A very lightweight vanilla style shader with colored lights. Focuses on adding some nice features that go hand in hand with vanilla. It is highly configurable and lets you craft your own personal vanilla experience.
Feature Highlights
Colored Lighting
Stracciatella adds multi-lightsource colored lighting to Minecraft with excellent performance. Light emitting blocks glow bright and tint and shade the environment.
Beautiful Distance Fog
The Overworld and the Nether have highly optimized volumetric-like fog effects that look especially beautiful with Distant Horizons, such as dynamic fog based on height aswell as patches of dense fog that sweep the landscape.
Many Bells and Whistles
Stracciatella is packed with many subtle but important visual improvements and quality of life features that improve Minecraft's look, such as rain refraction, puddles, shooting stars and much, much more!
Configurable
Make it yours! Stracciatella puts you in the driver's seat. All of Stracciatellas effects are highly customisable, so you can dial in the look exactly as you like it.
Full Feature List
Fog and Sky
Fog - OFF, Border, Auto, Advanced
Border:
Simple, comparable to vanilla
Auto:
Enables "Advanced" fog when Distant Horizons is present
Advanced:
Border fog aswell as configurable exponential distance and height based fog
Advanced Fog
Global Fog Density

Overworld
Height Scale Multiplier
Multiplier applied to the scale factor used to calculate height fog
Higher values correspond to a harsher density falloff
Height Density Multiplier
Multiplier applied to the density calculated from world height
Dynamic Density Start Height
Fog density starts to increase with player height after the selected world height
Set to the default value, this acts as a correctional factor to keep the fog density (visually) constant
Dynamic Density Multiplier
Controls how much player height influences fog density
Anisotropic Sunset Fog
Fog density at sunset and sunrise increases more in direction of the sun
Sunset Fog Anisotropy
Amount of Anisotropy
Sunset Fog Multiplier
Controls how much the fog changes during sunset and sunrise

Lighting
Lightmap - Simple, Default
Default:
All Features
Simple:
Reduced features (only "Adaptive Blocklight Reduction" and "Minimum Light")
Lightmap Settings
Skylight AO
Specifies the amount of ambient occlusion on skylight
Blocklight AO
Specifies the amount of ambient occlusion on blocklight
Skylight Gamma
Higher = Darker
Lower = Brighter
Blocklight Gamma
Higher = Darker
Lower = Brighter
Minimum Light
Restricts blocklight to never go below this value
Prevents caves from being pitch black (unless you set it to zero that is)
Lightmap Colors
Adaptive Blocklight Reduction
Reduces blocklight when the sky is bright to avoid clipping
If the blocklight is too bright during daytime, increase this slider
Nether Ambient Brightness
End Ambient Light
End Ambient Brightness
End Ambient Saturation
Skylight Day (RGB Color Picker)
Skylight Night (RGB Color Picker)
Blocklight (RGB Color Picker)
Select blocklight color (torches, glowstone, etc.)
If "Complex Blocklight" is enabled, this color will NOT be used
Complex Blocklight
Allows you to select two colors for blocklight
One for dark parts, one for bright parts
Blend Curve
Higher: Emphasize "Bright" color
Lower: Emphasize "Dark" color
50 = linear transition
Complex Blocklight Dark (RGB Color Picker)
Complex Blocklight Bright (RGB Color Picker)
Colored Lights
Enabled colored lighting on blocks
Colored Light Settings
Vibrance
Accumulation Rejection - Low, Default, High
Sets how temporal history information is discarded
Higher corresponds to history being discarded more easily
Acc. Blend Factor
Sets how temporal history information is merged with new information
A lower value places less emphasis on history and will cause colors to update faster at the cost of more flicker
Flicker Reduction
Increase this slider if you experience frequent spots of color blinking into existence
Higher values will decrease the speed at which new color spreads and appears
Acc. Regeneration Speed
Sets how fast empty regions (with no color information) are filled up
A high value will cause colors to appear faster initially, but may introduce flicker in disoccluded regions
Sample LOD Bias
Controls the detail level at which colors are sampled
A higher value will make colors smoother but may cause small lights to be skipped
A lower value will sample at higher detail but will decrease smoothness and introduce flicker
The shader does its best to calculate the appropriate LOD itself
Directional Lightmaps
Directional Lightmap Strength
Normals - Generated, Texture
Normals Resolution Multiplier
Auto-Generated Normals may have a different resolution than your resource pack
This slider allows you to select a higher resolution for the normals
No performance impact
HDR Emissives
HDR Emissive Brightness
Weather
Rain Detection - Temperature, Color
How the shader detects if rain is present

Rain does not receive rain effects
Things that are not rain receive rain effects

LUT
Applies a custom color LUT to the image Only works for Optifine G8 and higher!

Put your LUT in this folder and name it "lut[number].png"
You can then select the file using the slider

Time is used for driving animations, for example waving leaves and water
Realtime:
Uses the actual time
Worldtime:
Uses the ingame time
This can be useful for animation tools like replaymod
Framecount:
Uses the frame count based on a fixed framerate
This can be useful for animation tools like replaymod
Time Mode Framerate
Framerate used for calculating the time when "Time Mode: Framecount" is selected
Solid Block Outline
