🟢 WireSight

🧱 WireSight is an experimental, low-overhead Minecraft Java shaderpack that renders the world like a solid modeling view: dark green faces with bright green block edges.

⚙️ The pack targets the OptiFine shaderpack format shared by Iris, Oculus, and OptiFine. Its core path uses GLSL 1.20, a single terrain pass, normal depth writes, and no shadows or full-screen post-processing.

🎨 Default theme colors

🎯 WireSight uses the following base colors by default (RGB and hex denote the same color):

🎯 Render target	RGB	Hex	Appearance
🧱 Regular block faces	RGB(6, 17, 11)	#06110B	Dark green
🌊 Water and translucent terrain	RGB(5, 21, 19)	#051513	Dark cyan-green
✨ Block edges	RGB(53, 255, 120)	#35FF78	Fluorescent green
👤 Entities, held items, particles, and weather	RGB(14, 61, 34)	#0E3D22	Flat green
🌌 Sky, sun, moon, and clouds	RGB(0, 0, 0)	#000000	Black

💡 These values are base colors; directional face shading further darkens terrain and entity sides and undersides.

🎛️ Shader settings

⚙️ WireSight uses the common OptiFine ShaderPack option format supported by Iris, Oculus, and OptiFine. The loader skin may differ, but the controls and order remain the same.

🧭 Main screen

+--------------------------------+--------------------------------+
| Theme Preset: WireSight Green  | Custom Theme Colors...         |
| Directional Face Shading: On   | Edge Width: 1.5                |
| Edge Fade Start: 96 blocks     | Edge Fade Length: 64 blocks    |
+--------------------------------+--------------------------------+

• 🌓 Directional Face Shading uses fixed brightness levels for top, side, and underside faces; it is not dynamic lighting.
• 📏 Edge Width controls the approximate on-screen pixel width of block edges.
• 🌫️ Edge Fade Start is the distance where edges begin fading.
• 📐 Edge Fade Length is the distance used to complete that fade, so the defaults end at 96 + 64 = 160 blocks.

🌈 Custom theme colors

+----------------------+----------------------+----------------------+
| Theme Preset: Custom                                               |
+----------------------+----------------------+----------------------+
| Block Face R: 6      | Block Face G: 17     | Block Face B: 11     |
| Water R: 5           | Water G: 21          | Water B: 19          |
| Block Edge R: 53     | Block Edge G: 255    | Block Edge B: 120    |
| Entity R: 14         | Entity G: 61         | Entity B: 34         |
| Sky R: 0             | Sky G: 0             | Sky B: 0             |
+----------------------+----------------------+----------------------+

⚠️ Important: Custom RGB values are applied only when Theme Preset is set to Custom.

🔢 Each channel has full integer precision from 0 to 255. Custom values remain saved when another preset is selected and return unchanged when switching back to Custom.

🧩 Built-in presets

🎨 Surface	WireSight Green	Cyan	Amber	Monochrome
🧱 Block faces	#06110B	#061116	#171006	#111111
🌊 Water	#051513	#051522	#071417	#151515
✨ Block edges	#35FF78	#35E7FF	#FFC247	#F2F2F2
👤 Entities	#0E3D22	#0E3540	#5E3D10	#3D3D3D
🌌 Sky and celestials	#000000	#000000	#000000	#000000

🟠 The Amber preset intentionally keeps water cool and dark to distinguish it from warm terrain. Changing an option may briefly recompile the shader.

🔍 Current scope

• 🧱 Visible 1x1 block boundaries on terrain and block entities
• 🌓 Three flat face shades for spatial readability
• ✨ Pixel-stable, antialiased theme-colored edges
• 🌫️ Automatic distant-grid filtering to reduce shimmer
• 🍃 Alpha preservation for cutout geometry such as leaves and plants
• 👤 Flat-color entities, particles, weather, and held items
• 🏷️ Original colors and transparency for name tags and world-space text
• 🌊 Opaque stylized water and a configurable sky

⚠️ Only visible geometry can be outlined. WireSight is not an X-ray shader and does not render faces that Minecraft removes from chunk meshes.

🧪 Compatibility target

🧪 This shaderpack intentionally avoids compute shaders, geometry shaders, and loader-specific extensions.

🔌 Environment	Minecraft	Shader loader	Companion component
🥽 Oculus	1.20.1	Oculus 1.8.0	Embeddium 0.3.31
🌈 Iris	1.21.8	Iris 1.9.1	Sodium 0.6.31
🔭 OptiFine	1.8.9	OptiFine HD U M5	Forge 11.15.1.2318

📚 The OptiFine build targets every stable Minecraft release from 1.8 through 1.21.x. Unlisted combinations rely on compatible interfaces and have not been tested individually.

📦 Install

📥 Place the release zip in the Minecraft instance's shaderpacks directory, then select WireSight from the shader pack menu.

💻 VS Code

🧩 Install Shader languages support for VS Code for GLSL syntax highlighting. The tracked .vscode/settings.json maps .glsl, .fsh, and .vsh files to GLSL, while .vscode/extensions.json recommends the extension automatically.

code --install-extension slevesque.shader

🚀 Build, release, and publish

🐍 Build locally with uv and Python 3.13:

uv venv
uv run python ./scripts/build_shaderpack.py
uv run python ./scripts/validate_publish.py

📦 Two reproducible ZIPs and their matching SHA-256 files are written to dist/. metadata.toml is the single source of truth for the WireSight version, variant support ranges, platform project IDs, and loaders.

📦 Variant	Artifact	Modrinth loader	Minecraft range
🌈 Iris / Oculus	WireSight-X.Y.Z-iris-oculus.zip	iris	1.20 through 1.21.x
🔭 OptiFine	WireSight-X.Y.Z-optifine.zip	optifine	1.8 through 1.21.x

⚙️ GitHub Actions observes these exact commit-subject suffixes on pushes:

🎯 Mode	Commit subject suffix	Actions artifact	GitHub Release	Modrinth / CurseForge
🛠️ Build	(build action)	✅	❌	❌
🏷️ Release	(build release)	✅	✅	❌
🚀 Publish	(build publish)	✅	✅	✅

📝 Only the subject line is inspected; matching text in the commit body is ignored.

🔁 Pull requests are always built. Builds, releases, and platform publishing can also be started manually; pushing a v* tag creates only the matching GitHub Release.

📖 See the build, release, and publish guide for the pipeline diagrams, platform project setup, required GitHub Secrets, release metadata, supported Minecraft versions, and release-note format.
