Changelog

Added

• Added an experimental Panini Projection option with configurable strength.
  • Reprojects world rendering while leaving the held item and hand unchanged.
  • Automatically skips the effect while scoping, using an Iris shader pack, preventing vanilla shaders, or rendering incompatible camera states.
• Added Greenlight-backed multiplayer authorization for Protected Gameplay Fog.
  • Covers blindness, darkness, lava, powder snow, and water fog.
  • Servers can authorize each fog type independently, set its maximum distance, and decide whether players may turn it off.
  • Authorization is delivered through a server resource pack; no server-side mod is required.
  • Players still choose their own fog settings and need Greenlight installed on multiplayer. Missing or invalid authorization leaves protected fog at vanilla behavior.
  • Private singleplayer and LAN worlds with cheats enabled continue to allow local protected fog settings without a server policy.
  • See Protected Gameplay Fog, Server Policies, and the example policy pack.

Changed

• Expanded atmospheric fog controls.
  • Per-dimension settings can now override fog start, fog shape, and cloud fog in addition to terrain fog distance.
  • Replaced the Cloud Fog toggle with a percentage control for the cloud fade distance.
  • Sky fog now follows custom terrain fog so the horizon blends without a visible seam.
  • New per-dimension overrides inherit the current global atmospheric settings when first edited.
• Made the custom Cylindrical fog shape substantially taller and updated Sodium's chunk culling to match its visible area.
• Hardened particle filtering.
  • Uses constant-time option lookups without mutating or bloating the config during particle creation.
  • Leaves unidentified particle types enabled.
  • No longer cancels particle packets in the network handler.
• Removed the old beacon beam rendering optimization.

Fixed

• Fixed opening the video settings screen creating and saving untouched per-dimension fog overrides.
