• the end dimension persistent map can now show structures above y level 90
• regions created with invalid metadata (from before 1.8) will now load in the persistent map in 1.8
• setting worldmap max zoom to 32x remembered for next session (previously reset to 16x)

• fix for rare crash on initialization in the font renderer (NPE)
• slight reduction in memory and storage space for underground dimensions (10 percent-ish)

• fix for invalid coordinate values causing a crash in the new/edit waypoint screen ("done" button greys out as intended with invalid values)
• fix so the map doesn't stop updating when the player is above the build limit (1.8)

• can edit and delete world names for multiworld servers (instead of just choosing one or adding a new one)
• world map: right click works with touchscreens
• world map: underground transparent blocks and liquids don't become invisible if unlit - affected nether-like dimensions
• world map: remove spurious biome tinting for spruce and birch leaves (1.8)
• world map: fix for possible null pointer exception in world selection screen
• world map: mipmapping so zooming extra far out looks better
• radar: helmets with custom models not drawn too large
• radar: more than one icon for mobs from mods and more than one block-as-helmet icon can be created per tick (AMD/Intel), or can be made at all (nVidia) (1.8)

• fix for crash when clicking very right or very bottom of color selector
• fix for crash when running in 1.7.10 after running in 1.8 and having a zoom level unsupported by 1.7.10 (1.7)
• automatically detect multiworld server (without the user manually specifying that it is one, though that's still possible) when switching between two worlds with the same dimension
• multiworld button will flash when attention is needed (multiworld server with the current world as yet unrecognized)
• best effort fix for player icon on worldmap not reflecting player's skin occasionally on first open, or showing as a white square for some players
• more consistent at showing newly explored areas on next opening of the worldmap
• don't save bad data (fix possible corruption of saved map region data)
• possible fix for padding error on in game waypoint text display (1.7)

• show server name instead of address on world map screen (fix for streamers)
• don't freak out when player presses map key while holding a movement key (that would formerly attempt to display an area very far away that was most likely blank, and possibly crash)

• old north setting now applies to world map as well
• old north setting remembered per world, defaults to off (for all those old pre-beta worlds before notch changed the direction of the sun. Set it once for them and it will be remembered)
• partial fix for switching into cavemode when riding a minecart on a slope (1.8). You can sometimes see the sky dim near the horizon when you are riding a cart. This is because Minecraft thinks you are underground; it's a Minecraft bug

• correctly display blocks worn on head when the blocks use a custom .json model (1.8) - see http://chattypics.com/files/blockModelsOnHead_iyt35w8cqx.jpg
• greatly reduce the chance of a ConcurrentModificationError when encountering a resource pack that has a badly formed .mcmeta file for a texture, ie successfully fail and don't keep trying (1.8)
• fix so worldmap is able to determine correct multiworld when first re-joining a server (1.7)

• improved multiworld support. VoxelMap now automatically recognizes previously visited (and labeled) worlds, as long as they haven't changed too much. If the user has stated that a server is multiworld, and a world is not recognized (either the first visit, or it has changed a lot) a message in chat will state that it is an unknown world, and remind the player to manually select the world in the multiworld screen

• manually select which world you are in on multiworld servers that don't communicate with the client via world_info/journeymapServer/voxelPlayer plugins. Credit to cubic72 for the selection screen
• configurable zoom levels. zoom out 4 times as far as before, if your memory can handle it
• configurable in memory region cache size. again, if memory can handle it, increasing the size of the cache makes regions less likely to unload (to reload later) as you pan around
• now cache map data on disk for singleplayer worlds too instead of creating from scratch every time from the anvil files (mostly because loading from the voxelmap disk cache is twice as fast)
• fix for crash when opening the worldmap with coloredLights mod installed

• performance improvement: empty regions do not count towards the region pool size. Loading an empty region will never cause a non-empty region to unload (saving having to possibly re-load it later). Empty regions also use no memory now
• teleport in Nether works much better. Tp will go to the surface the world map knows about. If no surface at that X/Z, will check above and below to find one (everywhere for SP, loaded chunks for MP). If none found, TP not allowed so you don't end up inside a wall
• player icons reflect whether the player has his hat layer turned off
• waypoint icons in icon selector sorted alphabetically

• loaded regions use much less memory, which means, for the same usage, you can now
• zoom out twice as far on the world map
• world map loads much faster. If you scroll faster than it can load, it skips to your current location instead of making you wait for everything to catch up. Regions that have gone off the screen before they could render because you scrolled so fast are now removed from the queue
• keyboard controls for the world map. up/right/left/down to pan, crouch/jump to zoom in/out. hold sprint key to pan faster
• bugfix for zombie villager and spider jockey helmets rendering too large

• add support for CustomNPCs mod
• player icon on worldmap now works when radar is turned off
• small scale skull icon fixed
• keep openGL stack consistent when attempt to automatically create an icon for an unknown mob type fails

• add support for Colored Lights mod
• custom mob icons can be created with a text .properties file, allowing them to use the current resource pack (and saving space over .png custom icons)
• fix for teleport to waypoint sometimes trying to teleport to the coordinates of a waypoint in a different dimension

• fixes for compatibility with shaders mod (roundmap stenciling, blurred text on worldmap UI)
• more consistent getting the name from multiverse servers with the requisite plugins

• zooming in world map much more consistent with low framerates
• handle resource packs included with saves
• handle launchers that connect the client directly to a server
• handle resource pack waypoint icons with different sizes
• waypoints created with a now missing image will show as the default instead of not at all

• lot of CTM and custom color map fixes, which improve support for some complex resource packs that rely on MCPatcher or Optifine

• configurable waypoint icons. Add your own! Either put in the .litemod file with the rest, or create a resource pack with new icons like /assets/voxelmap/images/waypoints/waypointNAME.png
• Internally, using sprite sheets now instead of individual small images. The speed boost is actually rather minimal but it is there, particularly on busy servers with a ton of players and their names being rendered.
• Also persistent map backported to 1.7.10

You can manually install it with Forge by placing the downloaded file into your mods folder - just like you would do to install any other Forge mod.

LiteLoader is the same as Forge except you must place it into a versioned mods folder.
(e.g. .minecraft/mods/1.8.1/XRay.jar).

Navigate to .technic\modpacks\[modpack name]\mods where [modpack name] is the name of the modpack you want to install XRay into, and place the downloaded file into this folder just as you would do a Forge mod.

Place the downloaded file into ATLauncher\Instances\[instance name]\mods where [instance name] is the name of the instance you want to install XRay into.

If you run into a compatibility issue with something, let me know so I can find a way to make it work!

It is very simple: I am not responsible with what you do with my mod.

You may distribute my mod with the original links, and only the original links, on any website or forum you wish. You may not download and then re-upload my mod to any site without my written permission. If you feature my mod in a video, you must include a link back to this page.

If you're going to link to my mod from somewhere, I would really prefer it if you linked to this post rather than directly to the download. This way the user can download an updated version and read about the mod a little bit.
