Perspective 1.2.3-release.1 for 1.20.5/6

With 1.21 coming out soon, Perspective 1.3 will now be developed for 1.21. This release of Perspective gives 1.20.5/6 a more stable build.
For the latest 1.3 build for 1.20.5/6 use 1.3.0-alpha.6.

Changelog

• Backported Perspective Config Splash Texts from 1.3.0-alpha.6.
• Updated Super Secret Settings.
  • Vanilla shaders that aren't used by mobs will now be in Luminance's Super Secret Settings resource pack.

Known Issues

• Rendering depth shaders will render over the player's hand.
  • This will be fixed in 1.3.
• Modrinth Filename is just 6.jar
  • This was caused by my build script and I can't rename it without reuploading the verison.

1.3 Development

1.3.0-alpha.7 will change a lot with shader rendering, and will take some time for me to work on. I will release a (VERY UNPOLISHED/UNSTABLE) pre-build before my break on my discord.

                  "silhouette"
              ],
              "disable_soup": [],

      ],
      "entity_links": {
          "entity.minecraft.warden": "perspective:silhouette"
      }
  }

If no namespace is given, the first instance of a shader with that name will be used.

Perspective 1.3.0-alpha.3 for 24w03a/b

This update adds support for logarithmic zoom, and scaling when zoomed for mouse movement, view bobbing, and damage tilt scaling.

  • This update also adds support for "replace".
    • When inside a namespace, all shaders in that namespace currently registered will be removed.
    • When outside the namespacelist, all shaders no matter the namespace will be removed.
