0.10.0-alpha.5

The fifth alpha — published to be reported against. Nothing here has been checked in-game yet.

• No more pale shadow beside tall grass and blocks: grass and single blocks were counted as a roof by the cloud-shadow pass, and the occlusion blur spread across the edges of objects.
• Calmer water: no shadow grain on the surface, filtered refraction, waves fade out in the distance instead of sparkling, reflections that no longer flicker, softer shorelines.
• Traced shadows now sit under what casts them:
  • faces are turned toward the eye, not the feet;
  • shadows no longer come away from their objects at a low sun;
  • north- and south-facing walls now receive shadows;
  • things just off screen still cast shadows;
  • grass no longer casts square shadows;
  • mob shadows no longer lag behind them;
  • cloud shadows are in the right place.
• Android (PojavLauncher and its forks): the Vulkan part stays off and the game runs normally, with the vanilla render distance limit.
• Dozens of fixes found by reading the code, plus comments that now match it.
