Float-Precision issues on extreme distances from 0,0

[WenXin20]

BlueMap Version:
v1.3.1-forge

I am using:

• mods (on the rendered world)
• resourcepacks (in bluemaps config/resourcepack folder)

Description:

• Traveling to extreme distances causes map jerkiness and block disconnections. (based on chunks maybe?)

I also have this issue without any mods and using BlueMap Verison 1.3.1-spigot

PM if you want a link

Kind of related (and copied from Discord):

Ok so there's two different "symptoms" that start happening at different distances:

• The tiles start "shaking" slightly when rotating or tilting the camera
  This starts very early at around 100k but only very slightly. At 200k-300k it is easily noticeable especially when zoomed in. At really high coordinates, tiles start flickering randomly.

• The camera starts "jumping" instead of moving smoothly
  Starts at around 500k and gets really bad at around 1m-2m.

(Tested with Firefox on Bluemap Spigot 1.3.1 with a mod that allows for an infinite repeating hires map)

I noticed this too :)

This is just a guess but I believe that the 3D engine for the WebGL is using floating-point so as we go further out the precision worsens. So my opinion is to use a local cord system based on the current position of the camera or find a BigInt implementation for WebGL.

Just wanted to show that it still has a similar issue with 1.4.2 at extreme distance. It no longer keeping the blocks uniform.
