Highlights

• Slightly improved the performance of immediate-mode rendering (anything which is not terrain) by enabling general optimizations for all parts of the game code and other mods.
• The existing optimizations for entity rendering have been further improved, increasing frame rates by up to 7-10% in busy worlds.
• The automatic detection of graphics driver bugs and software incompatibilities has been improved.
  • The game will now crash when Rivatuner Statistics Server (RTSS) is detected, in order to prevent the user's hard drive from being filled up with errors.
  • Resource packs which attempt to load incompatible "core shaders" now show a warning.

Misc changes:.

• Fixed a bug where interacting with blocks in a debug world would result in the incorrect visual state being shown.
• Fixed some problems where chunks would not be rendered in the correct order when standing at the extreme extent of a render region.
• Fixed a bug where the client would get stuck at "Loading terrain..." for a very long time when the player's eyes and feet were in different chunks.
• Fixed a problem where animated textures would become de-synchronized with one another, due to texture updates being skipped for not-visible blocks.
• Fixed animated texture interpolation with mods that use unusual texture sizes.
• Improved compatibility with mods that replace the ColorProvider implementation of vanilla blocks.
• Improved compatibility with mods that specify a block entity renderer on "air" blocks. (Please stop doing this.)
