Continuity causes X-Ray like issue when grass and a snow layer spawn in the same block

[MrElectrum]

So I've been creating a custom modpack that changes world generation, among other things, and I noticed that when grass spawns on a block with a snow layer it causes an X-Ray like visual bug.

With Continuity: Without Continuity:

Which resource packs and mods are you using?

[MrElectrum]

Here's the modlist (don't mind the little explanations, they're just for people joining the server and stuff) I've been testing removing some of the optimization-based mods, but it only seems to be a problem when Continuity is installed.

And here's the resource packs. I tried toggling them all on and off, but it doesn't seem to affect anything.

Are the grass and snow in the same block position? If so, what mod adds that functionality and does this issue occur if only that mod, Fabric API, and Continuity are present?

[MrElectrum]

The grass and snow are in the same spot. I tested the mod (wilder wilds) along with fabric API and continuity and the visual bug doesn't seem to happen. After adding sodium the bug still doesn't happen. After adding indium the bug still doesn't happen.

I'm going to slowly start adding parts of my modpack and see which one is causing issues

[MrElectrum]

So this might have been my fault. It turns out I got some folders mixed around, and had accidentally put an older version of continuity into my mods folder. It seems that on the latest version this bug is fixed. Sorry about that.

[MrElectrum]

Wait no. It seems it's something with the "Emissive textures" setting.

[MrElectrum]

When turned off the bug is not present, but when turned on I can see through the snow

[MrElectrum]

It also seems to be affected by the other config settings

[vico93]

I'm have the same issue (disabling connected textures seems to fix the problem). If Pepper have interest, i can zip my modpack (and world) for better testing

[PepperCode1]

I looked through Wilder Wild's code. They mixin to the vanilla block renderer, the Indigo terrain renderer, and the Sodium terrain renderer to render the snow layer model before the main block model, but they do not have Indium compatibility. If Indium is installed and any resource pack that uses Continuity's features is enabled, then all snowlogging rendering will be broken. Report this to Wilder Wild; I cannot fix this.

[vico93]

@PepperCode1 FYI i forwarded this issue to FrozenBlock (WW authors) Discord - they said they are aware of the issue.

Hey! Lead dev of Wilder Wild here. How would I go about fixing this with Indium? Another mixin, or does it have an API?

[PepperCode1]

Basically copy the mixin for Indigo and apply it to Indium's version of the same class. Alternatively, consider reworking how snowlogging works so that the models associated with snowlogged states proxy to the snow layer model and block model. That way you will not need any mixins to vanilla, Sodium, Indigo, or Indium.

How exactly would i do that? With vegetation, they’re randomly offset so adding snowlogged models to the json won’t work.

[PepperCode1]

I forgot about that. A mixin to Indium would be the easiest solution then.

Ah, got it. I’ll take a look into the mixin soon. Thank you very much!!!
