Wakes Reforged

v1.3.3

Bug Fixes

• Fixed wakes growing infinitely when stationary in a boat

Performance Improvements

• Replaced per-pixel Math.pow with pre-computed 256-entry lookup table
• Cached wake color interval thresholds as a primitive double array
• Added early-exit fast sigmoid — skips Math.exp for extreme wave values
• Removed dead code (unused blend method and its allocations)

Combined with previous optimizations, the color sampling path is now ~1.8x faster than v1.3.1.

v1.3.1 for 1.21.1

Made the mod not crash anymore on server Sable / Create Aeronautics compatibility — moving sub-levels leave ocean wakes, entities on sub-level water leave trail wakes rendered at the visual position

v1.2.1

New Features

• Entities now create a splash wake when exiting water

Bug Fixes

• Fixed crash with Colorful Lighting / Sodium Compat (#12)

Performance Improvements

Significant rendering performance gains — expect 30-50% less CPU time spent on wake rendering in busy scenes.

• Cached color hex parsing to avoid redundant string operations every frame
• Cached wave simulation parameters — no longer recalculated per-node per-tick
• Optimized wave propagation loop with hoisted array references, reducing redundant memory lookups
• Eliminated per-pixel object allocations in color blending, greatly reducing GC pressure
• Cached blend strength config read out of the inner rendering loop

These changes reduce frame drops when many wakes are active on screen.
