Thanks Nacolla and Ninni for the help!

Updates

• Added a dynamic software-based rendering system to ensure Hullback's damaged armor renders correctly with OptiFine and Oculus shaders.
• Replaced vanilla movement wrappers with custom stationary-aware controls for smoother behavior.
• Implemented full compatibility with Neat health bar mod.
  • Added new configuration options to scale and dynamically offset UI heights based on the Hullback size.
• Tweaked Hullback physics and mechanics for a smoother experience:
  • Improved riding timers for better dismount logic and player detection.
  • Added hysteresis to platform spawning to prevent rapid snapping when hovering on the edge.
  • Adjusted proportional buoyancy and water seeking for a smoother resting depth.
  • Changed Walkable Platforms to use fluid interpolation instead of hard hitbox snapping.
  • Dynamically altered player detection bounding boxes based on approach states.
• Cleaned up the codebase by removing unused classes, obsolete rendering types, and dead tracking files.
• Added a new server-side config allowing customization of fields such as:
  • Hullback's spawn frequency(Chance based)
  • Hullback's spawn cap
  • Hullback's despawn time(tick based) including
    • A multiplier to said time
    • A grace radius around the Hullback that pauses the despawn timer in case the player is inside it.
  • Debug settings for:
    • Hullback buoyancy system:
      • Height on water for:
        • Wild Hullbacks
        • Tamed Hullbacks:
          • While stationary
          • While sailing(when player sits on the helm)
• Refactored the barnacle dirt placement system.
• Made it so widgets such as sails and cannons can be placed on the ground.
  • Interacting with the sails by right clicking them will make them rotate.
    • Right click: 11,25 degrees to the left
    • Shift + Right click: 11,25 degrees to the right

Fixes

• Fixed major visual glitches where damaged armor planks would break depth tests when shaders were active.
• Fixed a critical detachment bug where attached widgets would detach from the Hullback sometimes upon joining a world(through exaustive tests, the possible cause was an forced/improper shutdown of the game)
• Fixed a terrestrial speed bug where the Hullback would move at extreme aquatic speeds while stranded on land.
• Fixed the desynchronization of the Hullback's swimming animation and the Helm's wheel rotation when being controlled.
  • Before it would only be shown to the one controlling it, now both sides will be able to see it.
• Fixed innacurate player movement when riding a mast attached to the Hullback's tail.
• Fixed visual z-axis rotation for passengers while the Hullback is being controlled.
