For one, we have already switched to RGBA some time ago, so the name was
technically incorrect already.
But the main reason is that we'll want to use them for depth maps as well (and
potentially maybe even for HDR images if that's possible with canvas?).
This intentionally breaks the mixin in a development environment but makes the
compiled jar work in a live environment (which is probably more useful given the
primary version is 1.15 now).
The new preprocessor version brings first-party support for fabric, in
particular for automatically fetching mappings loom and for
automatically remapping between MC versions via intermediary mappings.
This will come in handy when updating to 1.15.
It also supports automatic remapping between fabric and forge on the
same MC version (by going mcp<->srg<->mojang<->intermediary<->yarn).
Therefore this commit replaces the previous 1.13.2 (forge) subproject
with a 1.14.4-forge one. Instead of manually providing full mappings for
1.14.4-fabric to 1.13.2-forge and partial (classes) for 1.13.2-forge to
1.12.2-forge, we now only need partial (classes) for 1.12.2-forge to
1.14.4-forge and preprocessor will take care of the forge to fabric
step (in fact, our mapping file for that is currently completely empty).
In an attempt to write an IDE (IntelliJ) plugin for quicker and easier
working with the preprocessor (e.g. immediately mapping single files
from within the IDE, jumping between different versions for the same
file), the preprocessor gradle plugin declaration now requires you to
explicitly specify variables in the common.gradle and the overall
relationship between projects in the build.gradle (latter is required
anyway, so the plugin can know where it should map between forge and
fabric and which subprojects are which versions).
Since that necessitated some changes to the build.gradle file, I took
the opportunity to convert it to Kotlin. As such we now also use
Gradle's newer plugin-block with the pluginManagement-block instead of
manually declaring buildScript (not for the common.gradle though), which
imo is nicer anyway and comes with various advantages (see gradle docs).
There were also some remapping bugs fixed and some new ones
introduced (e.g. manually declared inner class mappings seem to no
longer function properly under certain conditions).
There's also support for remapping Kotlin now. Just saying.
Instead use NativeImage on 1.13+ via newly introduced Image class.
See Image docs for details.
Also fixes an issue with thumbnail taking on 1.13+: The original
ScreenshotHelper method is now async, luckily there's a sync
variant and as a bonus it directly returns a NativeImage so we can
skip having to read the screenshot from disk.
