-
-0.2.1:
-Fixes
- - Potential fix for many issues caused by optimized chunk accesses
+0.3.0:
+Update to 1.17
 New
- - Added config+command to disable chunk access optimization
-
-0.2.0:
-New
- - Flywheel driven shulker box rendering
- - Optimize chunk accesses by caching previous result

-Fixes
- - Fix issue causing modded banner patterns to all have missing textures
 Technical/API
- - Reorganize, simplify, and document everything in the MaterialManager tree
- - MaterialManagers associate RenderStates with MaterialGroups

- - Add helper for getting information about texture atlases
- - Add more debug information for shader loading
- - Delete shaders after they're linked to programs

-0.1.0:
-Fixes
- - Render layer events are always dispatched, even when the backend is disabled
