  - Positioning of items in an item stack on ground now depends on model size and model type.
    - If model depth (Z coordinate) is below 1/16th of a block, item is rendered as flat stack of items.
    - Otherwise model is rendered as a cluster of items offset in all directions around center.
    - Previously, flat stack rendering happened only for models with builtin/generated parent.
The version is now 52.

- type is now a required field for each uniform.
  - Possible values are currently int, ivec3, float, vec2, vec3, vec4, matrix4.
- values in each uniform is now optional.
  - Leaving it unset is not recommended and is used for runtime configuration of the blur effect.
- Leaving a uniform unspecified results in undefined behavior, the player must specify each one that will be used by the shaders.
