Optimizing Build Size

Overview

Voxel Play includes numerous demo resources and shaders that can be removed to reduce build size and compilation time. Note that shader compilation occurs during the initial build; Unity caches compiled variants in the Library folder for faster subsequent builds.

1. Remove Demo Resources

Delete these folders if not used:

• Demos folder
• Voxel Play/Resources/Worlds/Colorizer
• Voxel Play/Resources/Worlds/Earth
• Voxel Play/Resources/Worlds/EarthTestCompute
• Voxel Play/Resources/Worlds/HQForest

2. Remove Sample Character

• Delete Voxel Play/ThirdParty folder

3. Remove Unused Default Textures

• Delete Voxel Play/Defaults/Shore folder if not using these voxel definitions or shore textures
• Delete Voxel Play/Defaults/Water/water* textures if using custom water textures

4. Remove Unused Shaders

• Delete VPCurved* files if not using curved world feature
• Delete VPIndirect* files if not using compute buffers option
• Delete VPSkybox* files if using custom skybox
• Delete VPVoxelTriangleOpaqueWorldSpaceUV* files if not overriding default opaque render type
• Delete VPVoxelTriangleOpaqueAnimated shader if not using animated voxel definitions
• Delete VPVoxelTriangleCloud if not using voxel clouds

Shaders are located in Voxel Play/Resources/Shaders/.

5. Remove Unused Shader Features

• Remove #pragma multi_compile _ VOXELPLAY_USE_OUTLINE from shaders if not using outline option
• Remove VOXELPLAY_USE_PARALLAX keyword from shaders if not using relief mapping

6. Set Managed Stripping Level

In Project Settings > Player, set "Managed Stripping Level" to "Low" or higher.
