Rvandoosselaer Blocks Versions Save

What's new:

• Added a Fluid-pbr material definition to style fluid blocks. The material supports texture scrolling and simulation of waves.

What's new:

• Updated physics library Minie to 1.5.0for33

Highlights of this release

• The TypeRegistry and theming system got a major overhaul. It is now possible to provide custom materials and load material files from a theme folder.

Complete release notes:

• load a material file from the theme folder
• load a top, side and bottom texture from the theme folder and combine them at runtime
• add a PBRBlock example application to the examples project
• create a PBR material definition version of the water material.
• remove a chunk from the ChunkManager queue's when the chunk is removed from the cache

What's new:

• Updated physics library Minie to version 1.4.0for33
• Updated gradle wrapper to version 6.2
• Added the ability to remove blocks from the BlockRegistry
• Changed visibility to public of the #isFaceVisible() and #getNeighbour() methods in the Chunk class

What's new:

• Updated physics library Minie to 1.3.0for33

Highlights of this release

• Removed BlocksManager in favour of a new implementation ChunkManager
• Using Minie as the default physics library instead of bullet
• A new rounded cube shape

Complete release notes:

• Extracted the cache implementation of the BlocksManager to a separate ChunkCache class
• BlocksManager is renamed to ChunkManager and got some major refactoring
• ChunkManager is now by default multithreaded
• ChunkManager is able to trigger mesh updates on chunks when chunks are added or removed to the cache
• Use Minie 1.2.0for33 in favour of bullet
• Added a rounded cube shape
• Updated grass texture
• Updated collision shapes for a stair shape to a simpler wedge shape
• Fixed a bug in the block and chunk location calculation methods. The block scale was not taken into account.
• Fixed a NPE when a mesh doesn't have a tangent buffer
• Added a listener that is triggered when a page is attached, detached and updated using the Pager

Bug fixes:

• texture paths are now correctly constructed on windows machines. See #6

Highlighs of this release:

• Updated the chunk mesh algorithm to look for blocks in neighbouring chunks. When blocks are adjacent but in different chunks, the shared face between them isn't rendered anymore.
• Added a lot more blocks
• Updated the default theme
• Added a new theme 'Faithful'. This theme has smaller texture sizes and doesn't use normal or parallax maps for low-end computers.

Complete release notes:

• refactoring and general optimisations in the code base
• added a wireframe debug option to all examples
• updated the mesh algorithm to check blocks in neighbouring chunks
• Direction enum now throws an IllegalArgumentException when a direction couldn't be retrieved
• Direction enum has a new #opposite() method
• changed the UV mapping of the pyramid shape
• added BlockIds, ShapeIds and TypeIds interfaces that contain constants for all available block, shape and types. To more easily retrieve Block, Shape and Type objects from their respective registries.
• added a lot more blocks
• changed the default theme
• added an additional theme 'Faithful'

Bug fixes:

• fixed a bug in the BlockPicking example. Sometimes a block was placed at a different position where the placeholder was pointing at.

First release of Blocks.

What's new:

• Framework to structure block elements in chunks
• Mesh generator for creating meshes and collision meshes for chunks
• Support for different themes (textures)
