From f3fdaf3c4722a395f5317744c24dbdc491059410 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: chowjiaming Date: Thu, 13 Aug 2026 16:33:25 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] =?UTF-8?q?perf:=20skip=20idle=2016=C3=9716=20chunks=20in?= =?UTF-8?q?=20World::step?= MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Paint and motion wake a chunk and its neighbors so a sparse grain still falls correctly.
