LITE shaders 4.5 : by Entokito Dezonze 10/12/2025 2:02:08 pmOctober 12, 2025 @ 6:02 pm UTC

# OVERVIEW:
- This update improves the look of the shader and fixes so many bugs.

# General changes:
- Redstone wires now glow (with Glowing Materials enabled).
- Pixels around the Sun and Moon (Vanilla) have been reduced.
- Gravel and stone/concrete variants reflect more light with Material Gloss enabled.
- Night is foggier and clearer.
- Water waves are more realistic.
- Small changes in colors.

# Optimizations:
- The shader is slightly faster when bloom and DoF are turned off.
- Clouds now require fewer samples to look the same, improving performance in Medium, High, Extreme, and MAX profiles (including shadowless variants).
- Small optimizations have been made to the code.
- Small performance improvement.

# Clouds changes:
- Colors are a bit different.
- Removed pixelization on clouds when the number of steps was low (same for cirrus); now clouds with low samples only look less detailed.

# Bugfixes:
## Minor bugs:
- Fixed a bug that prevented water in Distant Horizons from creating reflections when the reflections option was on "High".
- Fixed too dark night when simpler exposure was enabled.
- Fixed a bug that made clouds change their density abruptely in 0 ticks worldtime.
- Fixed a bug that made stars too dark.
- Fixed a bug that prevented the Realistic+ sky to work in Minecraft versions below 1.16.4.
- Fixed bad look on clouds at 1.13 and below.
- Fixed too dark night when using simpler exposure.
- Fixed too dark stars.
## Critical bugs:
- Fixed a bug that caused shader failure on AMD hardware.
- Fixed "Mirrored" sky in older versions of Minecraft.

# Sky changes:
- New horizon colors (Realistic+ color scheme).
- The sunset/rise transition got reworked (Realistic+ color scheme).
- Big changes to the "LITE Vanilla" color scheme; now it looks much more similar to vanilla Minecraft (NOT identical).

Thank you! Version 4.3 has a bug that impedes the shader work when using Distant Horizons. Will be fixed on version 4.4
