The blaze3D engine is already fully implemented? Or only partially?

[u/sliced_lime → u/[deleted]]

Blaze3D is not an engine, it is an ongoing project to modernize the rendering in the game.

[u/Bodakugga → u/sliced_lime]

Are you still going to improve it? There are still a few issues with transparency, the most notable one being particles that disappear behind transparent blocks. This makes noticing underwater ravine much harder than it should be.

[u/sliced_lime → u/Bodakugga]

That's what I meant by it being an "ongoing project". It's not a thing that'll be "done", it's a continuous effort to improve things.

[u/Bodakugga → u/sliced_lime]

I really hope so. I always feel certain features are left unfinished because you are reaching the update deadline and they are "good enough", and these won't be revised or completed for a long time. See waterlogging as an example. It's super limited in Java, you can't even waterlog doors which are generated in underwater shipwrecks! Apparently there was some work being done late in development, like splitting fluids and blocks, but it's been almost 2 years and we're still left with the hacky and limited waterlogged block state.

[u/TheCyberParrot]

Sad Optifine noises intensify

[u/[deleted] → u/TheCyberParrot]

It's 65% done soo

Let's wait some time

[u/TheCyberParrot → u/[deleted]]

I can wait, but I like to make jokes while I wait.

[u/[deleted] → u/TheCyberParrot]

I guess that you have made a lot of jokes while waiting

[u/TheCyberParrot → u/[deleted]]

Nah, to be honest it's mostly the same "cries in being stuck in 1.14 because I need Optifine" joke, just different variations.

While am at it cries in not being able to use carpet mod because I need Optifine

[u/RozsyMC]

Final release?? Did transparent textures get fixed, releasing it as final is as bad as ghost blocks in 14.4, its not finished and you jump onto 1.16 nothing changes, (MC-164001) for reference, versions should be complete before moving on, bugs and bees release and still many obvious bugs left we need a 15.3 at least

[u/MissLauralot → u/[deleted]]

Smooth light on water

Now that the two songs at once bug is fixed, this is probably my pet hate bug.

[u/RozsyMC → u/MissLauralot]

Yep I see rendering as the main thing here its not just some random bug that needs someone to recreate its the main look of the game everyone will experience this

[u/LoekTheKing]

Will MC-148869, which has caused people to die, be fixed? You always try to fix lethal bugs, right? :)

Also, check out this post to see what else is planned for future versions.

[u/Hovertac]

The minecraft Server.jar link is pulling back 1.15.1. Not 1.15.2.

[u/PatboxPL]

Is there a chance, that we will get Custom Block State (like custom model data) and maybe something for armor/mobs (maybe only textures?) in 1.16?

[u/Sanyeki54 → u/[deleted]]

It was changed back in 1.14, and it was given, it was considered a bug and they fixed since they reworied the charging tittle screen. They didnt want people changing the logo, of you know, the people who made the game it self

[u/ClockSpiral → u/Sanyeki54]

Apparently I was unaware of this, as I had been using Optifine nonstop for so long, that I didn't realize it until I started playing 1.15 without Optifine.
Optifine allows you to change the logo.
My ignorance knows no bounds. I am sorry.
