Vibrant Atmosphere: A custom fog system that reacts to the time of day, creating beautiful golden hours and deep, moody nights. Living World: Subtle, procedural wind animations for leaves, grass, and crops. Correct Gamma Workflow: Full sRGB-to-Linear conversion ensures that torchlight and sunlight mix realistically. 🛠️ Compatibility Loaders: Iris (Recommended) or OptiFine. Versions: Minecraft 1.20.x, 1.21.x, and above. Hardware: Designed to run well on both dedicated GPUs and modern integrated graphics.
