Techguns [Unofficial Port]

0.2.0-beta

First beta: all features of the original mod have been tested in game.

⚡ Performance

• Gun, armor and machine models are now pre-transformed once instead of transforming each of the ~100 parts of a gun every frame. Same picture, verified vertex by vertex against the old rendering.
  • Inventory and JEI full of guns: icon rendering is 1.5 to 4.8 times faster.
  • Guns held by players and NPCs, worn armor and machine models are cheaper too.
• Particles are drawn in one batch per effect type, and particles outside the view are skipped.
• The first person FOV correction that keeps effects on the muzzle costs much less.

🎨 Shader compatibility

• Projectiles, beams (laser, tesla, NDR), muzzle flashes and particles are no longer invisible with shader packs (tested with Oculus + Embeddium; OptiFine not tested).
• Known issue: with the Bliss shader pack, effects look pixelated.

⚙️ New option

• EffectsQuality in techguns-client.toml (0.0 to 1.0, default 1.0): amount of particles spawned by weapons and explosions.

🔧 Changes

• Effects now fade with distance fog, like vanilla effects.
