Perspective 1.1.0

This release has so many new features that I hope you all enjoy!

Features

• Added Screen Mode for Super Secret Settings
  • Screen Mode overlays the shader on the entire game, including screens.
  • This also fixes the shader being removed when changing perspective, on both Screen and Game mode.
• Added Textured Entity
  • Named Textured Entity allows users to name an entity and have a custom texture using resource packs.
  • Random Textured Entity chooses a random texture from the loaded textured entities.
• Added Customisable Default Config
  • You can customise what Perspective considers "default" for config options using resource packs.
  • You can also now reset the zoom level via the mouse wheel.
• Added Panorama Screenshots
  • You can take a panorama screenshot which automatically turns into a resource pack.
  • Note: Make sure all chunks are loaded before taking the panorama.
• Added April Fools' Prank
  • Perspective automatically turns on the April Fools' Prank if anywhere in the world is April 1st.
  • This can be turned off in the config. You can also force the prank to be run at any point in the year.
• Added Pride Logo
  • During pride month, Perspective's logo changes its colours to support Pride!
  • In this version, only Pride and Trans logos can be randomly chosen from. More will be added in future versions.
  • You can also support Pride all year long with the "Force Pride" config option.
• Added Version Overlay
  • Reimplements the Version Overlay from early versions of Minecraft.

Technical

• Zoom Level is now stored as the value of the percentage in the config, instead of using the (100 - value) method.
• Perspective's config is now accessed via PerspectiveConfigDataLoader, this is to allow for multiple config files.
• Depth Shaders are now compatible with Perspective's Super Secret Settings. (Forked from Souper Secret Settings by Nettakrim)
• Added Perspective Overlay which doesn't get hidden when HideHUD is active.
• Vanilla doesn't account for namespace for shaders, in both the shader program and shader textures, Perspective now fixes that. (Contributor: Nettakrim)

Experimental Features

These features aren't ready to be fully released yet, however you can try them out using the Experimental config.
Note: Experiments can be removed at any point.

• Toggle Armour
  • When active, armour will not be rendered on players.
  • This can also be set separately for specific super secret settings.
• Toggle Nametags
  • When active, nametags will not be rendered.
  • This can also be set separately for specific super secret settings.

Both of these experiments are planned to have a customisable data/resource pack dataloader for specific players, however this feature is not in the mod yet.

F.A.Q

• How do I add a Textured Entity, Shader, or Custom Default Config Values?
  • Tutorials will be added to Perspective Documentation soon.
  • I'll try to add some basic information asap.
• Why are my Custom Shaders/Textured Entities aren't showing?
  • Check if you have enabled the Resource Pack with the Custom Shaders/Textured Entities.
  • Additionally, make sure the config options are enabled.
  • If all that fails, Create a Bug Report.

DEVELOPERS NOTE

This should be the final Release Candidate, the full release will be made available in a few hours.

CHANGELOG

• Fixed namespace issue with textures in post processor shaders. (Pull Request by Nettakrim)
