Advanced Studio

How it works​

The editor contains 67 typed nodes for:

  • Inputs and constants
  • Maths
  • Random values and noise
  • Vectors
  • Colours
  • Glyph texture sampling
  • Fragment and vertex outputs

The exported graph is validated and compiled safely by TextEffect. Advanced Studio does not allow raw GLSL, custom functions or loops.

Basic layers and graphs​

An Advanced effect can also include Basic Studio layers. Basic layers run through the normal layer compiler, then the graph adds its own fragment or vertex output.

Basic workflow​

  1. Enter the effect details.
  2. Add nodes from the palette.
  3. Connect compatible sockets.
  4. Add at least one output node.
  5. Check the live preview and validation panel.
  6. Download the .texteffect file.
  7. Install it in plugins/TextEffect/custom-effects/.
  8. Reload TextEffect and rebuild the resource pack.

The Advanced WebGL preview is an approximation. Minecraft remains the final renderer.
