What's new

Hearthmist Shaders 0.4.0

New since 0.2.4

  • Wet surfaces, procedural puddles and animated rain rings on water.
  • Layered rain streaks with varied length, width, speed and wind tilt.
  • Visible emissive lightning and storm illumination.
  • Gradual eye adaptation based on ambient light at the player.
  • Animated underwater sunlight patterns (caustics).
  • Wet ground and puddles gradually dry after rain stops.
  • Russian and English settings; eye adaptation and caustics have separate toggles.

Validation and notes

375 GLSL program combinations and synthetic GPU checks passed. This release has not yet been visually validated in Minecraft. OptiFine lightning flashes use a sky-color estimate; snow detection uses the camera biome and may differ at biome boundaries or altitude-dependent snow. Reflections show sky/light, not buildings.
