What's new

  • New Ciderlight Settings page: in Options > Video Settings, click Ciderlight... under the graphics preset. The Shaders choice (Off, Low, High) has moved there.
  • You can turn Shadows, Waving Plants, Water Reflections and Ambient Occlusion off one by one, and set the Render Scale (Auto, or 50 to 100%). Shadows off saves the most: about 45% more frames on an M4 Pro.
  • Shadows and Ambient Occlusion change straight away. The other settings apply after you restart the game.
  • A setting fixed by a -Dciderlight.* JVM argument is greyed out, since the argument wins.

Thanks to @ByteV0rtex for the settings page (https://github.com/riccqi/ciderlight/pull/2).
