Pass through terrain with ForestAura

[steep hedge]

I'm updating lightwithin to 1.2.0, and i'm adding two new powers: ForestAura and ThunderAura. This a showcase of the first one, where you can pass through natural blocks and see the outline of allied/enemy entities around you. I find it pretty cool. Ah and also you are transparent-green!

Technically you could even make blocks non opaque, but you would be rendering too many faces since you would also need to render the inside of the blocks

🔥

also maybe typo in mod name?

lightwithin not ligthwithin

[steep hedge]

Yep sorry always manage to invert them without noticing lol

[late gate]

Will this update re-randomize powers? Or will I still have an earth light that makes a massive spike?

[lament rivet]

Instead of preventing you from seeing at all, perhaps blindness + no-clip’d camera so you can actually see the inside faces of blocks

But not see forever because you have blindness

[steep hedge]

Depdends if you have an UUID that also has the ""code"" for one of the new lights. If you don't you should be keeping your current light. Or rather, you would keep it anyways in the same file, unless you use /light reset. (also, everything but the lighttype should never change between updates, barring big changes to the "backend" systems. or bugs.)

Wouldn't that "force" the rendering of the insides of the block, lowering the performance?

(i did experiment with that but I would have needed to edit all the block models)

Oh wait spectator mode exists, did you mean that?

[lament rivet]

You only render the sides of blocks that the player sees at any given time, it’ll have a negligible impact on performance, and yes spectator does that by allowing the camera to clip

Face culling is done regardless of whether youre inside or outside of a block

[steep hedge]

Uh. I'll look into it thanks!

[steep hedge]

Sorry to bother you but i can't find where to "no clip" the camera. Only setting i can find is in the entity but doesn't really seem to work (tbf, intellij is doing weird stuff today)

[lament rivet]

PlayerEntity#tick first line

from a rudamentary look thats all you need

tbf if you just set block collision shapes to be empty then you'll fall through anyway and the camera should handle that fine

the rest is handled by mc already rendering the other sides of blocks when your camera is inside them

@ModifyReturnValue getCollisisonShape inside AbstractBlockState to return an emtpy voxel shape if the block is in the player or the player is sneaking and the block is below the player or the block is around the player

and give blindness
