ВЕРСИИ (35)

This version includes some critical fixes that were accidentally left out of the last release.

- Restored macOS compatibility - Added support for 26.3 blocks and enchantment glint - Added a pixelated shadows option (by @kgadberry) - Improved water puddles (and turned them on by default) - Add support for color grading LUTs - Add a purkinje effect (night vision) option - Fix sun reflection in water being too dark - Small performance improvements

<details> <summary>Testing wanted</summary> I'm currently working on a script that should improve loading times significantly for Mellow. I plan to use it by default in the next version, but I need to know it works correctly. Please see [here](https://modrinth.com/shader/mellow/version/3.4b) if you're interested. </details> - Added floodfill based colored lighting - Added an option for double layered clouds - Improve handling of PBR metals (especially underground) - Fix night vision only applying underground - Make POM work on hand items & entities - Add colored shadows option - Fix blocky clouds breaking on some hardware - Fix dynamic shadows when the sun angle is 0 - Many other bugfixes

This is Mellow v3.4 that has been preprocessed in order to improve loading times (by up to 3x on Optifine). If you notice any problems that aren't present in the main version, please open an issue on [codeberg](https://codeberg.org/TheCMK/mellow-shader/issues).

- Added a new cloud style: "Blocky" - Made POM work on blocks with rectangular faces (eg. fences, stairs). POM should be a little more performant too. - Handheld lights are now centered around the player in 3rd person (iris exclusive) - Added dynamic image sharpening, which should reduce artifacts when stading still with the "Fabulous" profile - Made daytime slightly less bright - Small optimizations for bloom, shadows & lighting - Fix outline effect appearing on the edges of the screen - Fix puddles appearing in the nether & end - Fix "Water Fog" & "Underwater Fog" options - Many other bugfixes

- Added water puddles after rain option - Added displacement around grass when the player walks through it - Added PBR resourcepack reflections - Fixed specular highlights being too weak - Added POM shadowing option - Small tweaks to existing effects - Lots of changes under the hood, that should allow for more cool effects in the future!

- Added rainbows. By default, they appear after rain - Added support for PBR porosity & SSS - Slight improvements to ambient occlusion quality - Added a few customization options: border fog falloff, selection outline color - Fix particles not being lit up by handheld lights - Fix fog being weaker in older game versions - Fix custom skyboxes in the end - Fix image sharpening running in the wrong color space - Small optimizations

- Rework ambient fog & underwater fog. It should look much nicer and behave better with Voxy & DH - Added POM for labPBR resourcepacks - Changed clouds shape to feel more "clumped". Clouds should be a bit more performant too - Optimized raytraced reflections & ambient occlusion - Add two new tonampper options: AgX Punchy and Khronos PBR Neutral (by @Notritsu) - For the billionth time, changed how water transitions into DH terrain

- Fix distant horizons rendering - Added a new style of clouds: Volumetric - Fix some bugs with distant horizons & voxy on older game versions - Fix water, end sky, not renering behind the block selection outline - Fix flipped image reflections with voxy

- Fix block breaking animation - Fix flipped image reflections with voxy - Optimized depth of field effect & made it work with lod mods - Fix seasons with voxy

- Fix compilation error with voxy mod on nvidia hardware - New end portal effect - Fix incorrect translucent rendering with voxy

## Dynamic Shadows - This should bring mellow more in line with other shader visually - While I optimized them as much as I could, they still cost a lot of performance. This is why they are **off by default**. This might change in the future though. - You can enable them in the shader settings. I put them right on the front page! ## Voxy support - Voxy is a mod that renders far terrain using lods, with higher detail than Distant Horizons. Mellow now supports it. - This feature is experimental. Expect some bugs. ## Colorwheel support - This mod gives higher performance with Create and shaders. Mellow now supports it. ## PBR support - Added support for labPBR 1.3 resource packs. Once again, this is off by default for performance reasons - Normals, specular reflections, texture AO, emissiveness and SSS are supported ## More cool effects - Added chromatic aberration - Added color balancing options - Added a channel mixer option - Added a world outlines option ## Season coloring - Added on option to change the color of foliage based on seasons - Each season lasts 30 minecraft days, A new world starts with spring ## Other - Switched to glsl version 400. This allows me to write cleaner code, and use advanced functions for more performance (in the future) - Added settings for border fog and underwater fog strength - Fix z-fighting on banners and texture overlays - Improve the aspect of terrain from lod mods with SSAO - Improved aspect of handheld lighting - Fix some other minor bugs

- Reworked ambient fog work like how it does in real life - Godrays now affect ambient fog instead of doing their own thing - New anti-aliasing mode: Super Resolution. It blends two frames together to give higher image quality - New color scheme: Winter - Small bugfixes

- Added depth of field effect - Tweaked bloom to make it less blinding - Added fog that makes end islands appear to blend into the void - End auroras now respond to the new end flashes - Fix some bugs relating to DH - Fix some bugs not relating to DH

## If you are updating from a version BEFORE v2.0, please reset your shader settings - Fix Ambient Occlusion on AMD hardware - Ambient Occlusion now works with distant horizons - Added Aurora Borealis. By default they appear in snowy biomes at night - Fix a LOT of bugs relating to distant horizons - Fix blurry leads - New color scheme: Visually Vibrant - Tweak cloud lighting

## If you are updating from a version BEFORE v2.0, please reset your shader settings - Fix shader failing to load on AMD hardware - Add flipped image reflections, enabled by default on the "Fancy" profile

## This version is incompatible with configs made for previous versions. Please reset your shader settings after updating!!! ### Color options - All the options relating to colors have been moved to the new "Colors" tab - In this tab, you can select predefined color schemes to easily change the way your game looks! - There are only three available for now: Default, Vanilla and Choc v7 - I plan to add one color scheme per major update from now on - Color sliders are now relative to the selected color scheme. This was a necessary change to make color schemes work within the limitations of the optifine pipeline. ### Better Anti-Aliasing - Added SMAA, an advanced anti-aliasing method that leaves the image sharper than the other methods that were present in Mellow - It is used by default in the "Fabulous" preset, alongside "Denoise only" TAA - FXAA has been removed, since it doesn't have any upsides over SMAA ### Other important changes - Water now shows the vanilla texture a bit - Crops will now wave - Godrays are more concentrated around the sun - Vibrance & exposure have been lowered a bit, to make the shader easier on the eyes - Made some small optimizations & bugfixes

- Add support for blocks from the new "Winter drop" - Add zh_CN translation (Credit to [Notritsu](https://codeberg.org/TheCMK/mellow-shader/issues/18)) - Godrays now turn bluer if you're underwater - Water color takes into account biome color - Moon light gets darker depending on the phase of the moon - Fix a few bugs related to godrays

- Light sources now spread further, instead of completely fading out at light level 7 - Add bloom curve option, which allows you to control how much dim pixels contribute to bloom vs bright pixels - Underwater fog now changes according to sunlight - Rename some options in the settings menu - Many bugfixes

They're faster now too! - Improved denoising of SSAO & water reflections - Tweaked sunset colors - Tweaked waving plants - Bugfixes
