LiDAR Scan

First public release.

A client-side lidar scanner. Range, reflectance and noise follow the lidar equation; materials carry near-infrared reflectance, specular lobes and transmittance; a pulse can return several times and return mode selects what the receiver reports. Geometry comes from block and entity models rather than collision boxes.

The cloud holds ten million points, thins itself with distance, and is saved per world folder. K exports it to ASPRS LAS 1.4 point record format 7 and to PLY, with colour, intensity, ASPRS class and scan angle on every point.

46 options, each with its unit, its range and the source of its number.

Known limits: world hiding uses Mixin against the render path, so conflicts with Sodium-style optimizers and Iris/Oculus shaderpacks are likely and untested. On a server that runs several worlds behind one address, the client cannot tell them apart and they share one cloud.
