What it does

Completely replaces the rendering engine with a webgpu based one, meaning it can abstract to vulkan, metal, and dx12.

Why should it be in the modpack

Solves [#219] because it can abstract to metal, vulkan, and dx12.
Potentially large performance increase and reduced microstutter when it's done

Why shouldn't it be in the modpack

Not even playable yet and probably won't be for a while, will take even longer for shaders to work and they might no be optifine compatible
~~Might not be compatible with fabric rendering api and mod compatibility might be a huge issue~~
From their github: Implement Indigo is in their roadmap
6C5650FE-71D3-4FD0-B12B-9CC3BE441BAA
Might not have complete vanilla parity in terms of cosmetics

Wow, a competitor to Sodium. I don't think I will consider it before rendering API and shaders exist, but overall seems interesting to keep an eye on.

Confirmed plans for OF shaderpack support (through iris) and potentially its own shader pipeline with more flexibility:

yes, it will support the iris/optifine shader pipeline

Sounds great. But the menu screens are going to need to be re-written, right? Or can you put this mod on top of Sodium, Iris etc.?

If so, this will mean that this project might stay "another an experimental performance mod". Because no normal player wants to change config.jsons...

So I really hope this project is going to either become mainstream or just doesn't. Something inbetween would be quite confusing because the JellySquid/CaffeineMC mods will die and WGPU will need to implement a lot of features :/

well yes no no yes

wgpu IS NOT the mod. The mod is Electrum, the renderer adaptation for games is wgpu-mc, and the renderer (afaik) is wgpu.
