Updated to support versions 1.21.2 and 1.21.3 of minecraft.

Finally I got to porting my mod to the newest version. That opengl got hands. Sorry that it took so long but Mojang likes to make some breaking changes almost every new release lately.

Rebuilt the shape manager UI using the grid system. This finally makes the ui responsive and taking up only the space it actually needs.

Bugfixes:

• Fixed a bug where it wasn't possible to change the name of already existing shapes

Added checks for incorrect color values to prevent crashes as reported in issue #2

• Migrated from Minecraft options screen to YACL. This has a couple benefits:
  • It allows much more flexibility on the backend.
  • It looks a lot cleaner.
  • Fixes weird issues with Minecraft Options class would be missing for some reason.
• Added sliders for customizing the opacities of phantom blocks

• Added block amounts
• Added option to switch between rendering modes
• Added a warning about overwrite protection being enabled

• Added the hexagon shape

• Replaced the rotation slider with a button
• Added a keyboard bind for rerendering all shapes
• Fixed the rendering toggle bind

Shapes now update properly upon placing or destroying a block within a projection.

• Every shape change will now show up in realtime
• Removed the possibility of changing the shape type of already existing shape
• Fixed a bug where shapes would not rerender on change

• New rendering pipeline!

  I decided to write my own rendering code and started using vertex buffers. The performance improved drastically.

• Fixed a bug with some of the mod settings not saving and loading properly

This is the first official version of PhantomShapes!
