Methane 3.0.0 ALPHA

Methane 3.0.0 Alpha release

Warning

This is a highly-unstable release, and exists so i can see if anyone has issues with this in the wild, especially with mod compat. It is highly recommended you do not use this in single player or distribute in any modpacks you may maintain.

changelog:

• fixed one of the oldest bugs with Sodium and Methane involving toggling repeatedly.
• optimizing the lighting engine even further by wrecking it further.
• Enabled more destructive config settings to squeeze more performance out of the game
• LOLCAT localization
• Minor changes to the English localization
• Make Methane fully comply with the fabric.mod.json spec, expect to see cool badges on Mod Menu now!

Important

This version of Methane brings an even larger performance boost, but is highly experimental, and world saving is incredibly unstable, expect to lose any and all data when playing singleplayer.

Methane 2.5.0

Methane 2.5.0

• Fixed a bug with Methane on servers.
• Methane now no longer draws directly to the HUD, also now prints to chat by default. (if you enable this anyways, it'll just use actionbar instead.)
• Properly isolate client code.
• All contributors will now be credited in fabric.mod.json

All methane versions from now on will actually follow the right semantic versioning scheme this time.

Methane 2.4-rc1

A "working" version of Methane 2.4 which will be released soon if no major compatibility issues arise.

Full Changelog: Methane-2.3...2.4-rc1

Methane 2.4

Methane 2.4

• Further optimizes particles by no longer calculating collision with entities. (let me know if this causes any weird behavior).
• Fixes a handful of config bugs, and also cleans the overall design up in a way that is easier to navigate.
• Added Destructive Rendering Options. This might allow you to squeeze even more performance out of the game, but it comes at the cost of some visual effects, and possibly mod compatability (most work fine with many performance mods.)

Methane 2.3

This release brings Major, possibly breaking changes to Methane. These are mainly focused around optimizing particle effects.

• 56b15ff - removes Toasts
• 60a7a0a - significantly reduce the performance impact from particles by skipping lightmap lookups with Methane on.
• 4adeea3 - adds the ability to toggle off some slow weather calculations, at the cost of breaking some effects. (can improve performance on weak hardware)

These changes should increase performance up to 2X (vs. vanilla) or more for most players, but some mods might break in the process.

The destructive weather optimizations are off by default (can be toggled) because they mess up a lot of weather effects, but it does offer more performance for those who want it.

Methane Server Utils 2.2 is compatible with this release.

Methane 2.2

Methane 2.2

• Added support for Methane Server Utils, allowing fabric server admins to enforce whether or not they want to allow Methane or if they want to force it to be used, or set their own default state for clients with the mod.
• Fix a few locale issues with Australian English and US English.

Note

Methane Server Utils only officially supports 1.20.2+, and 1.20.2 servers and 1.20 clients are not cross-compatible in Minecraft.

Methane + Methane Server Utils release

An experimental version of Methane that allows server admins to have more control over Methane users, allowing them to change the state of the mod to whatever they want.

This is a planned feature for methane in the near future, and I'm currently looking for opinions on this change as a whole.

Note

This is an experimental version! Expect some things to be buggy.

Methane 2.15

This release is retroactive, so ignore all the commits being associated with it.

Mod Menu is not available officially on 1.20.2, but in my testing it worked fine anyways.
