Dream Displays

Highlights

• Experimental addons: you can build your own Fabric / NeoForge mod or Paper addon
• A much simpler experimental developer API

Client

Features

• Experimental addons:
  • Mark a class with @Addon and register it with DreamDisplays.register(...)
  • Works on the client, the server, or both
  • Everything an addon subscribes to is cleaned up automatically when it is disabled

Improvements

• Much simpler developer API:
  • One entry point, DreamDisplays, instead of a set of service keys
  • A display is now a live object: display.volume = 0.5f, display.play(), display.seek(30_000)
  • Act on many displays at once: DreamDisplays.displays.near(x, y, z, 32.0).pause()
  • Subscriptions are grouped in a session and closed together; per-display ones end when the display is removed
  • Commands return a clear result, and a removed display never crashes your code
  • onReady { } lets your code wait until Dream Displays has loaded
• API for moving displays: DreamDisplays.placements tells Dream Displays where a display really is, and it is drawn, heard, clicked and culled there
• API for addon data on displays (display.customData) and public display position math
• The API is published as a separate artifact with sources, and now contains only what integrations can use

Fixes

• API methods no longer have unreadable names in some cases

Server

Features

• Server API for Paper, Fabric and NeoForge
• Support experimental addons
