#Renderer Modes

Set renderer.mode to LEGACY, RESOURCE_PACK or AUTO.

#LEGACY

Uses only vanilla client fonts and one TextDisplay per session. No pack prompt is needed. This is the compatibility option, but complex symbols and board details are less precise than the enhanced renderer.

#RESOURCE_PACK

Uses Blockcade's bundled bitmap fonts after the client reports a successful pack load. Fixed-width glyphs keep maps and borders aligned and provide custom tiles for games such as 2048 and Minesweeper.

If the pack has not loaded, behavior depends on fallback-to-legacy. With fallback disabled, the start is rejected and the pack is sent again.

#AUTO

Recommended. Players with the loaded pack receive the enhanced renderer; everyone else safely receives legacy when fallback is enabled.

#Session visibility

Each session owns a tagged TextDisplay. Enhanced displays are hidden by default and shown only to their owning player. Cleanup removes only entities marked as Blockcade displays.

Changing mode affects newly opened sessions. Stop and reopen a game to see the new renderer.
