Resource Pack Version 93.0

Shaders & Post-process Effects

Order-independent Transparency (OIT)-related Shader Changes

• The B3D_IS_ZERO_TO_ONE define has been renamed to RENDERPEARL_IS_ZERO_TO_ONE
  

Shader Compilation Changes

• Shaders are now compiled by ShaderC when using OpenGL as well, identically to when using Vulkan
  
• Shader includes are now handled by ShaderC using #include instead of #moj_import
  
• Shader inputs and outputs must have a location specified in shader sourceVertex input names must still match expected names.Vertex outputs are matched to fragment inputs solely by location, name is now ignored.
  
• Introduced new define RENDERPEARL_INSTANCE_INDEX_INCLUDES_BASE_INSTANCE - A boolean indicating if gl_InstanceIndex follows Vulkan or OpenGL (gl_InstanceID) semantics
  

Developer's Note: Vertex inputs in previous versions using OpenGL were not allowed to specify a location. Compatability can be preserved by only specifying locations when the "VULKAN" macro is defined.

Developer's Note: Vertex outputs and fragment inputs in previous versions were matched based on name alone. Compatability can be preserved by continuing to use identical names.
