DEC — Dynamic Explosion Clouds v2.0.0 (Photorealistic Fire & Volumetric Smoke Overhaul)

Supported Version: Minecraft Forge 1.21.1 (Java 21)

Visual & Rendering Overhaul

• Volumetric Smoke System: Replaced spherical particle clusters with 8 procedural anisotropic FBM smoke sheets featuring 4 density/color layers (carbon-black core, dark charcoal billows, warm amber fire-scatter, and slate-grey atmospheric dissipation) with wind shear and curl turbulence.

• Photorealistic Organic Fire: Replaced blocky repeated vanilla fire quads with multi-layered vertical flame ribbons (yellow-white cores, golden-orange bodies, and crimson-red outer tongues) that cling to and climb building facades.

• Dynamic Fire Illumination & Atmosphere: Added synchronized flickering orange-amber surface illumination, soft flame bloom, rising heat-haze shimmer, localized smoke fog darkening, and 5 secondary particle types (rising embers, ballistic sparks, charred ash flakes, surface smoke wisps, and dust).

• Proportional Ordnance & Contrail Scaling: Scaled explosion plumes automatically from compact tactical puffs for small missiles/RPGs to towering multi-story infernos for heavy bombs, plus sleek propellant contrails and nozzle sparks for in-flight rockets.

Performance, Configuration & Compatibility

• In-Game Configuration GUI (O Key): Added 11 real-time visual controls and 4 hardware presets (Low [2GB VRAM], Medium, High, and Cinematic).

• Shader & Bug Fixes: Added automatic HDR exposure scaling for Oculus, Iris Shaders, and DEC Cinematic Shaders, and fixed missing particle texture bindings and ground-dome smoke clumping.
