Distant Horizons - Changelog

Change delayed LOD modified save from 2 seconds -> 500 ms
- This should make LODs appear to update slightly faster
Allow users to re-enable the DH renderer if an exception is thrown
- To re-enable the renderer, toggle DH rendering using the UI config menu

Bug Fixes:

Fix LODs not updating in the nether or when blocks are changed underground
- Note: DH only listens for some block changes underground (currently 1 in 4 blocks), so changing several blocks or one light emitting may be necessary to trigger an update).
Fix Lighting not generating correctly
Fix DH clouds colors not matching vanilla MC clouds
Fix glass panes not affecting beacon colors
Fix several beacon rendering/updating issues when beacons are on chunk borders
Disable instanced rendering on Mac when Sodium is present
- This should fix M1 macs crashing when both DH and Sodium are together
Fix LODs flashing when they load/unload
Fix Lithium breaking DH world gen for MC 1.20.1 and older

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
