Diegesis

Added

• NodeView.setFoam(coverage, color): foam on a tank's liquid, clinging to the walls first and lying in patches further in, growing and settling over a second: a beer's head, scum on a stock.
• NodeView.holdLevel(seconds, over): a tank's liquid keeps the level it shows for a while and then rises or falls to what the tank holds over the given time, so that a bucket brought over and tipped fills it as its stream runs.
• StationBehavior.holdsBlock(view): a station that hides its block keeps it hidden after the last player left for as long as this says, so that its scene can finish closing, as a lid falling shut.
• NodeView.showLiquid(liquid, fraction): a tank shows a liquid at a level set by code, whatever the station's tank holds: a mug filled at a tap.
• A node drawn over everything (setOnTop) takes its tank's liquid along, so that a mug held low before a keg's tap is not cut by the floor. A stream poured into such a node is drawn with it, so that it runs into the vessel instead of ending at its rim.
• StationView.isBlockHidden(): whether a station's block is left out of the world in this frame, for the scene's copy of it to show exactly then.
• Visual option lit_as_block (Visual.asLitAsBlock()): a block model lit as the world lights the station's block, faces shaded as a block's, the light around it and smooth lighting's corner shadows, so that a scene's copy of a block it hides no longer looks lit up beside the block.

Changed

• Splashes and drops are as big as vanilla's and splashes last longer, so that they are seen from a station's camera. Splashes are vanilla's in white, so that they take a liquid's colour: in honey they were black.
• A full tank shows its liquid's surface, foam and patches as a fuller one does: at 100% the plain top of the box stood in for it.
• Ripples show on a cloudy or foamy liquid too (setMottle, setFoam, trails): their slopes catch the light as on a clear one, where before they only moved its surface unseen.

Fixed

• With Sodium 0.5.11, opening a station while smoke, flames or other particles are in view, such as by a lit stove or a campfire, could crash the game with "does not implement interface VertexBufferWriter". Particles in the way of the camera now fade through the particle itself, with any renderer.
• A station that hides its block swaps it for its scene in one frame: the block's chunk is rebuilt at once, as for a block a player places, instead of a few frames later, so the block no longer blinks or shows twice as a player comes and goes.
