Improper Biome colors on Voxy 1.21.1 when using custom biome mods

[IanuReeves]

Mod Name

Voxy 1.21.1 fabric

Mod Homepage

https://github.com/m3t4f1v3/voxy/tree/mc_1211

Minecraft version

1.21.1

Describe the bug

Using Big Globe and Voxy with Sinytra Connector (beta 12) causes incorrect biome colors in the LODs, resulting in jagged color transitions.

Steps to reproduce

1. Install Prerequisites

Install the following mods (^ means fabric mod):

• voxy 0.2.14-alpha (built from https://github.com/m3t4f1v3/voxy/tree/mc_1211) ^
• sodium 0.6.13-snapshot (built from https://github.com/CaffeineMC/sodium/tree/1.21.1/stable)
• iris 1.8.12-snapshot (https://modrinth.com/mod/iris/version/1.8.12+1.21.1-neoforge) ^
• Big globe 5.3.1 (https://modrinth.com/mod/big-globe/version/bhphnJuQ)
• Sinytra connector and it's dependencies

2. Enable a voxy-compatible shader

Before going into a world, go into | options > video settings > shader packs |, and enable a voxy-compatible shader. I use Photon v1.3b available in modrinth, however I believe Solas and Noble are fine alternatives.

3. Load into a world

Generate some LODs. You may notice incorrect color transitions.

4. OPTIONAL: Install Resourcepacks

This is most noticeable with a resource pack. I first noticed this issue with Reimagined (https://modrinth.com/resourcepack/reimagined/version/v1.62.2), however I believe this works for any resource pack that changes biome colors
...

I have attached images to see the issue. One without a resource pack, and one with.

It is seen that both images show invalid color transitions or biome colors compared to the non-lods

Additional context

Currently running Neoforge 21.1.227 on MC 1.21.1. I used some initial mods for the resource pack I used

• Entity Texture Features
• Entity Model Features
• Continuity
• Polytone

Also, it's worth noting that due to a current issue with Connecter and Big Globe (Builderb0y/BigGlobe#88), I'm currently using beta 12 and not 14.

Edit: This seems to extend past Big Globe, affecting other terrain mods like lithosphere and biome-modifying mods. Had similar discoloration with the still life mod.

If you would find this helpful, currently i'm porting voxy to neoforge and now it works almost fine (few visual glitches on chunk/LOD border but not so noticable) with Bliss shaders. This work is in progress, but i can provide patched version of Voxy for you to have at least temporary native experience in 1.21.1 neoforge

[IanuReeves]

That would be very helpful. Thank you!

On a related note, this issue extends to most mods that add/modify biomes, so I may change the title a bit to reflect this.

You can share it via public or unlisted repo with the source code for me to compile.

Voxy is open source, but I believe compiled jars cannot be shared in good faith, so this would be my preference.

totally agree with you. I was to lazy to create a fork. I will attach link here when i create repo

UPD: https://github.com/Cyber-Sammy/voxy
There is also unstable Bliss shaders build which works fine with my port of voxy

I'm still getting the same issue unfortunately. Even with the unstable bliss shaders and your build of voxy it still does what is shown in the images above when using Big Globe. Also, in the big globe mixin file in the config folder, if you set

builderb0y.bigglobe.mixins.Biome_DontFreezeRiverWater=false

Big Globe will work with the newest beta 14 version of connector. This still doesn't fix the biome color issue though.

can you contact me on discord (cyber_sammy)? it will be more convenient way to communicate i guess
