## Dynamic Shadows - This should bring mellow more in line with other shader visually - While I optimized them as much as I could, they still cost a lot of performance. This is why they are **off by default**. This might change in the future though. - You can enable them in the shader settings. I put them right on the front page! ## Voxy support - Voxy is a mod that renders far terrain using lods, with higher detail than Distant Horizons. Mellow now supports it. - This feature is experimental. Expect some bugs. ## Colorwheel support - This mod gives higher performance with Create and shaders. Mellow now supports it. ## PBR support - Added support for labPBR 1.3 resource packs. Once again, this is off by default for performance reasons - Normals, specular reflections, texture AO, emissiveness and SSS are supported ## More cool effects - Added chromatic aberration - Added color balancing options - Added a channel mixer option - Added a world outlines option ## Season coloring - Added on option to change the color of foliage based on seasons - Each season lasts 30 minecraft days, A new world starts with spring ## Other - Switched to glsl version 400. This allows me to write cleaner code, and use advanced functions for more performance (in the future) - Added settings for border fog and underwater fog strength - Fix z-fighting on banners and texture overlays - Improve the aspect of terrain from lod mods with SSAO - Improved aspect of handheld lighting - Fix some other minor bugs

## This version is incompatible with configs made for previous versions. Please reset your shader settings after updating!!! ### Color options - All the options relating to colors have been moved to the new "Colors" tab - In this tab, you can select predefined color schemes to easily change the way your game looks! - There are only three available for now: Default, Vanilla and Choc v7 - I plan to add one color scheme per major update from now on - Color sliders are now relative to the selected color scheme. This was a necessary change to make color schemes work within the limitations of the optifine pipeline. ### Better Anti-Aliasing - Added SMAA, an advanced anti-aliasing method that leaves the image sharper than the other methods that were present in Mellow - It is used by default in the "Fabulous" preset, alongside "Denoise only" TAA - FXAA has been removed, since it doesn't have any upsides over SMAA ### Other important changes - Water now shows the vanilla texture a bit - Crops will now wave - Godrays are more concentrated around the sun - Vibrance & exposure have been lowered a bit, to make the shader easier on the eyes - Made some small optimizations & bugfixes
