In this update, support for the new Vault block in Minecraft Preview has been added, numerous items have been improved and brought up to standard, added new language localization, alongside more experimental features and changes (including new and improved sun angle without previous bugs!)

Vanilla RTX & Vanilla RTX Normals v1.21.10 - v1.21.11 / Changelogs:

• Added support for Vault block of the Trial Chambers.
- To accommodate for consistency between Trial spawners and Vault block, inactive states now emit a small amount of light.

• Translated package description in all (29) languages
Note: translations might not yet be perfect, if you are a native speaker of a language other than English and find the translation for your language to sound problematic, you can an issue on Github and suggest a better translation for your language.
- Improved pack settings menu texts.

• Revamped Lectern, now fully consistent with other wood blocks, books are now consistent with bookshelf, golden parts now match gold. Improved heightmaps with better edges, revamped Normals.

• Updated bookshelf heightmap, height differences of books is now based on average pixel brightness of each book for a more natural look, added missing details

• Updated Barrel
- Revamped normal maps, improved heightmaps
- Updated wooden parts material to be consistent with other wooden blocks

• Revamped composter, now consistent with podzol and other wooden blocks, reworked heightmaps and normal maps.

• Updated podzol
- Revamped heightmaps, improved normal maps with better tiling
- New redefined materials.

• Revamped Lodestone, all new normal maps, improved heightmaps and new materials that better matches smooth stone.

• Updated Smooth Stone Slab normal maps to match Smooth Stone.

• Improved cobblestone and mossy cobblestone normal maps, smoother curvature.

• Updated old stonecutter top and side normal maps

• Revamped new stonecutter
- New saw material animation that follows the saw texture and better matches other iron materials.
- Freshly designed normal maps and improved heightmaps.
- Updated materials, iron, wooden and stone parts are now fully consistent with other blocks of same type.

• Updated all hardened clay materials, now much more rough with less contrasting roughness for a less harsh and smoother look.

• Revamped Brewing stand, new materials, iron parts are now consistent with other iron of the same class, rod emissivity has been tweaked with more detail, new normals, improved heightmaps.

• Snowy grass side normal map now more seamlessly connects with snow block above it, also improved its heightmap to fully match snow heightmap.

• Revamped Lava, now with proper animations!
Previously, emissivity was based on average of all stages of lava to make up for lack of animated MER support. Now that once again animated MERs are functional in Minecraft (after years!) The new emissivity now follows lava's texture animation, resulting in a much more lava-like appearance where yellow parts glow hotter. New lava will appear overall more vibrant and more faithful to vanilla Minecraft.
Going forward more animated blocks will be updated with proper material animations.
- Added a subtle normal map animation to Lava in Vanilla RTX Normals.

• Added more details to Netherrack mortar MER

• Reworked crimson and warped Nylium
- New materials, crimson nylium top is now consistent with netherrack .
- Reworked heightmaps, new subtle normal maps with better tiling.

• Revamped all nether foliage (wines, roots and sprouts)
- Now fully consistent with Crimson and warped nyliums, improved heightmaps and normal maps.


Experimental Updates:
This update comes with more experimental changes as well! You can enable them through Vanilla RTX or (Vanilla RTX Normals) pack settings.
(Not to confuse this with experimentals option in world settings, enabling this doesn't require you to toggle anything else! It just activates a portion of Vanilla RTX that is deactivated by default).

• Improved sun azimuth modifier in experimentals:
- Fixed the bug where sun texture and directional sun light were appearing to come from opposite directions during sunrise and sunset, improved sun path with smoother and more natural transitions.
- The moon now rises and sets from the opposite azimuth angle compared to the the sun.
- The new sun azimuth modifier is less extreme and thus should appear more natural/vanilla.
Notes: You should no longer feel like you're close to north pole! Some of you said the sun azimuth modifications introduced in v1.20.5 were too extreme, new one should appear more vanilla. Also no more sudden direction changes during sunrise and sunset! As promised in v1.20.5's post.

• Fixed spyglass overlay texture being too zoomed-in and dysfunctional with ray tracing.
- New converted texture for ray tracing mode.
Notes: While this fix is a perfect recreation of Vanilla Minecraft's spyglass, it comes with one drawback, spyglass overlay texture now appears too zoomed-out without ray tracing, so take it that this fix is only meant for ray tracing graphics mode since disabling ray tracing will break spyglass overlay texture.

• Added an incomplete workaround fix for black areas on The Breeze, Wind charge and The Warden entities.
Notes: These fixes 2 in particular are not yet complete, however for the time being they are an improvement over the issues that come with the game. I'll be trying to address more of game's issues and improve fixes through various workarounds with the upcoming updates. Keep an eye out in the experimentals section of changelogs.

v1.21.11 Changelogs:
• Added full support for the new vault block. (vault block visuals have been updated)
- Improved vault block emissivity
• Fixed vault block file names in latest Minecraft Preview
• Updated trial spawner heightmaps and emissivity.
• Updated Vanilla RTX and Vanilla RTX Normals package icons to 1.21.
