[Feature request] Block ESP & Tracers

[sebcioxd]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. The only thing that is missing from this mod is block ESP with tracers, for example when im looking for sugar cane i can easily trace it.

Describe the solution you'd like Adding block ESP & tracers

Describe alternatives you've considered I've tried other popular clients that had the block esp and it was great. But i just prefer more lightweight clients like this one.

Additional context Same feature can be found in popular clients.

This is a really cool idea! I'll see if I can do something. I don't imagine it would be difficult to implement on my end, so I'll start drafting up ideas soon. Thanks for the suggestion!

[GT3CH1]

Do you also have an example of a client that has a feature like this implemented? I'm curious to see how others have done it. Thanks!

[sebcioxd]

Meteor has it and for me worked the best.

Hey, I have an update on this - I have a very minimal working version at the moment that doesn't hinder performance. See the picture below! I plan on adding a menu to configure the tracer/esp color and a block selection list, similar to how I have the xray menu sat up (hopefully this isn't awful to do).

I believe I have finished implementing this - A download is available here: https://github.com/gavinsmod/gavinsextensiblemod/releases/tag/v1.4.8-rc1. Make sure you download the non-sources jar. This is available for MC 1.21.1 - Please let me know if you find anything weird! If I don't hear back about any feedback/issues in a few days I will go ahead and close this issue and merge it into the main branch. Thanks!

Tested it and works fairly well! I would only add one thing - that you can see the block esp behind walls. other than that it works perfectly fine. Also would love to see a backport to 1.20.4 with this feature! 👌 Kudos!

I've noticed that as well - I believe it's something to do with iris/sodium/lithium modifying something with how the ESPs are rendered - are you using any of these mods?

Yes, im using sodium and lithium.

[GT3CH1]

I've traced the issue down to how sodium manipulates the rendering in Minecraft, I'm unsure if lithium does something similar - however uninstalling sodium definitely fixes the ESPs. At this point I'm not super confident that a solution will be available in the short-term. I'll continue to look around to see if I can find something though.

Well my previous comment was short lived - I have found the issue with my render system. I have written a fix for it and I am migrating all of my ESP/tracers to the new pipeline.

[GT3CH1]

Good news, I believe that I have finished working on all the ESP/Tracers to use the new pipeline. I was able to confirm functionality with mods like sodium and iris. I've attached a pic for proof. In this example, I am using sodium and iris with sildurs shaders.

Please download the file gavinsmod-1.4.8rc2+1.21.1.jar from the pre-release found here: https://github.com/gavinsmod/gavinsextensiblemod/releases/tag/v1.4.8-rc2

Let me know if you find anything weird that needs improving!

[sebcioxd]

Everything seems fine! Thank you for implementing this
