Major things to note:
Class renames: https://gist.github.com/LexManos/44dd211f90f498ad4015279b103dff86
Tile Entities are now packed in the ChunkData packet.
Forge intends to work around this to better support large moded worlds, but for the time being modders should implement the new function carefully and only send what data they need to!
Minecraft's codebase now has annotations, these are directly from Mojang and should be adheared to!
Added support for package-info.java's containing @Nullable information for all MC code base.
Modders can now modify and reference internal elements of a loot table by name.
Editing can ONLY be done in the event and any external editing will cause a exception to be thrown.
See this gist for more information: https://gist.github.com/LexManos/77c983d67b9ad27010428478b66d50fd
Enables mods to modify raw FOV directly.
Avoids modifier limit from FOVUpdateEvent.
Aware of blocks which are needed for fov change related with materials.
Main things of interest:
* IAnimationStateMachine - state machine for animations; can load
from json.
* AnimationTESR - automatic TESR for animated models.
* AnimationModelBase - same for entities.
* ITimeValue - time-varying value, used to control animation
parameters from code.
* TESRs can now be batched - look at TESR.renderTileEntityFast +
TE.hasFastRenderer.
* RegionRenderCache is not accessible to TESRs and other client-side
logic - MinecraftForgeClient.getRegionRenderCache.
When combined with @Optional this should address all issues of soft dependancy on mods/apis.
This also addresses the issue of dynamic functionality in TileEntities/Entities.
Current capability providers: TileEntity, Entity, ItemStack
Also added INBTSerializeable, a generic interface for game objects that can be written to/from NBT tags.
Vanilla capabilities will be coming soon, mostly on request and review.
So start requesting capabiliteis on vanilla/Forge features.
And helper functions in GameRegistry to allow for registering using those names automatically.
This is to simplify registration and get rid of the horrible hacks users are doing now with 'unlocalised names'.
