Obscura's Panoramica

A rewrite of the capture path that fixes every known bug from 1.0.0 and adds builds for many more Minecraft versions.

New

• Builds for many more Minecraft versions, from 1.12 through 26.3, on Fabric, Forge, and/or NeoForge wherever that loader exists for the version (each file on CurseForge lists the exact Minecraft versions and loader it is for).

Improved

• Capture now works in fullscreen and with a maximized window. The game window itself is never resized during a capture; earlier versions resized it to a square, which is why fullscreen was blocked and the window used to visibly resize and flicker every time you pressed the key.
• All six faces are rendered in the same instant instead of one after another over several seconds, so moving mobs, particles, and water look the same across every face.
• Saving the images now happens on a background thread, so pressing the capture key no longer freezes the game while the PNGs are written to disk.
• Panorama resolution is no longer limited by your monitor or window size: faces can now be rendered larger than the window, up to 4096 pixels or your graphics card's limit.
• A short warm-up turns the camera to every direction before capturing, so no direction is missing chunks in the result.
• Holding the key captures exactly once; presses while a capture is already running are ignored.
• Opening a menu, leaving the world, respawning, changing dimension, or spectating another entity now cancels a running capture cleanly and restores your view, instead of leaving things in a broken state.
• The key is now listed as "Capture Panorama" in Controls.
• Singleplayer is no longer paused during capture - it isn't needed any more, since all six faces now come from the same instant.

Fixed

• A memory leak: captured images are now always released, including when a capture fails partway through.
• Your view and camera angle are restored the instant a capture finishes; you no longer end up stuck looking straight down.
• Holding the key in fullscreen no longer spams a warning into chat every tick (fullscreen now simply works).
• Forge and NeoForge servers no longer show the mod as required to join.

Notes

• Existing config files keep working: same file name and the same keys.
• screenshotDelay now means warm-up ticks per direction, spent before the capture so the world in that direction finishes loading, rather than ticks between shots (there is no delay between shots any more, since all six are captured at once). Default is now 5 (was 10).
