Sable Compat Issues

[benjaminiserman]

When running this mod with Sable / Create Aeronautics in multiplayer I notice other players inconsistently disappear / reappear while riding on a ship together. Disabling the Entity Culling mod seems to have resolved the issue (though with 50% less framerate now... RIP, great work on this mod!). Would it be possible to disable entity culling for entities on Sable sublevels?

If they dont have correct culling boxes like some other create blocks, you need to add them to the skip lists via the config screen.

[benjaminiserman]

I don't think sublevels are entities, but rather chunks from the plotyard being rendered over the regular Minecraft terrain.

[benjaminiserman]

Though I suppose I could add minecraft:player to the skip list for now as a temporary solution, though that would still have issues with other entities on airships. I've noticed this when I was transporting a sheep, for example.

Ah wait, players vanish? God knows what render hacks are used to get the flying machines working, will have to look into it, maybe make some compatebility mod or so.

[benjaminiserman]

Yeah they're definitely using a ton of crazy render hacks to get non-axially-aligned chunks. Thanks for looking into this ❤️

If you can't repro let me know and I can try to find if it's a three-way mod interaction—I'm running a pretty big SMP modpack.

[tr7zw]

Probably the fix is to just exclude entities that interact with the "create worldspace" and therefor have wonky positioning.

[benjaminiserman]

Yeah I think the fix is probably to exclude any entities currently on a Sable sublevel. Could potentially try to run separate path-tracing passes specifically for sublevels (e.g.: could be nice for some peoples' massive flying city airships), but personally I'd be happy just to have the former.

I'm also happy to help test a pre-release—I have a good environment for reproducing this issue.

If anyone is interested, StormDragon-64/Create-Plus#97, which appears to be the same issue, has a video of it occurring. I was able to reproduce the same issue with just Create Aeronautics, Sable, Create, Sodium, and Entity Culling. Removing Entity Culling resolves the issue.
Also of note is that block entities are not affected by this bug, at least in my testing.
