godot-voxel
A C++ module for creating real-time editable volumetric terrains in the Godot Engine 4.
What is godot-voxel?
Zylann/godot_voxel, also known as Voxel Tools for Godot, is a C++ module/extension for Godot Engine 4 that enables the creation of volumetric, editable 3D terrains. It solves the limitations of traditional heightmap-based terrains by allowing developers to build dynamic worlds with features like overhangs, tunnels, and real-time user modification. The toolkit provides efficient rendering, physics integration, and support for both blocky and smooth voxel terrains.
Godot Engine 4 developers and game creators who need to implement complex, interactive 3D environments such as sandbox games, exploration titles, or simulations requiring destructible or modifiable terrain. It is suited for those comfortable with C++ modules or GDExtension in Godot.
Developers choose this module for its deep integration with Godot 4, offering real-time editable volumetric terrain beyond basic heightmaps, with features like infinite chunk-based worlds, flexible data streaming, and support for both Minecraft-style blocky and smooth LOD terrains. Its community-driven, non-profit nature ensures a focus on extensibility and practical game development needs.
