ForgeGradle (probably sensibly) yells at me about doing this. However:
- There's a reasonable number of mods doing this, which establishes
some optimistic precedent.
- The licence update in Aug 2020 now allows you to use them for
"development purposes". I guess source code counts??
- I'm fairly sure this is also compatible with the CCPL - there's an
exception for Minecraft code.
The main motivation for this is to make the Fabric port a little
easier. Hopefully folks (maybe me in the future, we'll see) will no
longer have to deal with mapping hell when merging - only mod loader
hell.
I hope the Fabric folks now realise this is gonna be a race of who can
update first :p. Either way, this was a very easy update - only changes
were due to unrelated Forge changes.
A lot is broken, but at least we can get in game:
- GUIs render a whole bunch of additional "inventory" text, which we
really don't want.
- Computers load from the wrong location.
- There's some issues with using Forge's tags from outside of JSON
recipes. We need to work out why.
When calling .flip(), we limit the size of the buffer. However, this
limit is not reset when writing the next time, which means we get
out-of-bounds errors, even if the buffer is /technically/ big enough.
Clearing the buffer before drawing (rather than just resetting the
position) is enough to fix this.
Fixes#476 (and closes#477, which is a duplicate)
Most of the port is pretty simple. The main problems are regarding
changes to Minecraft's rendering system.
- Remove several rendering tweaks until Forge's compatibility it
brought up-to-date
- Map rendering for pocket computers and printouts
- Item frame rendering for printouts
- Custom block outlines for monitors and cables/wired modems
- Custom breaking progress for cables/wired modems
- Turtle "Dinnerbone" rendering is currently broken, as normals are not
correctly transformed.
- Rewrite FixedWidthFontRenderer to to the buffer in a single sweep.
In order to do this, the term_font now also bundles a "background"
section, which is just a blank region of the screen.
- Render monitors using a VBO instead of a call list. I haven't
compared performance yet, but it manages to render a 6x5 array of
_static_ monitors at almost 60fps, which seems pretty reasonable.
