Caxton

1.0.0-alpha.3

Adopt official enum extension methods on Fabric.

• On Fabric, we used to use Fabric ASM to extend the FontType (Mojmap: GlyphProviderType) enum. Since the recently released version 0.17.1, Mixin supports enum extensions, which removes the need for Fabric ASM. This also makes the source code for the Fabric version completely free of Mojmap. Note that Caxton now requires Fabric Loader 0.19.1 or later.
• On Forge, we originally used JavaScript core mods to extend the FontType enum. When NeoForge planned to remove support for core mods, this was replaced with a mixin that adds the field manually. NeoForge has a built-in way to extend certain enums, which we plan to use eventually, but we’re waiting on Neo Loom being able to remap enum extension files.

1.0.0-alpha.1

Initial experimental build using the Foreign Function & Memory ( FFM) API.

Caxton previously used the Java Native Interface (JNI) to interact with the native caxton-impl library, which handles text shaping and glyph rasterization (both conventional and MSDF). Java 22 added the Foreign Function & Memory (FFM) API as an alternative to JNI. Since Minecraft 26.1 requires Java 25, it is now possible to migrate to FFM.

Since this is a major change, this version might have bugs or performance issues. Please report them to our issue tracker!
