What it changes
The mod reshapes the 2D tile world into a voxel-like 3D scene, adds optional 3D battles, terrain curvature, water effects, antialiasing, and time-of-day presentation options.

- Keep the ZIP intact.
- Open the Gen1Recomp launcher.
- Select the MODS tab.
- Click Import mod .zip and choose the downloaded ZIP.

- 3D-BTL places battles in the world.
- T-SHIFT adds miniature-style depth of field.
- V-CURVE bends the distant terrain.
- WATER controls waves and reflections.
- AA smooths edges but can significantly reduce performance.
Start with AA turned off. FULL Water and higher AA settings may cause low frame rates on phones, handhelds and weaker computers.
Performance tiers
Use Balanced on phones, handhelds, and older PCs. Move to High Quality only after testing a stable frame rate. AA and FULL Water are usually the first settings to reduce.
Common errors
- Mod does not appear: import the release ZIP, not an extracted folder.
- Duplicate mod ID: remove the older copy before importing again.
- Game still looks 2D: confirm the mod is enabled and restart.
- Crash after enabling: return to Balanced settings and test without other mods.
Uninstall or return to 2D
Disable the Voxel Mod in the MODS tab, then relaunch the game. To remove it completely, delete the mod entry from the launcher if your build exposes that control. The original 2D presentation should return when the mod is disabled.
