Neat rendering tricks with an API.

Mirage is a library and coremod containing some neat rendering tricks for use in any mod. It started life as an update of Elucent's Albedo to 1.12 (best known for the lighting effects in Embers), and is slowly becoming a more complete render tweaks library.

The library was renamed from Albedo to Mirage to avoid naming conflicts after Elucent picked Albedo back up. Mirage's API is intentionally incompatible with Albedo as a result.

First off, add the Elytra Maven to your build.gradle:

repositories {
	maven {
		url = 'https://repo.elytradev.com/'
	}
}

Then, add this to your dependencies block:

compile 'com.elytradev:mirage:2.0.3-rc3-SNAPSHOT'

Switch to the 1.11.2 branch for 1.11.2 instructions, which are for Albedo post-fork instead of Mirage. You may also want to try just using Albedo pre-fork.

Note: If you get a 'peer not authenticated' error, you need to update Gradle. Older versions of Gradle include a broken Apache HttpClient that doesn't support our HTTPS certificate.

Finally, you can do something similar to this for any TileEntity:

import net.minecraftforge.fml.common.Optional;

@Optional.Interface(iface="com.elytradev.mirage.lighting.ILightEventConsumer", modid="mirage")
public class MyTileEntity extends TileEntity implements ILightEventConsumer {
	
	@Optional.Method(modid="mirage")
	@Override
	public void gatherLights(GatherLightsEvent evt) {
		evt.add( Light.builder()
				.pos(/* ... */)
				.color(1, 1, 1)
				.radius(2)
				.build());
	}
	
}

Or this for any Item or Entity:

import net.minecraftforge.fml.common.Optional;

@Optional.Interface(iface="com.elytradev.mirage.lighting.IEntityLightEventConsumer", modid="mirage")
public class MyItem extends Item implements IEntityLightEventConsumer {
	
	@Optional.Method(modid="mirage")
	@Override
	public void gatherLights(GatherLightsEvent evt, Entity e) {
		evt.add( Light.builder()
				.pos(/* ... */)
				.color(1, 1, 1)
				.radius(2)
				.build());
	}
	
}

The @Optionals let people use your mod without needing to install Mirage. Your mod will take advantage of Mirage when possible.

If you need more control, listen for the GatherLightsEvent and add your own Light object.
