I bet I didn't kill the VBs when the blocks go out of visibility. Would probably be an easy fix. It would definitely be easier to remove blocks from the instanced version. But block removal would only occur occasionaly (about once a second if the user is going to town). I have a feeling that the ease of removal win for an occasional occurance will be outweighed by the performance gains of the 60 times a second action of drawing the screen. But, that is just a guess =) Interesting, thanks for the comments. I bet I didn’t kill the VBs when the blocks go out of visibility. Would probably be an easy fix.

Kidding but seriously its very fast. I noticed 2 things which I am wondering about. First is after running in the world for a while i noticed the game getting slower (a low dropping from 240FPS to 20FPS). I think this is because the world is kept into memory or something like that but still its interesting. The other being the fact that it is not possible to remove blocks (which would cause the world to change ergo updating the buffer. Maybe this will have a lot of impact and wil maybe even make instancing faster). Just my 2 pence. Keep up the good work. kind regards, MOnline He,

The instanced method requires a custom shader. I believe that prevents it from running with Reach. There may be other limiting factors, but I would start with trying to strip that out, first.
