Mystcraft 0.12.1 and LookingGlass 0.2.0

I hope everyone has been happy with the baselining changes. I’ve not heard anything, so I assume no one had any complaints. 😛

Last weekend I didn’t release anything due to MineCon. No explanation needed there, I’m sure. 😉

I’ve nearly finished the initial version of Slidercraft, which should be fun. It’ll make for a good toy on Let’s Plays and video series, as well as a fun gameplay mode in general, I hope.
Part of that has been testing and building a number of things for realtime portal rendering and transition. The inter-dim portals are coming along nicely.
Unfortunately, that’s not quite here, yet.

What I have for release right now is some LookingGlass improvements. Particularly, I’ve improved the cleanup handling for views, so if your objects clean up properly (in terms of Garbage Collection) then the frame buffers used by the views will clean up too. This is mostly a modder focused improvement, but it will hopefully positively impact end-user performance.
I also fixed a bug where the current world’s entities would get muddled if you created a view to it. Should be alright now.

Mystcraft got an update as well, mostly to use the new version of LookingGlass.

One of the most exciting things for this set of builds is probably the inclusion of the API sources in the dev and API jars for both Mystcraft and LookingGlass. The dev jars will be available alongside the API jars from now on.
This means those using the APIs will get the javadoc and be able to read the original source code of the APIs. This was the original intent, but I messed it up, apparently. 😛
Note that is IS possible to use CurseForge as a maven repository, but it’s not great. You have to refer to the specific file you want to download. I’m trying to get a better location, but I’m in the middle of relocating my website and haven’t gotten any offers for places to upload to.

At any rate, I’m looking forward to all the fun stuff coming up! 😀

Enjoy!

Mystcraft is available from CurseForge.
