Vibrancy

Raytraced colored lights in Minecraft Java

I've always liked shaders, but recently they've felt too realistic. Something about the skybox, water, or just the fuzzy shadows doesn't feel Minecraft-y to me. So, I made this mod. As you can see in the picture above, lights now cast shadows with clean edges, which (I think) keeps the vanilla feel. There is also shadow-d light from the sun/moon, but that isn't displayed here.
Recommended mods to go with:

Also, this mod is incompatible with shaders, likely because of the reflective blocks.
