I would like to verify that Minecraft is now a NVIDIA ONLY project.

Am I correct ?

Thanks

I wouldn't say "now", because we've put out exclusively Nvidia kernels for the past 4 years.

That said my focus the last few days has been porting the repeating decoration seeds program to OpenCL so that AMD and Intel GPUs can participate.
One of the developers, Andrew, pointed out what is seemingly a bug in OpenCL itself that was causing the OpenCL version of the software to not match the CUDA version 1:1.
His workaround made my test task pass for once, so, that's pretty big progress.


In other words: OpenCL version of this particular app is coming soon. I would not say to expect OpenCL versions of every GPU-accelerated app we put out, though.

If you mean to ask about CPU work, it's coming. Just has not been my focus this week.

Actually I was trying to to confirm NVIDIA exclusive yes or no ....

And you have responded that it is No ... and that other GPU Apps using OpenGL are in the works.

Cool I will drop my CPU only systems and and Wait on my Intel GPU systems.

Have a great and safe weekend
