## **General** ### **Performance:** - Raytraced explosions now support multi-threading (this is enabled by default, but can be disabled in the config) - To allow for further optimization on different devices, we have added some settings to the config for multi-threading - Even when not multi-threaded, raytraced explosions are still much faster now - Non-raytraced explosions are much faster now at the cost of omitting block updates (the threshold can be adjusted in the config) ### **Additions:** - You can now enable explosion profiling to benchmark explosions on your device (this is disabled by default, but can be enabled in the config) - Explosions can now display particles ### **Changes:** - The "Explosion Performance Factor" and the "Performant Explosion" config values are no longer used, but remain in place to allow for backwards compatability (they will be removed in future versions) ## **Developers** ### **ImprovedExplosion:** - All old block explosion methods have been deprecated in favor of the new one - Multi-threading cannot be enabled / disabled by the developer, only the user can decide whether to use it - To ensure additional work that should complete after an explosion has concluded is executed at the right time, Improved Explosions now support the option to supply a consumer that executes after an explosion finished (only necessary for explosions that run the risk of being multi-threaded, as blocking the main thread is not possible without a deadlock) - To support custom effects, Improved Explosions can optionally be given a BlockExplosionEffect, which will leave the finishing of the explosion to your provided effect (Try to use the new rule system where possible instead for the best performance) ### **ExplosionHelper:** - All old explosion methods have been depreacted in favor of the new ones - All explosions exist in a slow (performing block updates) and fast version - Additionally, a custom BlockExplosionEffect can be applied to all shapes (Try to use the new rule system where possible instead for the best performance) ### **Additions (Utility):** - LightUpdateHelper: Helper class for updating direct and indirect lights when using fast removal operations, which would otherwise not update light at all (They are called in Improved Explosions and the ExplosionHelper) - HeightmapUpdateHelper: Helper class for updating the height maps when using fast removal operations, which would otherwise not update them (They are called in Improved Explosions and the ExplosionHelper) - BiomeSetter: Similar to the ExplosionHelper, allowing for the modification of biomes in Cube, Sphere, and Cylinder shapes - ExplosionRule System: See below for full explanation ### **ExplosionRule System:** - ExplosionRules were introduced to allow the new fast explosion methods to have customizable results for every block they affect - ExplosionRules must be registered, as they will have to be synched to the client, making it crucial that their behavior on both logical sides is identical - Custom ExplosionRules can be created, but this mod already provides a large selection of ExplosionRules that can be used to filter blocks, provide block states for placement, or perform logical operations - ExplosionRules are purely local, as they can only edit one block at a time, making them not applicable in all situations
