Perspective

> **Developer's Note** > I've started working on reimplementing Overlays. > This release does include the new variables backend, but isn't used anywhere yet. > > I am planning on making an Overlays screen, similar to the shader selection screen, allowing players to re-order overlays (with the eventual goal of an 'advanced' text-editor screen for custom overlays). - Updated Bundled Luminance - You can now reorder shaders on the Shader Selection Screen by dragging over another shader. - **Note: Keybindings will cycle the first shader in the list.** --- Report bugs [here](https://git.gay/Perspective/1.x/issues).

> You'll need to install Luminance 1.1 beta 7 alongside, as the included version contains a null error that prevents booting. - Reimplemented Shader Selection Screen. - The shader selection screen now supports shader stacking, just double click to add/remove shaders. - Re-ordering is not (yet) implemented, sorry! - Updated Bundled Luminance and Seam. - Reimplemented Dynamic Crosshair - In a future alpha, I'll reimplement the data-driven taglists. - When using Dynamic Crosshair, instead of rendering as an invert, we use alpha to fade (to prevent flickering). - This means the crosshair will be the texture's colour - with vanilla's being white.

- Fixed Reset on Release. ([#3](https://git.gay/Perspective/1.x/issues/3)) - Fixed Super Secret Settings message bar not working. - Updated config screen. - Added Kaleidoscope options. - Added most Super Secret Settings options. - The only thing that isn't ready for shaders is the shader selection screen. - I *want* to make this screen be able to select and re-order multiple shaders together, however this may take some time. - Reimplemented Death Screen Co-ords. - UI Background is now data-driven.

- Replaced ZoomOverlay with ZoomAV - Config Screen (note, it doesn't contain all config values yet) - Fixed silhouette/outlined shaders crashing the game (this was actually a Luminance issue)

> **This is an experimental version!** > This alpha does **NOT** contain all of Perspective's features. > Config files and addons made for versions below [1.3 alpha 13](https://modrinth.com/mod/mclegoman-perspective/version/1.3.0-alpha.13) will not be compatible. > You won't be able to edit the config via the gui (unless you have [McQoy](https://modrinth.com/mod/mcqoy), though we'll have our own gui again soon) - Added Zoom Overlays - You can currently set between `perspective_lens:none` and `perspective_lens:spyglass` in the config file. - Updated Zoom Transitions - Transition Speed is now in the transition instead of the zoom instance. - Added `perspective_lens:instant` transition type. - Reimplemented HideHud for Hold Perspective and Zoom. - Reimplemented UI Background - Here's the identifiers to set in the config (config screens are coming back soon, i promise!) - `perspective_ui:vanilla` - Doesn't modify rendering. - `perspective_ui:gaussian` - Replaces vanilla's box blur with a gaussian blur. - `perspective_ui:legacy` - Renders a gradient when in-game, and a dirt background when in menus (excluding the title screen) out of game. - `perspective_ui:classic` - Renders a gradient when in-game, and a dirt background when in menus (including the title screen) out of game. - `perspective_ui:none` - Removes background rendering from all screens. - The new system is a lot more customizable for addon mods now, taking inspiration from my new zoom implementation. ## *features in this version* don't worry, all of Perspective's features will return. it's just going to take some time to get everything cleaned up and updated! (you'll need to change the configs via the files for now!) - Zoom - Kaleidoscope - Super Secret Settings (though you can't select it on a gui in this alpha, you can still use keybinds though!) - Hold and Set Perspective - Camera Distance Multipliers - Title Screen Update Texture - `perspective:textures/gui/title/update.png` (256x128) - Star Brightness Multiplier - UI Background

> **This is an experimental version!** > This alpha does **NOT** contain all of Perspective's features. > Previous config files and addons will not be compatible. > You won't be able to edit the config via the gui (unless you have [McQoy](https://modrinth.com/mod/mcqoy), though we'll have our own gui again soon) - Updated to Minecraft 1.21.11 - Updated [Luminance](https://modrinth.com/mod/luminance) to `1.1.0-beta.2+fabric-1.21.11` - Started working on v2. - v2 will split Perspective into multiple sub-mods, with Perspective bundling them together; they'll also be avaliable seperately. - This is going to require alot of rewriting, so I've started working on that for v1.3 to allow for *most* addons to be compatible with both 1.3+ and 2.0+. ## *features in this version* don't worry, all of Perspective's features will return. it's just going to take some time to get everything cleaned up and updated! - Zoom - Kaledescope - Super Secret Settings (though you can't select it on a gui in this alpha, you can still use keybinds though!) - Hold and Set Perspective - Camera Distance Multipliers - Title Screen Update Texture - `perspective:textures/gui/title/update.png` (256x128) - Star Brightness Multiplier

- Updated [Luminance](http://modrinth.com/mod/luminance) to `1.1.0-alpha.1+1.21.4-fabric` - Added Date Overlay. - Added Date Type config option with `perspective:gregorian` and `perspective:moon_phases` values. - Updated Config Splash Texts - Added Overlay Variables - Updated Overlays - Added Armour Overlay - Added Looking At Overlay - Added Kalidescope - Updated Perspective's Toast - This version is a Fabric only version, it probably will still work on Quilt See [Luminance:ResourcePackGuide/Perspective](https://github.com/mclegoman/luminance/blob/master/ResourcepackGuide/Perspective.md) for info on how to create custom shader packs. F.A.Q - **When will Perspective be updated for 1.21.10?** - 1.21.5+ contains a lot of rendering changes. Luminance (our shader renderer) will be updated first. This may take some time. I am looking to split Perspective up in future to allow for specific features to be used separately, however this is a long-term goal.

- Updated [Luminance](http://modrinth.com/mod/luminance) to `alpha.6+dirty`. - This is a developer build of Luminance, you may experience bugs. - Added Perspective Shader Packs - Shader Packs are a new resource pack feature that allows you to stack several Luminance shaders. - Perspective automatically adds Luminance shaders as shader packs. - Where Perspective used to use Luminance shaders, it will now use Shader Packs. - Added Textured Entity Shader Packs. - You can specify a shader pack for spectating textured entities. - `minecraft:sheep` with the name `jeb_` will render the `minecraft:wobble` shader if `Super Secret Settings` resource pack is enabled. - `minecraft:allay` will render `perspective:golden_allay` when named `Golden`, or `perspective:blue_allay` when unnamed. - `minecraft:vex` will render `perspective:golden_vex` when named `Golden`, or `perspective:blue_vex` when unnamed. - Added Perspective Config button to Video Settings screen. - Shaders, and Shader Packs no longer have to specify if they are translatable. - Various updates to April Fools, and Contributor features. See [Luminance:ResourcePackGuide/Perspective](https://github.com/mclegoman/luminance/blob/master/ResourcepackGuide/Perspective.md) for info. F.A.Q - **When will Perspective be updated for 1.21.5?** - 1.21.5 changes both shader and entity rendering. This makes the amount of time updating Perspective will take longer. We'll be updating Luminance (our shader renderer) first. If you're just after zoom and hold perspective, a viewpoint release will be released sometime in the next week or so.

 This alpha updates Perspective to Minecraft 1.21.4. **Please Note:** Super Secret Settings is disabled in this release whilst we work on Luminance. Additionally, the Luminance build included with this alpha is a development build, expect bugs. (*oh and don't enable the debug shader without Luminance: Default resource pack enabled, or your logs will get spammed.*) ## Changelog - Updated Config Version to `23`. ### Features - Added `appearance` dataloader. - You can change your skin using a resource pack! (Other players will also require Perspective and the same resource pack) - Added Textured Entity Item Group. - Note: If you change your resource packs in-world, you will need to re-log for the item group to register those changes. - Added `Perspective: Extended` Resource Pack. - Disabled by default. ### Super Secret Settings - Disabled Super Secret Settings. - We're currently working on Luminance, and will be overhauling Perspective's shader rendering in the next alpha! ### Appearance - Located at: `namespace:appearance/<name>.json`. - `uuid` (String, Required) - `slim` (boolean, Optional, Defaults to false) - `texture` (Stringified Identifer, Optional, Defaults to `namespace:textures/appearance/<name>.png`) - `enabled` (boolean, Optional, Defaults to true) ### Textured Entity - The following entities are no longer compatible: - Boats, TNT, and Firework Rockets. - Note: Players, and Ender Dragon are already incompatible. - Added `minecraft:creaking` compatibility. - The emissive eyes texture should be named `minecraft:textures/textured_entity/minecraft/creaking/<name>_emissive.png`. - or alternatively use `_emissive` as the suffix in overrides. - Added `item_group` (boolean, Optional, Defaults to true) to dataloader. (when set to false, the spawn egg will not be added to the item group; this is used by the `Taylor` `minecraft:fox` Textured Entity *shh that one's a secret*) - Added `flip` (boolean, Optional, Defaults to false) to the dataloader. - Flips the entity upside down when enabled. (When used on an entity named `Dinnerbone`, they'll be flipped back the right way!) - Updated `enabled` in the dataloader. - If set to disabled, textured entities of that type and name in resources below will be disabled. ### Bug Fixes - Fixed time overlay. - When set to 12 hour style, `12:00am` was rendered as `012:00am`. - CPS will only be processed when required. - CPS was always checked in the previous alpha, the overlay is now required to be active. ### Experimental - Removed `ambience` experiment. - I have decided that focus should remain on Textured Entity, and Shaders for 1.3. This experiment will return when we hit beta (also falling leaves won't be added as they are now in the vanilla game). ### Resource Packs #### Perspective: Default - Removed Shaders. - Don't worry! These shaders are now located in Luminance: Default. We're just allowing other mods to use our shaders without having to use Perspective! - Added `Oliver` `minecraft:pig` Textured Entity. - Oliver is based on the Muddy Pig from Minecraft Earth! - Added `Carton` `minecraft:shulker` Textured Entity. - Carton looks like a cardboard box! #### Perspective: Extended - Replaced the default cave spider texture. - Cave Spiders now have green eyes! (_Fun fact: We use the Textured Entity system to replace the default texture, as cave spiders and normal spiders usually share their eyes texture!_) - Added `plains`, `stone`, `deepslate`, and `dirt` `minecraft:creeper` textured entities. ## Known Bugs - Panoramic Screenshots don't actually save the screenshots. ## Development Build Please help us improve by submitting [bug reports](https://github.com/mclegoman/perspective/issues) if you encounter any issues. ### Want to support my work?
