x rotations without uvlock already sampled the model-space element like
vanilla (lying logs/pillars, vertical observers/dispensers verified against
FaceBakery for every blockstate variant). The remaining divergence was
uvlock: faces kept model-extent UVs and were sampled in world orientation,
so top stairs, ceiling buttons, fences/walls and ceiling vines showed
shifted or rotated textures. Rotated uvlocked elements now also go through
the model-space path, with each face's final UVs mapped by vanilla's
BlockMath face transformation (inverted, as in FaceBakery).
Zero-thickness elements (vine, lichen) always reported their low face;
pick the face turned towards the ray instead.
Edge-case test plugin: xrot/xrot2 scenes (lying pillars, vertical
observers/dispensers/droppers, top stairs, ceiling buttons).
- face UV orientation now follows vanilla BlockElement.uvsByFace: north/
east/down faces were sampled mirrored. Default UVs adjusted to match.
Block and entity faces share one mapping (ElementIntersector.faceUv),
so the separate blockUv mode of the entity intersector is gone.
- x/y blockstate rotations without uvlock: elements keep their model-space
copy and are intersected with the inverse-rotated ray, so textures turn
with the model exactly like vanilla (pistons facing down showed their
side textures in different directions per face). Replaces the earlier
up/down-only UV rotation. Display entities use the same model-space path.
Edge-case test plugin: piston/observer/dispenser scenes.
Since 26.x a model texture can be an object {"sprite": ..., "force_translucent": ...}
instead of a string. The block-model DTO only accepted strings, so those
models failed to load and rendered as the grey fallback cube: redstone
wire and every glass block and pane (110 models). Accept both forms in
ModelResolver (shared with ItemGeometry).
Edge-case test plugin: redstone/glass scene.
Blockstate "y" rotations turned the geometry counter-clockwise while the
faces were re-assigned clockwise (vanilla). Every east/west variant of an
asymmetric block ended up mirrored on the wrong side of its cell: shelf
mushrooms and ladders floated away from their support, stairs faced
backwards. Rotate clockwise like vanilla, adjust element-rotation axes,
and turn up/down face textures with the model unless uvlock is set.
Edge-case test plugin: shelf mushroom (side + top view) and rotated-block
scenes.
- dump entity models straight from the unobfuscated client jar
(tools/VanillaModelDump.java, tools/update-vanilla-models.sh): models posed
by vanilla setupAnim, baby/variant/layer models, renderer transforms,
default textures, pose variants (sitting, holding items, illager arms)
and all layer definitions; the old CEM template is only a fallback now
- fix adult zombies captured as babies, zero-thickness planes (wings,
fins) and back faces in the entity intersector
- held items, head items (pumpkins, skulls), shields, elytra, saddles and
body equipment for every mount, armor following the pose
- block/item/text display entities, dropped items, falling blocks, primed
TNT, minecart contents, block entities inside displays, leash ropes
- item models resolved from the 26.x item definitions with display
transforms; generated items extruded like vanilla
- bundle the vanilla font definitions as fallback so sign/text rendering
works with packs that lack font/*.json
- one failing entity no longer aborts the whole photo
- edge-case test plugin (tools/edgecase-plugin) and offline harnesses
