InSight Chests — Changelog

Version 1.0.4 (Minecraft 1.21.1 - NeoForge) — Official Release

Major Milestone: Minecraft 1.21.1 NeoForge Port

• Official Release for Minecraft 1.21.1 NeoForge
  • InSight Chests is now officially released for Minecraft 1.21.1 on NeoForge!
  • Fully adapted to the modern 1.21.1 NeoForge lifecycle and render pipeline via our Decoupled Adapter Architecture.
  • All signature features are preserved: smooth cinematic camera glide, real-time 3D item physical collision & settling, sleek frosted glass UI, and keybind protection.

Critical Fixes: Camera Docking & Depth Carving Pipeline

• Cinematic Camera Viewport Docking Fix
  • Resolved an issue on 1.21.1 NeoForge where the camera rotated toward the chest angle but remained physically stuck at the player's eye coordinates instead of locking smoothly into the chest cavity.
  • Implemented an @At("RETURN") hook on Camera#setup to prevent vanilla player-eye lerping from overwriting custom camera coordinates.
• Hollow Interior Cavity & GPU Buffer Flush Synchronization
  • Fixed a bug where opening a chest would only show the vanilla chest opening texture instead of the true 3D hollow interior.
  • Reordered the render pipeline by flushing bufferSource.endBatch() before invoking HollowChestDepthRenderer, ensuring depth masks carve the interior cleanly without being occluded.
• Crystal Chest Cutout Glass Transparency
  • Fixed opaque white artifacts on transparent materials inside hollow interiors. Automatically switches to RenderType.entityCutoutNoCull when rendering cutout/translucent textures (such as glass walls).

Shader Breakthrough: Full Iris & Sodium Compatibility

• Flawless Shader & Performance Mod Integration
  • After extensive engineering and fine-tuning, InSight Chests 1.21.1 NeoForge runs completely stable with Sodium and Iris Shaders without visual glitches, black screens, or render pipeline crashes.
  • The 3D chest cavity lighting, transparent glass rendering for Crystal Chests, and item batching seamlessly harmonize with deferred shaderpacks (Complementary, BSL, MakeUp, Iris PBR pipelines).

Mod Compatibility & New Configurations

• Iron Chests 1.21.1 NeoForge Integration:
  • Full, flawless integration with Iron Chests (1.21.1 NeoForge) out of the box!
  • Supports all tiers: Dirt, Copper, Iron, Gold, Diamond, Crystal, and Obsidian Chests.
  • Features material-accurate interior cavity textures, transparent glass cavity for Crystal Chests, and automatic GUI scaling for 81/108-slot chests (ironChestsOversizedGuiScale).
• Crystal Chest: 8-Item Floating Preview Control (New Config & Fix):
  • New Config (enableIronChestsCrystalPreview): Added an option under the [compatibility] section (default: true) allowing players to toggle the 8 spinning preview items inside closed Crystal Chests in the world.
  • Automatic Suppression When Open: When a Crystal Chest is opened (or its lid begins opening), Iron Chests' original 8 spinning item blocks are completely suppressed to eliminate visual clipping, Z-fighting, and duplication with InSight Chests' interactive 3D physics items.
  • Bulletproof Dual-Layer Interception: Intercepts both the data provider (CrystalChestBlockEntity#getTopItems) and the render pass (IronChestRenderer), backed by safe LoadingModList mod checks to guarantee zero crashes whether Iron Chests is installed or not.
• Independent Global Item Caps:
  • Configurable independent limits for each tier (ironChestsCopperCap, ironChestsIronCap, ironChestsGoldCap, ironChestsDiamondCap) to maintain high FPS under heavy shader loads.

Community Feedback & Bug Reports
