Fluidworks 1.6.0-preview.4

• Fixed the blue band beneath the night sky by replacing the exposed lower-sky background before water captures the scene.

• Significantly reduced moonlight, nighttime ambient lighting and minimum illumination. Emitted block lights retain their brightness.

• Added moving, full-height distant haze driven by time-of-day and weather profiles, without the previous near-volume distance cap.

• Reworked water absorption, refraction, reflections and ripple normals for both block water and native physical water.

• Reduced milky scattering, excessive reflection brightness and sharp water highlights.

• Added Fog: distant haze, Water body scattering and Water ripple strength controls.

Validation: Vulkan shader compilation, client integration and nine software reference-render checks passed. Full in-game visual review and hardware performance measurements remain pending.
