Hello everyone! Apologies for the delay, but we are back again.
Naza introduced a while back transitions for the Wither Storm's hunchback models as it grew, making the mass look like its being built after each block it consumed. I've been touching it up and as a test I got this screenshot, so that's fun...
We have been discussing how transitions may work for the higher phases, as it isn't as straightforward as it is with the hunchbacks. Transitioning with the model cubes won't work since the models are hallow. Instead we were thinking of a rather short dither fade that reveals the next model. It would make them less abrupt, although not as cool as having the Wither Storm being built.
I am nearly done with the model transitions and will be looking at the Wither Storm dimensional teleporter (yes this exists for those that don't know, though it is disabled by default). After that I will be bringing in Naza's latest changes and releasing the BETA.
There is a 1.21.1 version ready, but I will need to port my changes over to it, which may take some time. I am thinking I will post the 1.20.1 BETA, and then perhaps a week later when I have the 1.21.1 version up to date with my stuff, I can release that here as well.
Not a solid ETA yet, but early June I would suspect the 1.20.1 version to be ready.
Thanks everyone!
