📋 About This Mod

## Hello everyone! I’m excited to share my **Vanilla Shader Project** with you all. I’m still a beginner in the world of programming, but it’s been an incredible journey learning how this works and seeing the results of many hours spent in front of the screen. !(https://cdn.modrinth.com/data/hXre4kOm/images/f0754576be6c5fad09df18f5b0b9835a2d737278.jpeg) I’ve just released **Version 2 (V2)**. While it was technically "ready," I felt it needed some extra polishing (and it still does!). Please keep in mind that there are still plenty of bugs, but I’m committed to fixing them as I learn. > **Note:** Currently, it does not support Sodium, but I’m working hard to make that happen soon! ### 🟢 What’s New in V2 * **Toon/Retro Lighting:** Light sources now feature silhouettes for a stylized, classic game aesthetic. * **Bouncing & Indirect Light:** New mechanics for light accumulation and bounce. * **True Darkness:** Nights are now significantly darker and more atmospheric. --- ### 1) What this shader does * **Enhanced Lighting:** Change global illumination and light. * **Diferrent Visuals:** Tweaks colors and contrast. * **Performance is not bad:** Designed to run on mid-range hardware. ### 2) Why you should try it * **New Feel:** provide a "moody" atmosphere. * **Plug & Play:** No complex installations—it’s a standard resource pack. ### 3) Critical Info & Compatibility * **Visual Only:** This is a purely aesthetic pack; it does not change gameplay mechanics or add any "cheats." * * **Feedback Welcome:** Since I’m learning, your feedback is incredibly valuable! Feel free to report bugs or share your thoughts.
