Death Echo

v0.0.0-beta.3 - It looks at you

Two fixes from the first look at the new model in game.

Fixed

• The echo now faces you. It used to stand frozen in whatever direction it appeared. Now it turns its whole body to follow the nearest player within 24 blocks, smoothly rather than snapping, and tilts its head up or down to look at them. Walk a circle around it and it turns with you.
• Clouds no longer show through the echo. Looking at an echo against a cloudy sky drew the clouds in front of it, even though it stood between you and them. The figure is still translucent, full-bright and unshaded as before, but it now occludes what is behind it properly.

Notes

• The turning is purely visual and runs on each player's own client: it costs no network traffic, and with several players nearby the echo faces whoever is closest.
• Because the echo now hides what is behind it, its own inner layers may show through each other a little less than before, so the figure can read slightly more solid.
• Not verified in game yet.
