Distant Horizons

Highlights:

• Add LOD Textures
  • Only available for base DH rendering, Iris shaders will render LODs as untextured (this would need to be fixed on Iris' end)
• Increase LOD quality when zoomed in
  • When zoomed in on distant LODs they will slowly increase in quality, increasing your CPU load will improve the loading speed.
• Increase the minimum required OpenGL version 3.2 -> 3.3
  • Done to fix AMD generic (cloud/beacon) rendering
• When using the "Auto" rendering engine, Iris will no longer cause the game to crash
• Fix a ByteBuffer memory leak

Full Changelog

Additions:

• Add LOD Textures
  • Only available for base DH rendering, Iris shaders will render LODs as untextured (this would need to be fixed on Iris' end)
• Increase LOD quality when zoomed in
  • When zoomed in on distant LODs they will slowly increase in quality, increasing your CPU load will improve the loading speed.
• Add a warning if explicit GC is disabled
  • Disabling explicit GC is known to cause memory leaks
• Add a warning if OpenGL is used on MC 26.2

Improvements:

• F3 pooled arrays show total bytes
• ByteBuffer pooling
• Pool ByteBuffers on LOD loading
• Pool IBO cpu buffers
• Reduce far plane clipping on LOD only mode
• Several minor garbage collection pressure reductions

Changes:

• When using the "Auto" rendering engine, Iris will no longer cause the game to crash
  • Formerly this would cause the game to crash
  • If DH is set to explicitly use Blaze3D the game will still crash due to Iris not supporting Blaze3D
• Increase the minimum required OpenGL version 3.2 -> 3.3
  • Done to fix AMD generic (cloud/beacon) rendering

Bug Fixes:

• Fix replay of waiting client chunks after server level keying
• Fix instanced rendering not working on AMD
• Fix auto updater looking for the wrong 26.2 version
• Fix GL using the last frame's viewport size (fixes Vista camera rendering)
• Fix memory leak on GL viewport size change
• Fix 1.12.2 self updater crash
• Fix 1.12.2 GL states for vanilla
• Fix 1.12.2 VBO binding leaks
• Fix 1.12.2 beacon tint color using a client-only method
• Fix a rare null pointer in Blaze terrain rendering
• Fix Immersive Portals mixin warning when Immersive Portals isn't present
