlas through the Block/Item/Entity-TextureAtlasPositions arrays (teturesubid is the array key)

    Shape Tesselation crash course:
  5. Block and Item shapes are loaded from json files in the form of a CompositeShape instance
  6. A CompositeShape instance hold some block/item specific information as well as an identifier to a Shape instance
  7. After connecting to a game server, the client loads all shapes from the shape folder then finds each blocks/items shape by its shape identifier
  8. Result is a MeshData instance that holds all vertices, UV coords, colors and etc. for each block
  9. That meshdata instance is
    a) Held as-is in memory for using during chunk tesselation (you can get a reference to it through getDefaultBlockMesh())
    b) "Compiled" to a Model for use during rendering in the gui.
    Model Compilation means all it's mesh data is uploaded onto the graphcis through a VAO and a ModelRef instance is left behind which
    can be used by the RenderAPI to render it.
