What's Changed

• New features
  • Implemented CommonMCOBJ Support by @StandingPadAnimations in #555 and #548 (...and more)
    • Right now, this is not used for much, but in the future, it will allow for many things previously impossible, such as chunk alignment and biome colors
    • A compatible exporter is needed to take advantage of CommonMCOBJ support; Mineways v11.07+ and jmc2OBJ 124+ both support CommonMCOBJ V1. Also see the full list of exporters supporting CommonMCOBJ
  • EEVEE Next in Blender 4.2 by @StandingPadAnimations in #586
  • First steps towards multi-lingual support, big thanks to @StandingPadAnimations.
    • To activate, simply change the active Blender language in user preferences. More contributions are welcome! See how to contribute your language here, every little bit helps; our goal is to make it so one day, no one will be confused by MCprep's UI simply due to a language barrier

  • Removed MCprep Cycles optimizer by @StandingPadAnimations in #543
    • The MCprep Cycles optimizer (deprecated in MCprep 3.5.2) was full of code designed for an older era of Cycles (pre-3.0), and also had many hard to fix bugs. Thus, it was decided to remove the MCprep Cycles optimizer. See #541 for the full rationale
