Release v0.31 - Configurability update

New features

• Configurable ambient light brightness

• Configurable stars amount and sky color
• New "modified linear light" godrays blending mode

Changes

• Godrays improvements
• Configuration restructure
• Removed "true darkness" options

Fixes

• Fixed water vertex bug, causing invisible water on Intel igpu
• Disabled sampling optimization for world-space volumetric clouds which caused broken rendering

Release v0.30 - New beginnings

New features

• Cloud and sun reflection
• Exposure correction
• Reflection bloom
• Refraction distortion effect
• Volumetric light rays
• High contrast tone profile
• Adjustable outdoors brightness and SSAO
• Experimental half resolution reflection

Changes

• Cloud color and denoise improvements
• Improve the looks of deep waters
• Lumi lights water material no longer affect other pipeline
• Sky gradient respects camera altitude
• Stars are rounder and brighter
• Use ACES-fitted tonemap

Fixes

• Lots
  And more...

Release v0.25 - Performance update

New features

• Pure SSAO option
• Experimental blue noise dithering mode (see more below)

Changes

• Altitude affects fog is turned off by default
• Denoising steps for SSAO and reflection has been removed
• Improved performance on SSAO, custom clouds, volumetric fog, and godrays in exchange for more noise
• Minor cloud and godray color difference due to reduced sample

Fixes

• Disable vanilla AO on entities by default--fixes Enhanced Block Entities compatibility
• Fog density option now properly controls fog density
• Prevent undefined cloud which may cause noisy screen in cloud-less dimensions

About dithering

Dithering can remove banding and boost image quality at low performance cost in exchange for a more noisy appearance.

To reduce dithering noise, it is recommended to set antialiasing to TAA at all times.

To further improve the quality of dithering, set Dithering mode in Experimental and debug settings to BLUE NOISE. Blue noise requires texture loading which is currently supported by Spiralhalo's Canvas LTS build of Canvas (look for releases with "LTS" in the title). EDIT: Blue noise is officially supported starting from Canvas 1.0.1511 for 1.16 and latest for 1.17.

  • Overall improved sun and weather cycle
  • Cave fog
• Render sun and moon with texture
• Reflection on hand held objects

Notice on 1.16 Mac compatibility build

• Mac doesn't support the glsl syntax that Lumi Lights is using on 1.16. The Mac compat build is made to help with that.
• However, it lacks testing due to lack of test hardware. If you find it not working please report an issue in the discord or the issues tab and I will help you asap.
• If you play on 1.17, you don't need to use the mac compat build.

Release v0.21 - Atmosphere model update

• Overhauled the atmosphere model, especially making sunrise and sunset look nicer
• Fixed rare critical bug causing world not rendering when using Lumi PBR Ext with a certain mod

Release v0.20 - First DEV release

TODO: proper description

THIS IS A TEST Release

test

Fix non-overworld sky in lumi mode

Version 0.14

Notice

This is an OG release.
This version works with Canvas 1.0.1267 for Minecraft 1.16.

Updates

• Lessen ambient reflection on rougher objects
• Lessen sky-less (nether & the end) base ambient reflection
• Toggleable rain puddle effect, disabled by default due to experimental nature (edit config.glsl or install respackopts to enable)
