Radiance
Important: This modrinth project contains only Windows versions of Radiance. For Linux versions, please view this modrinth project.
Radiance is a Minecraft mod that completely replace the vanilla OpenGL renderer with our Vulkan C++ renderer, which supports high performance rendering and hardware-accelerated ray tracing. Due to the variety of C++ usage in the modern industrial rendering pipeline, a seamless integration of a modern industrial rendering module (such as DLSS and FSR) into our Vulkan C++ renderer is thus possible.
System Requirements
Operating System: Windows 10/11 (64-bit)
Graphics API: Vulkan-compatible GPU with VK_KHR_ray_tracing_pipeline extension
Hardware: GPU with VK_KHR_ray_tracing_pipeline extension (NVIDIA RTX Series or AMD/Intel cards supporting this extension)
Installation Guide
Please view Github Pages for detailed installation guides.

**Radiance 0.1.6-alpha Changelog**
Compared with 0.1.5, this release introduces frame generation and additional mod integrations, alongside improvements to visual quality, performance, and stability.
- Added DLSS and FSR frame generation, with selectable modes and multipliers based on hardware support.
- Added an NRD + DLSS Super Resolution pipeline and improved FSR 3 and DLSS Ray Reconstruction stability.
- Added ray-traced distant terrain through Distant Horizons, plus Flywheel / Create and Sable integrations for supported Minecraft versions and mod loaders.
- Improved the Advanced shader pack's day and night lighting, atmosphere, volumetric lighting, clouds, fog, and exposure. Added wet ground effects during rain.
- Improved water waves, refraction, and underwater rendering. Made light transmission and shadow tinting consistent across transparent materials.
- Improved NRD denoising and responsiveness to lighting changes, reducing reflection flicker, bright noise, and motion ghosting.
- Optimized chunk loading, entity rendering, and geometry caching to reduce redundant work and resource allocations.
- Fixed missing block geometry, incorrect render layers, and transparency issues during item pickup.
- Fixed occasional blue and magenta flashes when switching rendering pipelines or dimensions. Improved GPU resource synchronization and runtime stability.
- Improved UI rendering, window resizing, and resource reload compatibility.
- Refined quality presets, setting descriptions, and reset controls. Fixed shader pack settings not following the selected game language.

Что нового
* Radiance supports from now on individual shaderpacks. There are two internal ones: [Vanilla PT](https://github.com/Minecraft-Radiance/Shaderpack-Vanilla-PT) and [Advanced](https://github.com/Minecraft-Radiance/Shaderpack-Advanced). Features including:
* Basic path tracing
* Normal mapping
* Parallax
* Realistic water with caustics
* ReSTIR for direct light sampling (Advanced only)
* Volumetric Light
* Volumetric Cloud
* Motion Blur
* Added chunk emission collection for direct light sampling. See [Advanced Shaderpack](https://github.com/Minecraft-Radiance/Shaderpack-Advanced) and [manual](https://github.com/Minecraft-Radiance/awsome-radiance-shaderpacks) for details.
* Enhanced chunk loading with multi-threading.
* Significantly enhanced texturepack reload speed (3x).
* Significantly reduced the usage of RAM and VARM.
* Significantly reduced the pipeline recreation time.
* A lot of small bugs fixed.
* Port for 1.21.1 and 1.20.1 is comming soon.
