Main

Highlights:

API version increased 2.1.0 -> 3.0.0
Cloud/Beacon rendering
- This broke previous Iris compatability, please be patient while waiting for Iris to update.
Add partial Replay mod support
- In order for LODs to appear the replay must be unpaused and the LOD database must be in the designated Replay multiplayer folder.
Improved world gen speed (thanks Cortex)
Fixed and Improved Cave culling
- This should offer a slight FPS improvement over the previous version
Fix crashing due to playing the game too long or switching dimensions too fast
Fix black glacier/ocean block rendering
A bunch of other bugfixes

Additions:

Changes:

API event parameters are cloned between listeners to reduce the chance of cross-listener contamination
Increase default fog start distance
Remove near fog starting distance limitation
Improved World gen speed
- Thanks Cortex for finding the problem!
Reduced CPU use when flying over already generated LODs

Bug Fixes:

Fix Replay mod not showing LODs
- This does require putting LODs in a replay specific multiplayer folder
Fix Starlight causing LODs to appear black
- This required disabling a previous optimization used when pulling lighting for pre-generated chunks. However this optimization can be manually re-enabled via the config for use in worlds that have never had Starlight installed.
Fix vertical LOD face lighting when next to water
Add missing "IP Only" multiplayer tooltip
Fix infinitely creating lightmap textures until the game crashes
Fix world gen not skipping already complete stages for pre-generated chunks
Attempt to fix lag spikes when right clicking blocks
Fix incorrect fog rendering on some machines
Fix a multithreading warning in ClientBlockStateColorCache
Fix LODs flashing twice when changing config values
Reduce LOD holes on the border between detail levels
Fix incorrect block positions being fed into biome color code (Builderb0y)
Fix rapidly changing dimensions causing the game to crash
Fix cave culling causing holes in the ocean or on the border of unloaded LODs
Fix cave culling regression that prevented culling on detail levels 1 and higher
Fix massive direct memory use/leak when uploading LODs
Fix frustum culling breaking when the screen is skewed (IE nausea or nether portals)
Fix DhApiChunk setDataPoints() failing for null or empty lists

Breaking Changes:

Mark Iris 1.7.4 and below as incompatible
- This is due to the API changes related to the generic (cloud/beaon) renderer and incorrect naming of several API position objects

Due to breaking changes (mainly caused by incorrectly named objects) the api version number has been up from 2.1.0 to 3.0.0
- please make sure your implementing programs check the API version and handle old DH versions cleanly.

Additions:

Generic Rendering API
- New objects include:
  - DhApiRenderableBoxGroupShading
  - DhApiRenderableBox
  - DhApiBeforeGenericRenderSetupEvent
  - DhApiBeforeGenericRenderCleanupEvent
  - DhApiBeforeGenericObjectRenderEvent
  - IDhApiRenderableBoxGroup
  - IDhApiCustomRenderRegister
  - IDhApiCustomRenderObjectFactory
  - IDhApiGenericObjectShaderProgram
  - IDhApiGenericRenderingConfig
- New bindings/methods include:
  - DhApi.Delayed.IDhApiCustomRenderObjectFactory
  - IDhApiLevelWrapper.getRenderRegister()
  - IDhApiGraphicsConfig.IDhApiGenericRenderingConfig
Optional memory caching to IDhApiTerrainDataRepo methods
- This allows for much faster raycasting and repeat query operations
- IDhApiTerrainDataCache
New Enum EDhApiBlockMaterial
New getter IDhApiBlockStateWrapper methods
- IDhApiBlockStateWrapper.getSerialString()
- IDhApiBlockStateWrapper.getMaterialId()
New wrapper Factory methods to builder wrappers from resource location strings (IE "minecraft:stone", or "minecraft:plains")
- IDhApiWrapperFactory.getBiomeWrapper(String resourceLocationString, IDhApiLevelWrapper levelWrapper)
- IDhApiWrapperFactory.getDefaultBlockStateWrapper(String resourceLocationString, IDhApiLevelWrapper levelWrapper)
Optional additional world gen DhApiChunk validation
Updated javadocs

Bugfixes:

Fix/add AbstractDhApiChunkWorldGenerator.generateApiChunk()
- API Chunk generation was present previously but was broken preventing it's correct use

Breaking Changes:

Deprecations:

IDhApiLevelWrapper.getHeight()
- This change is done so get min/max heigth are both viable methods
- use getMaxHeight() instead
DhApiChunk constructor
- This change was due to the old constructor's parameters being in the wrong order (Specifically top and bottom positions being flipped)
- use DhApiChunk.create() instead
DhApiTerrainDataPoint constructor
- This change was due to the old constructor's parameters being in the wrong order (Specifically top and bottom positions being flipped)
- use DhApiTerrainDataPoint.create() instead
EDhApiGpuUploadMethod.BUFFER_MAPPING
- Buffer mapping was removed as an option due to memory leaks in the old system and having one system being simpler. This can be reverted if users determine that buffer mapping is better in some situations.
IDhApiWorldGenerator.isBusy()
- The method now has a default implementation but isn't used.
- The task queuing logic is now handled internally by DH
