What's new

Arcane Shaders V3 Update

Changelog:

Removed weird circle around the sun when player was underwater

Fixed grey End sky on versions 26+

I added cloud shading:

  • Self-shadowing: edges facing the sun stay bright. Edges and interiors with a lot of cloud between them and the sun get shadowed.
  • Thick centers get darker, but never fully black, so the clouds don’t look flat gray.
  • Undersides of thick clouds are darker and a bit cooler, like sky light being blocked from above.
  • Rain darkens the shading on top of the existing gray-out.
  • Silver lining works as before. The old “thick centers slightly darker” tweak is skipped when shading is on, so the two don’t double up.

Reworked Nether and added:

  • Embers and spores
  • Biome colors
  • Swirling, lava-lit fog
  • Heat haze
  • Two-tone lighting
  • New look for lava
