Entity rendering

So, entity rendering is quite a big thing. There are several things that need to be considered

• Getting the models (e.g. https://github.com/JannisX11/blockbench/blob/ed9cec5747eac26d99f24e5fea09d7c19c13dd71/js/io/formats/skin.js, maybe extracting them in pixlyzer)

• Improving the overall system

  • make models safe (e.g. wrapper class with all parts)
  • restructuring code
  • Performance improvements

• Model extensions

  • Armor (also elytra)
  • Name rendering
  • stuck arrows
  • cape
  • shoulder entities (parrots)
  • trident
  • ...

• Poses

  • shooting
  • eating
  • sneaking
  • flying
  • crossbow
  • swimming
  • spyglass

• Animators

• side lighting for block entities

  • put another flag bit (side lighting), rotate normal and put all 6 light values in the uniform
  • or maybe use the normal to detect what light value to use?

• heavy z fighting on skin and player when further away from camera

• chest type determinant by neighbour blocks

• sign (text and model) is 90° rotated wrong

• support legacy skins (<1.7): arms and legs are the same on both sides; only hat has an overlay

  • check if resolution is 64x32 and then copy part (pixel by pixel): flip correctly

• do a lot of caching (matrices, billboard, name, text, ...)

  • hitbox: cache mesh data and reuse it?

• performance: transform block entities async and draw at the same time

  • • hypixel lobby: "xx playing npc" text way too dark (also on greev.eu; light level taken from somewhere wrong)

Player model

• item holding
• arm swinging (also shakes body)
• body only rotated if head is off specific angle
• body always points in ~ velocity direction
• poses

Player

• arm
• cape
• stuck arrows/stingers
• armor (elytra, armor, head items)
• shoulder entities (parrots)
• trident
• shadow

Other entities

• pig (piglet)
  • leash
• cow (calf)
• chicken
• sheep

Easter eggs

• jeb_: colored sheep
• deadmanu5: ears
• pig: Technoblade: crown
