Could you build this?
Partial Shader translation between graphics languages is tractable with existing compiler tooling, so a partial version is achievable. Translating Java Fabric mod logic into Rust is a semantic program-translation problem that needs compiler and decompilation expertise and won't come out reliably from vibe coding.
What it would actually take: The shader side can build on existing IR and cross-compilation libraries, for example parsing GLSL and emitting WGSL or SPIR-V. The Java side needs bytecode analysis (ASM or similar), a mapping of Minecraft and Fabric APIs to Rust equivalents, and a correctness-testing strategy. That requires compiler engineers and reverse-engineering experience with JVM bytecode.
