Changelog

Added

• Contour Outline System — new screen.CONTOUR_OUTLINE_SETTINGS submenu under Other with full entity/item outline controls
  • OUTLINE_ENTITIES — toggle dark edge outline on mobs, players, and dropped items
  • OUTLINE_HAND_ITEMS — toggle outline on held items in first-person view
  • OUTLINE_NEAR_PX — outline thickness in pixels at close range
  • OUTLINE_NEAR_DIST — distance in blocks at which outline is at full thickness; fades beyond that
  • OUTLINE_DARKNESS — blend between pure black outline (0.0) and entity texture color (1.0)
• ✨ Outline Mode (OUTLINE_✨) — optional extra color mode that makes the outline cycle through ✨ colors
  • OUTLINE_✨_CYCLE — toggle animated vs fixed ✨ color
  • OUTLINE_✨_HUE — fixed hue used when animation is off (0.00 Red → 0.17 Yellow → 0.33 Green → 0.50 Cyan → 0.67 Blue → 0.83 Magenta)
  • OUTLINE_✨_SPEED — animation cycle speed when OUTLINE_✨_CYCLE is on
• en_US.lang entries for all new Contour Outline options and screen

Fixed

• Fixed 2-column UI layout gap in CONTOUR_OUTLINE_SETTINGS screen — OUTLINE_DARKNESS and OUTLINE_✨ now share a row correctly instead of OUTLINE_✨ being orphaned to its own row due to a double <empty> token pair between them

Contour Shaders v1.0.1

A bug-fix release on top of v1.0.

What's fixed

Outlines on overlapping entities now render correctly. Previously, when two mobs overlapped on screen — or when your hand overlapped a mob — the outline would disappear at the intersection. This happened because the edge-detection pass skipped any pixel that belonged to an entity, so mob-on-mob overlap zones were silently ignored.

The outline pass now runs on every pixel. Background pixels use a lenient depth threshold to handle coplanar surfaces like feet on the ground. Entity pixels use a view-space depth comparison converted to real in-game metres, requiring a neighbour to be at least 0.4 blocks closer before drawing — this distinguishes a separate mob in front from natural surface curvature on the same mob, preventing interior self-outlining while keeping all overlap cases correct.

Known issue (carried forward, not introduced in this release)

Outlines may disappear when you are very close to a mob. This is a remaining depth precision limitation and will be addressed in a future update!
