Full changelog is reserved for final release version

• This snapshot mainly adds an official support for darkness effect and powder snow fog in 1.19. Please update to the latest Canvas and report if anything is broken!

• Water has been made more opaque for better reflection and depth effect
• Improved distant reflections, aligned the sun and its reflection with its specular highlight
• Improved glowing sign text
• Shadow hue shift has been removed

Lumi Lights v0.40-pre1 - Feature freeze

New Features

• [Technical] Normal buffer now now goes to the negative range of float

Fixes

• Fix Nether fog (since v0.40-snapshot8)
