Meek's Tweaks is an edit of Trace - Radianced! by Exers, based on Trace 2.0. This edit adds several customization features (new water textures, cloud options, more styles), while also removing certain features (bounce light).
If you wish to have additional features, such as better lighting and shadows, dynamic clouds and more, I would highly recommend checking out the original Trace - Radianced! shader.
This is the base version of Meek's Tweaks. The Radianced version can be found here: https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/shaders/meeks-tweaks-radianced
The 2 versions:
Meek's Tweaks (Main
Lighter and more compatible with mods. No Bounce Light, Colored Light, pollen or volumetric desert dust. These features caused some visual issues so I chose to remove them from the main shader. This version has better performance on lower end setups too.
Meek's Tweaks - Radianced
Includes Colored Lighting, Bounce Light (based on Trace - Radianced! 2.0), pollen and volumetric desert dust. Not as light as Base Meek's Tweaks, but still very performant when compared to other shaders. Visual issues and mod incompatibilities may be present in certain environments such as Alex's Caves or when using non-full block modded lights.
Colored lights and path-traced lighting. Light colors are determined automatically based on light-emitting pixels (which is why it can be buggy sometimes with animated light sources). Non-full blocks or transparent blocks, such as grass, also cast odd-looking shadows which stick out like a sore thumb.
