Changes

• Improved support for Aurora’s Lanterns (lighting inconsistencies with the lanterns – only works in newer versions).

• Improved the visual quality of motion blur when temporal supersampling is enabled.
• Restored compatibility with older Minecraft versions in OptiFine (≤ 1.16.x) for non-NVIDIA GPUs.

• Lighting in low-light areas (without direct light and under shadow) was improved.
• Other minor changes.

Changes

• Added support for the new copper blocks (fences, statues, lanterns).
• Added compatibility for the “end flashes” (not tested on Optifine).
• Micro‑optimization for a dithering algorithm.

Changes

• Attempt has been made to address multiple reports of "black ink" and "white glow," however these issues are irreproducible on the hardware I have access to.
• A new review of the TAA system has been conducted.
• Micro-optimizations have been applied in various parts of the code.

Changes

• Second review of the TAA system.
• Added support for future blocks of version 1.21.19.

Hotfix:

• Fix a compilation error when activating depth of field and TAA simultaneously.

Changes

• Revised anti-aliasing via TAA:
  • Ghosting effects when looking through a translucent surface have been resolved.
  • General ghosting has been slightly reduced.
  • A TAA+ method has been added that utilizes FXAA to enhance quality, especially for entities and moving elements in the scene.
  • The "Sharp TAA" method was removed.
• An inaccurate calculation of the volumetric light position has been corrected, which previously caused light to appear behind certain surfaces.
• Translucent object shadows have been set as default. Previous shadows remain available optionally.

Changes

• Increased compatibility and support for some custom dimensions (Iris only). Tested in Ad Astra, The Aether, Deeper and Darker.
• Fixed the brightness of enchanted objects in darkness.
• Fixed an issue with the sky color when the player was in a pale garden biome and other similar biomes that adjust the sky color.
• Fixed a compilation error message that only appeared in OptiFine.

Changes

• The way fog is applied has been improved so that it looks better during transitions between open and enclosed areas, eliminating some strange behaviors such as when looking through a window or the sensation of fog existing indoors.
• Water transparency viewed from inside has been adjusted.
• Some colors have been subtly fine-tuned.

Changes

• Soulfire and Fire now do not cast shadows.
• The way Soulfire glows has been adjusted.

Changes

• A bug was fixed that caused white flashes to appear underwater when the drawing distance was greater than 15 units or less than 4.
• An alternative configuration file has been added, which will be part of a version of the shader with different default values.

Changes

• A specific hardware issue was corrected, in which large black patches invaded the screen when any type of temporal sampling was activated.
