Emers Shades v3.0 — Changelog

🌊 New: Custom Water System

• Added a fully custom water configuration, replacing the default vanilla water on all 34 biomes.
• Small, natural wave motion — gentle ripples instead of flat or overly aggressive ocean swells.
• Caustics enabled — light now refracts and dances across surfaces underwater for a realistic sunlit-water look.
• Reflection and refraction enhanced via the pack's PBR pipeline (Vibrant Visuals required in-game settings).
• Per-biome water tint preserved — oceans, rivers, swamps, and frozen biomes still keep their distinct color identity under the new wave/caustic system.

☀️ Lighting Balance

• Capped sun illuminance under 100 across all lighting profiles (overworld, snow, desert) — previous peaks (up to ~210) were scaled down proportionally so sunrise/noon/sunset transitions keep their original shape, just balanced for better exposure.
• Slight ambient light boost for softer, more natural shadow fill.

🎨 Color Grading Enhancements

• Subtle saturation increase and contrast boost cross shadows, midtones, and highlights — adds richness without breaking the ACES tone mapping.
• Applied consistently across the default, snow, and desert color grading profiles.

🌅 Atmosphere

• Increased sun glow/mie strength for a softer, more cinematic glow around the sun during sunrise and sunset.

🔧 Version

• Bumped pack version to v3.0.0.
