> Yes, Minecraft doesn't have a ton of assets and it does have a lot of block data, so they should have optimized the block data and not worried about the rest. Instead they pessimized the block data. Inefficient but surely beneficial to modding. > pre-converting every possible rendering state of every block in the game into a static 3D model made out of Java objects (Vertex, Face, etc). This wastes about a GB of RAM. Alternatively, these are the game's assets, so it isn't a waste. Running the code to generate blocks all the time wouldn't be ideal so caching makes sense but I don't know why they wouldn't lazily populate it.
