What's new

First release for Minecraft 1.20.1, the version most large modpacks still target. Needs Java 17.

Everything from 0.2.0 is here - camera read once per rendered frame, circular movement deadzone, controller pinning for two players on one machine, and a mappings file for pads Minecraft doesn't recognise - plus four fixes found while porting.

ANALOG MOVEMENT ACTUALLY WORKS

The stick's deflection was being thrown away every tick, so any push past the deadzone moved you at full walking speed. Half-pressing the stick now walks slowly, the way it should have from the start.

STRAFING WAS MIRRORED

Left went right. Only visible once the above was fixed, since the value was being discarded before it could be wrong.

SLIDERS NO LONGER JUMP

Pressing A on a slider snapped it to 50%, because the synthetic click landed at the middle of the widget. Sliders are adjusted with left/right, so confirm now leaves them alone.

THE SETTINGS SCREEN HAS A BACKGROUND

On 1.20.1 it drew none, so the options screen showed through underneath it.

The 26.2 build still has the first two of these. A fixed release for that line is coming.
