InSight Chests — Changelog

Version 1.0.4 (Minecraft 1.21.3 - NeoForge) — Official Release

Major Milestone: Minecraft 1.21.3 NeoForge Port

• Official Release for Minecraft 1.21.3 NeoForge
  • InSight Chests is now officially ported and released for Minecraft 1.21.3 on NeoForge (v21.3.58+)!
  • Engineered to support the Bundles of Bravery update ecosystem while maintaining the stability of our Decoupled Adapter Architecture.
  • All core features perform flawlessly: cinematic camera docking, client-side 3D physical item settling & avalanche physics, frosted glass UI, and comprehensive keybind protection.

Modernization & Technical Adaptations (1.21.3)

• Mojang NativeImage Pixel API Modernization
  • Adapted to Mojang's breaking internal graphic changes in Minecraft 1.21.3+: updated the lightmap sampling pipeline in NeoForgeLightAdapter from the legacy NativeImage#getPixelRGBA to the modern NativeImage#getPixel signature.
  • Guarantees accurate real-time dynamic light harvesting for 3D physical items inside chest cavities under varying world illumination levels.
• NeoForge 21.3.58 Lifecycle & Mod Loading Alignment
  • Fully verified and aligned with the updated FML LoadingModList registry and classloader lifecycle in NeoForge 21.3.x.

Complete Feature Set: Camera, Shaders & Depth Carving

• Rock-Solid Camera Docking & Viewport Locking
  • Preserves the @At("RETURN") hook on Camera#setup, ensuring smooth cinematic transitions firmly anchor to the chest cavity without being overwritten by player-eye lerping.
• True Hollow Chest Interior & Correct Buffer Flush Order
  • Retains the synchronized buffer flush pipeline (bufferSource.endBatch() before HollowChestDepthRenderer), producing deep 3D interior carving without Z-fighting or missing cavity artifacts.
• Crystal Clear Transparency
  • Maintains automatic routing to RenderType.entityCutoutNoCull for transparent/cutout materials, preventing opaque white artifacting on glass walls.
• Sodium & Iris Shaders Harmony
  • Fully compatible with modern shaderpacks and rendering engines running on 1.21.3.

Iron Chests (1.21.3 NeoForge) Compatibility & Crystal Chest Features

• Seamless Iron Chests (1.21.3 NeoForge) Integration:
  • Out-of-the-box support for all Iron Chests tiers: Dirt, Copper, Iron, Gold, Diamond, Crystal, and Obsidian Chests.
  • Full compatibility with oversized interfaces (81 & 108 slots) via ironChestsOversizedGuiScale.
• Crystal Chest: 8-Item Floating Preview Control (Config & Open Suppression):
  • New Config (enableIronChestsCrystalPreview): Added under [compatibility] (default: true) to allow players to toggle whether the 8 spinning preview items appear inside closed Crystal Chests in the world.
  • 100% Elimination When Chest is Open: Opening a Crystal Chest completely disables Iron Chests' original 8 spinning item blocks, leaving the interior entirely clear for InSight Chests' interactive 3D physics models.
  • Unbreakable Dual-Layer Suppression:
    1. Data Layer: Intercepts CrystalChestBlockEntity#getTopItems at HEAD, returning empty stacks when active. Iron Chests' renderer detects empty stacks and aborts drawing instantly.
    2. Physical Lid Detection: Automatically engages whenever LidBlockEntity#getOpenNess > 0.001F, ensuring zero lag or desync between the chest lid opening and item suppression.
  • Crash-Proof Mod Detection: Safe conditional Mixin loading backed by NeoForge's LoadingModList — zero crashes whether Iron Chests is present or not.
• Independent Global Item Caps:
  • Custom item representation caps for all tiers (ironChestsCopperCap, ironChestsIronCap, ironChestsGoldCap, ironChestsDiamondCap) to maintain steady 60+ FPS under intense modded storage setups.
