Hearthmist Shaders

Hearthmist Shaders 0.5.0 - Sunlit Foliage

• Added soft, warm sunlight transmission through leaves when looking toward the sun. The effect reacts to skylight and shadow visibility, fades during rain, and switches off at night.
• Rain streaks are now subdued blue-grey instead of bright white. Dark areas dim the drops, sunlight adds gentle highlights, and lightning still illuminates precipitation.
• Added leaf transmission toggle and strength, plus rain brightness and opacity controls in English and Russian. Low disables leaf transmission; Balanced uses reduced strength.

Validation

375 GLSL program pairs compiled and linked on an NVIDIA RTX 4060. GPU checks passed for leaf backlighting, shadow/night/material isolation, darker rain, lightning response and unchanged snow. Checks were performed outside Minecraft; this release has not been visually validated in a game client.
