Changelog
Highlights:
- MC 1.20.3, 1.20.4, 1.20.6 support
- No forge support for 1.20.6 due to Forge compiler issues
- Added NeoForge support for 1.20.6
- Massive memory decrease, especially at high render distances
- 1024 at medium can be loaded with 4 GB of memory
- Massive database file size decrease
- Note: This will only affect new worlds, old databases will be migrated to the new format, but have to be manually vacuumed to shrink their file size.
- Frustum culling
- Fixed rendering hollow structures
- Up the api version number 1.0.0 -> 2.0.0
- This means there were some breaking API changes
- World gen doesn't regenerate the same terrain twice
- World gen also starts faster after loading into the world.
- API methods needed for Iris 1.7.0 support

-
Fixed mod auto-updating on quilt - coolGi
-
Fix thread pool error logging after shutdown - James
-

Fix #680 Massive Memory Usage by ColumnRenderSource#renderDataContainer - James
Removals
- Remove Seamless Overdraw Test - James
- The experiment was interesting, but ultimately failed. There were a number of issues rendering entities and it only ever worked on Fabric.
- Near and near/far fog options - James
- Near fog was originally added back in DH 1.0 in case we couldn't remove vanilla fog, which has since proven to not be an issue.
- Remove Unlimited horizontal quality (LOD Dropoff Distance) setting - James
- Unlimited quality is unnecessary and due to how the renderer is currently set up, unable to be run on any machine at higher render distances.
- Disable cave culling for any detail level above 0 - James
- Cave culling is currently bugged and to prevent holes in the ocean that show the void this is the temporary solution.
