Description

Detailed information

Our Community Discord: [Klick me](https://discord.ogcraftnet.vip/) TrueLightFX Shader for Minecraft TrueLightFX is a custom Minecraft shader based on the open-source Prismarine Shader. This shader aims to enhance the visual experience of Minecraft by adding realistic lighting, shadows, and atmospheric effects while maintaining good performance. With TrueLightFX, players can enjoy immersive gameplay with improved light dynamics, smooth water reflections, and vibrant colors—perfect for both low-end and mid-range systems. Credits to Septonious: [Source Project ](https://github.com/Septonious/Prismarine-Shader) using older MIT Release of Source Project Compatibility: TrueLightFX might work with the Minecraft versions 1.8.2 – 1.19, but older versions may experience bugs and reduced smoothness. For the best experience, it is strongly recommended to use Minecraft 1.19 or newer.Also I dont recomment using optifine bc of some features that are very buggy on Optfine but on Iris they just work fine!Also please note that I would recommend you to only use Versions of the game where Iris&Sodium still get updates!

# TrueLightFX v5.1.2 - Compatibility & Color Hotfix ## Fixes for Compatibility of Older Game Versions - Fixed a shader compilation crash (`endCol undeclared`) on older Iris and OptiFine versions by converting relative include paths to absolute paths and ensuring End color variables are declared globally. - Fixed a pipeline crash (`Non [a-z0-9/._-] character in path`) on older Iris versions by converting uppercase Prismarine block IDs to lowercase in `block.properties`. - Restored original End dimension color parameters (`END_R`, `END_G`, `END_B`, `END_I`) in `settings.glsl` to bring back the intended blue-violet look instead of red.

### TrueLightFX V4.4 ### This update focuses on improving lighting calculations, shader stability, and environmental animations. Several internal shader files were optimized to make the rendering more consistent and reliable. ## Improvements Sun Angle Calculation The shader now uses sunAngle instead of worldTime for calculating the sun position. This results in smoother day and night transitions and more accurate shadow fading during sunrise and sunset. Cloud Rendering Cloud rendering has been adjusted to better match the sky lighting and exposure. This improves overall visual consistency in different weather and lighting conditions. Waving Animations The waving system for vegetation has been improved. Grass, plants, and other foliage now move more smoothly and naturally. Lighting Adjustments Improvements were made to the deferred lighting pipeline to create more consistent brightness and better environmental lighting. ## Fixes Fixed advanced materials compatibility issues. Fixed shadow fade timing issues. Fixed minor problems in the hand rendering shader. Fixed lighting inconsistencies caused by previous time calculations. Cleaned up shader configuration settings. ## ## Internal Changes The following shader files were updated: deferred1.glsl shadow.glsl gbuffers_hand.glsl clouds.glsl waving.glsl settings.glsl shaders.properties These changes mainly improve rendering accuracy and shader stability.
