- Supports mipmaps, which allow the renderer to offer high quality [anisotropic filtering](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anisotropic_filtering), greatly improving the final look of the textures in the game and avoiding most of the problems commonly associated with HD texture packs such as shimmering. - Supports mipmaps, which allow the renderer to offer high quality [anisotropic filtering](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anisotropic_filtering), greatly improving the final look of the textures in the game and avoiding most of the problems commonly associated with HD texture packs such as shimmering.

- Note: Compressonator's GPU Encoder mode has a bug at the moment where precision of the colors are lost (e.g. full white values won't result in 1.0 channels), leading to incorrect values in some textures where accuracy is critical like the Lens of Truth.

- **Do not ship texture packs using PNG files to end users**. Their experience will be significantly impacted by having to decompress these files at runtime and have much higher memory consumption. - **Do not ship texture packs using PNG files to end users**.
