Thread related crashes fixed

Many issues reported client code running on the server thread. Release candidate 0.7.1-rc.1+26.2 resolved all such crashes.

New rendering pipelines

The rendering now does two passes with two different pipelines depending on the wake's opacity. For opacities lower than 0.8 the wakes' texels are rendered in color with no depth write. This results in wakes visually being below the water. For texels wakes above this threshold, depth write is done which means that water below these parts wont render. This means that high opacity texels dont have water rendered above them. This was required because the new pipeline made it so that low opacity wakes which also wrote to the depth buffer, "cut" through the ocean, making the ocean floor visible.

The reason for choosing this new pipeline was because wakes now show through stained glass and water.

A unfortunate consequence of this pipeline is that the wakes show through hollow entities such as boats. This was resolved by manually removing the texels of wakes which the boat should cover. This is needed to do per frame so a new partial upload was introduced.

If for whatever reason you need to change the area of which a boat's (entities) "occlusion zone" covers, you can do it using datapacks. See the docs on Github.

Performance improvements

#197 pointed to tick-rated performance issues. Optimizations regarding color calculations, biome color caching and partial GPU texture uploads have made the framtime graph much more stable.

If per tick biome color sampling is wanted for each node, set the config option "Cache water color" to false.

Minecraft-Native rendering

This version uses a more native API for rendering. Hopefully making it more robust and less buggy. Some related changes include:
- one node per quad (no more large bricks)
- pure minecraft shaders with lighting done on the gpu (no pre baked lighting in wake textures)

Underwater visibility

Both wakes and splash planes are now visible when the camera is underwater.

Shader height offset

Added a configurable height offset in Appearance settings to prevent wakes from clipping into wavy water when shaders are enabled.

Resolution change crash fix

If there were any existing splash planes and the player wanted to change the effect resolution through the config a crash would occur. This fixes it.

Wake storage rewrite

Replaced the per-Y-level quad-tree (with fixed-depth brick leaves) with a hash map that stores wake chunks directly.
Simplifies data management and removes the rigid spatial hierarchy.

Single draw call rendering

Wake rendering now batches all geometry into one draw call per frame instead of one per brick.
Wake chunks allocate regions in a shared texture atlas and upload their data there, enabling large-scale batching and significantly reducing draw overhead.

Larger shared texture atlas

All wake chunks now share a larger atlas instead of sequentially writing to a single small texture.
Edge case where the atlas runs out of space is not fully handled yet.

Removed OpenGL draw calls

Rendering path no longer relies on direct OpenGL draw calls, improving forward compatibility and stability with newer Minecraft rendering updates.

• Update to 1.21.10
• Fixes issues: 173, 177, 182
• Should fix issue 150

Should fix issue 159, thank you opalnext!

Port to 1.21.8

• Thank you IMS212 for porting the mod to the new rendering pipeline!
• This version should work for 1.21.5-1.21.8

Removed pick boat feature

A buggy feature which wasn't necessary for the mod. Fixes issues 138 & 148.

Chest boat and raft wakes

Fixes issue 137 where chest boats and rafts didn't make wakes.

0.4.1 for 1.21.4 as Satin is no longer needed

Removed Satin Dependency

Thank you Leclowndu93150 for coming up with a solution for lighting that doesn't require Satin!

By removing Satin some light related bugs may have gone away. Hopefully this fixes issues such as issue 91.

The removal of Satin also required me to change the look of the color picker to a HSV color wheel.

Backport of 0.4.0 for 1.20.1

New and improved configs

• YACL dependency has been removed. Switched to Midnightconfig which is automatically included.
• Custom configuration screen for wakes that lets you change the color of each wake section.

Visual changes

• Dynamic splash planes that looks more consistent with the wake simulation
• Improved splash particles
  

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

First release contents

• Simulated water waves appear after entites if they travel fast enough
• Simple configs, mostly for debugging purposes (Cloth Config)

TODO:s

• Wakes take the color of the water in the current biome
• More useful configurations
• Splash particles at the front of wakes
