Test Block 2

Configuration

Every setting in the mod config file, with what it changes.

Option	What it does
`fontAtlasSize`Atlas Page Size	Edge length in pixels of one glyph atlas page. Larger pages fit more glyphs, so a screen full of text costs fewer draw calls.
`textLayoutCache`Cache Text Layout	Reuse where each glyph goes between frames instead of working it out again every frame. Turn off only if text ever renders with the wrong styling.
`sdfEmSize`Distance Field Resolution	Pixel height one em is rasterized at when building the distance field. Higher keeps sharp corners sharper at large text sizes, at the cost of atlas space.
`sdfSharpness`Edge Sharpness	Multiplier on the width of the anti aliased edge. Above 1 is crisper, below 1 is softer.
`fontRasterMaxSize`Raster Size Limit	Largest text size, in device pixels, that will be rasterized at its drawn size. Anything larger uses the distance field instead. A text element's size works out to font size times GUI scale.
`fontRasterEvictSeconds`Raster Size Timeout	Seconds a rasterized size may go undrawn before its atlas is freed. Keeps zooming through many sizes from using memory without bound.
`fontRenderMode`Renderer	Vanilla hands text to Minecraft untouched. SDF samples one scalable atlas: smooth at any size or angle, a little soft up close. Raster redraws each glyph at the size it appears at: sharpest, but a separate atlas per size. Auto uses raster for still text on the
`sdfWeight`Stem Weight	Thickens or thins strokes by a fraction of a pixel. Raise slightly if small text looks too thin.
`font`Text Rendering	How LDLib draws the text in its own interfaces. Does not affect vanilla screens or other mods.

Font

Option	What it does
`auto`	Automatic
`sdf`	Distance Field
