Ethereal Mystic Lite

A trimmed-down, performance-friendly version of Ethereal Mystic Shader — same cinematic core, built to run smoother on lower-end devices.

Features:

Dynamic sky & sun glow — smooth sky color transitions with a soft sun halo that shifts naturally through the day/night cycle
Volumetric fog with god rays — light shafts scatter through trees and terrain for a moody, atmospheric look
ACES color grading — cinematic tone mapping with tuned highlights, midtones, and shadows for richer contrast
Soft shadows — smoother, more natural shadow edges across the world
Enhanced water — realistic wave motion, caustics, and depth-based tinting
PBR-ready materials — subtle metalness, roughness, and emissive detail on ores and blocks
Optimized for performance — a lighter build of the full Ethereal Mystic experience, ideal for mid-range and lower-end devices

This is a lighter version with reduced fog and shading intensity for better performance. If you want the full Ethereal Mystic experience with maximum atmospheric depth, download the original Ethereal Mystic Shader instead — both versions will stay available.
