Catalyst

[0.2.1] - 2026-01-22

Removed

• Lazy Loading Optimizations: Completely removed lazy loading features (Lazy Block Entities, Lazy Block Tick, Lazy Fluid Processing) as they only performed throttling without actual optimization benefits
  • Removed LAZY_BLOCK_ENTITIES_ENABLED, LAZY_BLOCK_TICK_ENABLED, LAZY_FLUID_ENABLED config fields
  • Removed BlockModuleMixin, BlockTickPluginMixin, FluidPluginMixin mixin classes
  • Removed lazy loading UI toggles and event handlers
  • Removed lazy loading from metrics and menu displays

Changed

• Settings UI Improvements:
  • Moved Reset to Defaults button outside of tab panels to stay fixed at bottom
  • Simplified slider options by removing redundant checkboxes - sliders are now standalone
  • Fixed tab button highlighting - selected tab now properly changes background when switching tabs
  • Tab buttons now use direct Background property for dynamic styling
• Menu & Metrics: Updated to show Runtime Optimizations instead of removed Lazy Loading options

Added

• New Transformers: Added multiple bytecode transformers for various optimizations:
  • Animation and Particle toggle transformers
  • Biome/Tint interpolation transformers
  • Chunk cache, pool size, and parallel generation transformers
  • Lighting optimizations (batch, distance, propagation, queue, flat cache, packed ops)
  • Height search and opacity lookup cache transformers
• Visual Effects Toggle: New utility class for particle and animation control
• Config Persistence: Added CatalystEarlyInit for config file loading/saving
