Heyo!

I’ve been rushing like crazy to try and get this release out, and it’s 20 minutes to midnight and I was supposed to pop out like 10 minutes ago.

Anyways, Portal Gun’s now available for Minecraft 1.10.2. Requires iChunUtil 6.3.0. Get it here. I’ll write more later.

HOWEVER: Do note that although released, there are still many changes and alterations and known issues that I’ll have to address as time comes. Notable: Portal rendering can be finicky at times and flicker. You can’t grab entities through portals. You can’t shoot portals through iron grills. You can’t (I don’t know, I didn’t try) use portals over long distances (yet!). Having a new pair of portals can occasionally lag the client (badly!). Lacking a lot of particles and effects.

Recipe for the moment is as in the old mod, still subject to change. Portal projectile render may or may not be final.

Again though, like I said, gotta run, I’ll write later! Discussion (issue reports, suggestions, anything in general) over here on Reddit!

 

Cheers!
– iChun

 

EDIT: I feel the need to add that the mod is very much so still a WIP. A lot of issues need to be ironed out and I feel that this release actually isn’t up to my typical standard, but I’ve been targeting a release for PG today for over a month now and here it is. So for now, enjoy.

EDIT2: The mod is crashing on dedicated servers! My bad! I’ll fix it tomorrow.

iChunUtil:
– Item models makes a return, with much difficulty.
– Reimplement several helper methods.
– Add two-handed item handling, for use of several mods.
– Fix improper month check causing events to occur a month late.
– Fix patron effects locking if changed too rapidly.
– Fix improper rendering of the EntityBlock entity.

All Others:
– Updated for Minecraft 1.10.2.
– Now require Java 8+.
– Primary Items in each mod are now two-handed items.

Back Tools:
– Fixed lighting issues in the world and in the GUI caused by rendering a back tool.

– Fixed issues caused by thread collisions between the network thread and the main thread, causing crashes in both iChunUtil and other mods (such as IC2)
– Fixed being unable to craft the compact porkchop on dedicated servers.
– Several adjustments to iChunUtil’s EntityBlock, including events and API changes. Currently unused by any mod AFAIK.
– Change Compact Porkchop’s registered name to conform to Minecraft’s asset naming convention.
– Large code cleanup and refactor. Java 8 is used code-wise as well now and now becomes a hard requirement.

Okay, before I write the changelog for these mods, let me explain why it has taken this long to update them.

A long while back, I realised iChunUtil was a big mess of code and chose to rewrote it. However, because of its size, it took quite a while working on it and eventually I got burnt out working on it. I had a lot of plans for the rewrite, and then life gets in the way, and as a result, this rewrite is not 100% done. It is still missing quite a significant amount of code and the other mods updated today are the few mods that could be updated with what code was already in there.

Unfortunately I would have to say that life is, once again, getting in the way, so this will be my last update for 1.10.2 until January 2017. Don’t fret though, I will update my mods eventually. Time flies, so I’ll be back at it in no time.

Till next time though!

Cheers!
