Brute Force Culling Revamped

Added

• Entity tick culling (off by default): skips the client-side update of entities that are currently culled or outside the field of view. Nearby, glowing and ridden entities and anything on the skip lists keep updating.
• Vegetation thinning (Sodium only): hides half of the grass, flowers and small plants in chunks far from the camera, with a configurable start distance.
• Debug options: show only culled objects, and show the depth and culling textures.
• The debug key now cycles off / counters / counters with timings.
• Tooltips for every config option.

Changed

• Ported the latest improvements from the 1.20.1 version.
• Culling results are read back from the GPU, so reading them no longer stalls the render thread.
• The chunk culling map is rebuilt when the render distance or world height changes.
• Entity culling now samples the side of an entity facing the camera, culling fewer entities by mistake near walls.
• The Warden is no longer culled by default.
• Lower memory use and fewer allocations in the culling maps.

Fixed

• Chunks flickering out of view when sprinting around corners.
• Thin gaps in walls being missed by the depth downsampling, culling chunks that could be seen through them.
• Everything counting as culled until the first culling results arrive.
• Culling freezing while the debug profiler (F3 pie chart) was open.
• Entities behind the camera disappearing for a moment when turning around quickly with Sodium.
• Changes to the skip lists only taking effect after a restart.
• Culling breaking after resizing the window or changing render scale with Iris shaders enabled.
