Changes:

• Performance boost! 🚀
• Rendering optimizations
• Chunk processing optimizations
• New optimized stylesheet engine implementation
• Optimized anvil chunk processing (for JE worlds before 1.13)
• Compiled with R2R for better startup time, JIT caused initial slowness is gone
• Enabled libdeflate on all platforms except win-arm64 for better decompression performance
• (GUI) Changed tile cache image format from PNG to QOI for better performance

uNmINeD is now faster than ever.

Changes:

• Optimized pattern matching => faster tagging and stylesheet processing => faster initial map loading
• (GUI) Fixed 0.19.8 broken filters

Changes:

• (GUI) Added textured rendering (feature preview)
  • The textured rendering is a feature preview, it’s only available in the GUI at this time (no export, no CLI). It works with Java worlds, and requires Minecraft to be installed.
• Optimization
  • Reduced memory usage
  • Faster chunk processing
  • Faster shadow mapping (huge boost for 3D shadows!)
  • Faster expression evaluating, tag resolving and stylesheet rule processing
  • Faster rendering
  • Faster initial map loading
• Shadow rendering
  • Improved and high resolution shadow mapping that looks good when zooming in
  • Grass, flowers and other blocks tagged with #shadowless do not cast shadows and appear flat, resulting a clearer image
• Biome tinting
  • Improved biome tinting
  • Biome tints are now enabled by default (turn it off to get the classic uNmINeD look)
  • Cartographic elevation gradient is now compatible with biome tinting
  • Biome tints are loaded from Java game folder mods (../../mods)
• Code cleaning
  • (GUI) Fixed memory leaks
  • (GUI) Viewmodel lifetime management fixes
  • (GUI) Updated Caliburn.Micro.Avalonia to the official package

Known issues:

• In some cases, there is still a significant memory leak after closing a world.

Breaking changes:

• Map settings related to biome tinting has changed. You may need to adjust your saved map settings created with earlier versions.

Rendering with textures and high resolution 3D shadow mapping:

New uNmINeD development snapshot is available for download!

Changes:

• (GUI) Added a cubiomes-based “seed map” layer (experimental)
• (GUI) Upgraded Avalonia to 11.0.0
• Moved to .NET 8.0-preview5
• Removed .NET version from downloaded package file names
• Minor fixes

The cubiomes seed map layer shows predicted biomes across the entire map, even in unexplored areas. At this time it is only available on Windows 64-bit. The seed map is NOT included in the web map or image export.

Changes:

• (GUI) Added transparency slider for barrier blocks
• Added customizable heightmap color gradients (see library/heightmaps and library/depthmaps)
• Fixed zoom-out tile rendering for far away areas in web export
• Added rgba(r,g,b,a) color parsing for transparent block colors (r=0..255, g=0..255, b=0..255, a=0.0..1.0)
• Minor fixes

Heightmap rendering mode:

Changes:

• (GUI) Added a main menu bar
• Added biome rendering mode (see config/custom.biomecolors.txt for customization)
• Added heightmap rendering mode (customization coming soon)
• Fixed rgb(r,g,b) color parsing
• Added hsl(h,s,l) color format, similar to HTML/CSS (hue=0..360, saturation=0..100, lightness=0..100)
• Minor fixes

Biome rendering mode uses well known colors from the Amidst and cubiomes seed mapping projects:
