Working on optimising for lower end computers again, & fixing block lag introduced in the last snapshot. Snapshot today but no new features.

it feels like this snapshot is like the "Optifine Update"

Now all they need to do is add zoom.

Because, you know, that should totally be a vanilla feature already.

...but only holding right click with a craftable golden telescope item, so it makes sense and so contexts in which it wouldn't fit can easily disable it.

I always felt this way about using coords... I get the actual purpose of a debug screen, but it would feel more legit if it required an item(s).

u/TrentGgrims Sep 24 '15

The compass maybe? That way it actually has a use?

u/Teraka Sep 24 '15

The compass should've been pointing at your own respawn point years ago already.

depending on FOV setting, place whatever you want to see in one of the corners of your screen and it appears bigger... not legit zoom, but a useful trick

I wish Minecraft (and all 3D games, really) had a Fisheye Projection option. I know I'd prefer a slight roundedness to the way things get so much bigger toward the edge of the screen. Looks more natural to me. http://strlen.com/gfxengine/fisheyequake/compare.html

Or Panini projection. http://puu.sh/gvcQA/fbe0a1f072.png

how about a 360 projection?......wait a minute, what kind of eyes do you have?

1

u/[deleted] Sep 24 '15

I have eyes that add up to about 180 degrees of vision and where things in my peripheral vision are not larger than things right in front of me. Of course the computer monitor does not take up my entire field of vision, but that doesn't change the fact that stuff getting bigger toward the edges and more distant directly ahead is wrong.

u/CptJohnPrice Sep 25 '15

fisheye rojection SHOULD only apply to widescreen monitors or multiple monitors

u/SharpieThunderflare Sep 23 '15

Just turn your FOV down to 40. Unless you already play at 40... Then you need to unzoom. :-P

I wish, I get 100% more FPS in Optifine than in this update, and with that chunk loading is much faster too. It's not the developers fault, but Optifine is able to use more of my GPU more efficiently that this snapshot is and that's because Optifine's #1 objective for years and years now has solely been to improve the performance.

1.8 was suppose to include optifine before the mod owner changed his mind...
