Wakes

Backport to 1.20.1

• Also supports 1.20 and 1.20.2

Version bump

• Updated to 1.21.1
• Also supports 1.21

Performance improvements

• Fixed memory leak (issue 89)
• Fully utilized quad tree with "bricks" instead of nodes. This reduces render times.
• Textures are stored "per brick" which will take up a bit more memory but reduce texturing times as it is only done once per tick.

Bug fixes

• Boat picking on water now works as expected but it can also be turned off. (issue 82)
• Removed LODs as they gave no performance benefits

Other changes

• Wakes will look a bit different on shaders. This is due to the new implementation of "bricks". You may have to tweak a config slider called "Shader light pass through" for it to look somewhat correct on your specific shader pack.
• Splash planes are now positioned at the sides of the boat and will not clip through as much. Splash clouds movement has also been changed.

For a more detailed changelog see: Performance improvements

Lilypad ripples

• When jumping on lilypads a wake simulation will be spawned beneath that lilypad.
• Requested by Dylsnake a while back

Pick "boat"

• Just as pick block, middle clicking on water now puts a boat in your hand

Other fixes

• Wakes planes are now only on by default for boats (as per some requests)
• Level of detail option (doesn't really improve FPS but it's there)
• Node spawning now actually utilizes the quad tree structure. This should make the mod a bit more performant

Version bump

• Updated to 1.20.4
• Also supports 1.20.3

Wake styles removal

• One default look that should be more consistent
• The wakes are now blended per pixel manually rather than Minecrafts OpenGL's blending
• This has made it possible to half the number of quads renderer because the foam isn't renderer sperately now

Improved splash planes

• Splash planes now lerp correctly at yaw 90
• Option to disable them while in first person to make them non obtrusive. (They are off by default)
• Fixes issue #35 with planes not disappearing

Other bug fixes

• Should fix issue #46 with wakes visible through walls
• Missing config translations

Backport

• Port to 1.19.2. Had no time for 1.19.3

Fixes lighting bug

• Fix for this issue

Dark wakes from above fix

• Fixes this issue

Wakes visible below water

• You can now see the wakes from underneath the water when using fabulous graphic settings

Config changes

• See commit message
• You might need to delete your config folder and let the mod generate a new one

Splash planes

• A plane of water now shoots out on either side when traveling in water
• Can be turned off with YACL where additional configs also can be found

Consistent splashes

• Splashes now depend on the vertical velocity instead of fall height
• Larger entities also create larger splashes
• Fixes issue 32

Dark wakes fix (issue 14)

• Some users were experiencing dark wakes. This only occured on some systems and seems to be a graphics issue. This update should fix this issue by changing the shader program used.

Transparent water with fabulous graphics (issue 22)

• When using fabulous graphic settings the water beneath the wakes disappeard. This is becuase of Minecraft's translucency sorting and was fixed by changing the shader program.

Shader program collision

• These two fixes may clash with each other if you were experiencing both bugs.

Backport to 1.19.2

• This is purely a backport of the most recent version (0.2.0) of Wakes which should work for Minecraft 1.19.2. It adds no new features!

Beta!

• This release should fix some pretty major issues and I am therefore putting Wakes into beta.
• There are still some known issues. One of those being that wakes are darker and/or more transparent when viewed from straight above.
• The main goal during beta is to implement splash particles and other features.

Wake resolution config mismatch

• YACL will no longer warn about config mismatches when changing the resolution of wakes.

Wake spawning under water removed

• Wakes should no longer spawn in weird places such as underneath the water.

Crash fix

• In all versions of the mod the game has been crashing with a ConcurrentModificationException.
• The last version tried to solve this but introduced another crash message. This version should put a stop for both.

Lightmap lighting

• The lightmap is now sampled to give the wakes the correct lighting
• This may fix some renderering issues present in previous versions (notably this issue)
• However, it seems to bring a bug where the wakes take on a darker color when looked at straight from above

Diagonal wakes fix

• Should fix weird wake placements in diagonal directions

Wake resolution

• The resolution of which wakes render at can now be either doubled or halved (8x8, 16x16, 32x32)
• Higher resolutions may have noticable performance impacts

Client syncing

• Wakes should now be seen by everyone with the mod installed
• Wake spawning and rendering should also be more consistent and potentially fix this issue

Iris crash fix

• 0.1.6 introduced crashes if Iris wasn't installed
• This version will hopefully resolve that issue

Removed wakes in spectator mode

• Wakes no longer spawn in spectator mode which resolves this issue

Wake style and opacity slider

• The opacity of the wake can now be changed if the wake style is set to "subtle"
• If set to subtle, wakes will slowly fade out as time progresses

"Vibrant" (previous style) to the left and "Subtle" to the right

Iris shader support

• Wakes are now compatible with Iris shaders. (Optifine support may come in the future)
• Every shader will not work perfectly but currently the Complementary shaders work as intended. Here's a list of some of them

Wake spawning configs

• You can now change the spawning behaviour of wakes
• The setting allows the player to either turn off wakes, splashes, or both for different kinds of entities
• Currently this can be configured for boats, the player, other players, mobs, and items

Lighting

• Before wakes where unaffected by light
• Now they become darker in darker areas

Config file

• Configs will now be saved inside wakes.json inside the config folder
• Be careful editing this file directly, removing some entries can cause crashes

Fixed crash present in previous versions

• On occasions the game would crash with a ConcurrentModificationException which would render the world unplayable
• This update is a potential fix for the crash but please report any issues on the github

Splashes & more configs

• Splashes when falling into the water is now more consistent
• The minimum required speed to produce wakes is now configurable
• The same goes with splash strength

YACL no longer required

YetAnotherConfigLib is now optional and if the player tries to access it through ModMenu a prompt to download it will be shown.

+ Moved the wakes produced by paddles slightly forward

Configs

• Switched to YACL for config handling.
• Added color ranges in the configs to easily change the colors that appear in the wakes.
• Configs don't save across Minecraft sessions yet.

TODO:s

• Make configs persistent (config file)
• Make it so that YACL isn't required

Debug colors to determine wake values

Separate textures

Could not get screen blending to work so the white foam is now on a separate texture from the colored water.

Paddle wakes

The oars on the boat now cause a slight ripple in the water
