Added

• added more code to support EMF
• added a new logo
• added support for random & emissive painting textures
• added support for emissive armor trims the same format as OptiFine (note this seems to break if iris and 3d skin layers are both installed, no idea why, it also fixes itself if a mob in the background is wearing the same trim, I'm tired of pulling my hair out about this so this is just how it will be for now)
• added support for armor trim overrides (e.g. the texture "textures\trims\models\armor\coast_redstone.png" will override the autogenerated trim if present)
• added support for end crystal random and emissive textures
• added an option to enable extra warden textures like the heart to apply to the entire model
• textures ending with numbers now use the separator "." like OptiFine for variants (e.g "mob4.png" now variates with "mob4.2.png")
• Animatica textures are now detected and prevent certain ETF actions that could break these textures (MoreMcmeta was already supported)
• added new ETF skin feature to allow/prevent transparency for your skin specifically, plus general improvements to skin transparency handling.
• added new ETF skin feature variant of the villager nose setting that can use a custom texture set in the skin, instead of the default villager.

Changed

• updated the minecraftcapes.net api url when used in skin features
• improved the handling of "_eyes" textures
• tweaked the skin tool failure dialogue to be more informative and helpful
• tweaked warning messages and added some
• tweaked the resource-pack screen etf button

Fixed

• fixed biome property breaking when using "CamelCase" instead of "snake_case"
• fixed size property being off by 1 when compared to OptiFine
• fixed name property not working for players usernames
• fixed custom ETF cape textures not working with physics mod capes
• fixed 3D skin layers mod emissive body pixels with skin features
• tweaked some en_us translations
• fixed 2 forge crashes
• fixed pattern & ipattern to correctly match the OptiFine behaviour

it is subject to further changes pending actual OptiFine feature documentation.

there are also some fixes for several issues as well as an update to the ETF API to allows other mods to utilise ETFs OptiFine random property file parsing, which will be used in my wip CEM mod.

  work) this is specifically added for certain mods that have their mob textures named like "mob2.png" that are detected
  as random mobs by etf

Changelog

Added:

• added Minecart, Boat, Evoker Fang, and Llama carpet texture support
• added an option 'enabled by default' to set ETF to not tamper with any textures that have PBR textures attached, to
  preserve PBR functionality, only if shader mods are present
• added an option 'enabled by default' to set ETF to not tamper with any textures that has moremcmeta mod animations,
  to preserve animation functionality, only if moremcmeta is present

Changed:

• changed handling of block entity features, should clear up several issues and be very stable compared to before
• skin features rework:
  1. should now be compatible with most skin changer mods e.g. diguise-heads, impersonate, or fabric tailor
  2. much faster implementation
  3. updates the clients skin in game after uploading, so you don't need to restart (doesn't update other players,
     that still requires a restart)
• changed the [Allow broken texture paths] setting, it can now be set to off|entities only|all resources, all
  resources is not recommended
• made a few large source code refactors, no functionality change

Fixed:

• fixed Tinkers construct crash
• fixed 3D skin layers mod compatibility with ETF skin features
• fixed skin changing mod compatibility (e.g. disguise-heads, impersonate, fabric tailor)
• fixed updatable properties for additional mob textures, like sheep_fur.png and villager types, not updating if the
  base texture doesn't
• fixed tooltip lines ignoring line breaks in 1.19.3
• fixed an issue with the [Allow broken texture paths] setting preventing resource packs with broken paths from loading
  correctly in 1.19.3
• fixed an issue with chest emissive textures

ETF Version 4.2

Update summary:

ETF v4.2 has added many additional non OptiFine texture properties to further vary textures with, as well as adding properties
that can vary the way the entity itself is rendered, such as brightness level, ambient particles and translucent rendering.

4.2 also includes many bug fixes and suggestions that have popped up since I left on holidays.
I hope you enjoy :), and thank you for over 2 million downloads!!!

Changelog

Added:

• added texture property angry, used like other OptiFine properties, can be true|false. works only for Endermen, Blazes, Guardians, Vindicators and Evokers. Triggers when these mobs display their client side 'angered or attacking state' (open mouth for endermen & blazes igniting)
• added texture property moving, used like other OptiFine properties, can be true|false to vary texture based on whether a mob is moving or not.
• added texture property items, used like other OptiFine properties, can be either:
  1. none(true if mob is holding or wearing no items)
  2. any(true if mob is holding or wearing any items)
  3. holding(true if mob is holding any items)
  4. wearing(true if mob is wearing any items)
  5. a list of item names like minecraft:book or cool_mod:sunglasses, separated by spaces.
• added a new property type "Entity Property" to tweak entity rendering within the .properties file, they are not numbered like the other OptiFine properties e.g skins.1
• added entity property vanillaBrightnessOverride: can be set as a number from 0-15, this overrides the brightness of the mob, it can be used to reduce the brightness of mobs like Blazes and Allays, or increase the brightness of others.
• added entity property suppressParticles: if set to true will remove ambient particles from mobs (currently only Blazes and Glow Squids)
• added entity property showHiddenModelParts: if set to true will enable the rendering of model parts normally hidden in vanilla (currently only zombie piglin right ears)
• added entity property entityRenderLayerOverride, shader compatibility will vary, the possible values for this property are:
  1. translucent (allows partial transparency in entity rendering)
  2. translucent_cull (allows partial transparency in entity rendering & culls model faces)
  3. end_portal (looks like the end portal effect, added for fun cause it works)
  4. outline (renders the entities outline through walls)
• extended shader support code to include the Iris forge port Oculus, this should improve z-fighting and support the new compatible emissive render mode.
• added Compatible emissive rendering mode. This mode uses the Bright emissive rendering mode normally and automatically changes to, the more shader compatible, Default / Dull emissive rendering mode when shaders are enabled. To have the best of both worlds.
• added compatibility warning to disable skin features with the impersonate mod present
• added emissive and random texture support to saddles (supports pigs, horse-mobs and striders)
• added further support for some older OptiFine format biome names using PascalCase to be auto converted to the modern snake_case biome names (e.g. MushroomFields becomes the correct mushroom_fields automatically)

changed:

• updates russian translations thanks to @Felix14-v2
• improved block entity code, this should improve compat with armor stand affecting mods (like quark) as armor stands are no longer used as a substitute entity
• tweaked button scaling to center themselves in larger gui scales
• tweaked some gui button positions
• removed compatibility warning that disabled block entity features with the quark mod present, issue has been fixed.

fixed:

several additions listed above fix several issues however some more minor fixes include:

• fixed quark incompatibility with ETF block entity features
• fixed ETF settings button appearing on data pack selection screen
• fixed additional textures (e.g. sheep fur or villager types) having their variant overridden by the mobs base texture even if they have their own .properties file
• fixed compatibility with the disguised heads mod and skins with etf features not changing (skin features will not display on disguised players :/)
• fixed player skin enchanted visuals being brighter than vanilla
• fixed keyboard navigation in the ETF settings gui (currently just ESC key to go back)
