Hey, I still have a small problem with the rain reflections. The light reflections go on like shown on the screenshot (tho the old problem with the weird ripples are gone). Is it going to be fixed with the next update or is it on my end, and if so how can I fix it?

I'm still on windows 10 (64 bits) and with a GeForce GTX 1050 Ti

I'm loving the look of the caustics though ^^

Known issue, but fixing it might cause quite a performance hit, it's on the todo list.

hullo! having an issue, i put sildurs lite in with pixagraph texture pack. and it did some weird things with a chest and lights and underground mobs...i thought it might be the textpack so i took that out, wasn't, still did it, was wondering if i could get some help please?

EDITED cuz i spelled pixagraph wrong whoops

Try updating your gpu drivers

I have an idea, what about optional Volumetric clouds in the style of vanilla? Like how Vanilla Plus did it.

Enhanced Default v1.10 released!

Changelog:

- Added an antialising section to the shader options.
- Added TAA (Temporal anti-aliasing), disabled by default. (I recommend enabling it if your system can handle the extra load)
- Added an ingame option to toggle the quality of TAA (Fast|Fancy)
- Added adaptive sharpening, enabled by default, but is only active if TAA is enabled.
- Added an ingame option to adjust the sharpening strength.
- Updated nether shaders, everything supported by the overworld is now supported in nether aswell, (reflections, taa, parallax mapping etc)
- Fixed ice and stained glass being affected by refractions. (water waves)
- Fixed lectern rendering, no more black bars on it's sides.
- Various code improvements.

Credits to Chocapic13, TAA and adaptive sharpening implementations are based of his code:

I'm using the Vibrant shader with Roguelike Adventures & Dungeons and absolutely love it. However, after today's RAD update I can't see underwater (it's opaque dark blue), and the surface of the water has an odd speckled pattern as if it's reflecting something that isn't there. This doesn't occur on my backup from the previous version of RAD. Any idea what changed?

If it helps, your Enhanced Default shader works perfectly in both versions of RAD.

EDIT: Correction, I can no longer see underwater in the backup profile either, and yet neither Optifine, the shader, nor my nVIdia drivers have been updated recently. Very strange.

Sounds like a mod issue to me since this only started after you updated it. Enhanced default usually works well with mods due to the way I wrote it.

Would it be possible to port the motion blur from Vibrant over to Enhanced Default? I really like the way emissive textures create streaks when I look around in Vibrant, but I prefer the resource pack compatibility of Enhanced Default.

Enhanced default already has the same motionblur code, the streaks are caused by bloom.

That's odd, for me the streaks still appear with bloom disabled. I attached some some screenshots where I tested this. Bloom is disabled for all of them except the last one. The last one has it enabled at default strength.

I made some small local changes to Enhanced default, which is why the packed ice has (non-wavy) reflections. I didn't touch anything related to motion blur or lighting, though.

Sadly, Enhanced Default looks nothing like the screenshots for me. Shadows work fine, but the water isn't reflective at all. It looks like the normal Minecraft water with extra animation. And Vibrant is useless as it turns water completely opaque.

Hm try updating optifine and your gpu drivers. If it's modded water it must be added to the ids in block.properties.

Vibrant shaders v1.25 released!

Changelog:

- Added an antialising section to the shader options.
- Added TAA (Temporal anti-aliasing)
- Added an ingame option to toggle the quality of TAA (Fast|Fancy)
- Added adaptive sharpening (causes some issues with emissive blocks, disabled by default)
- Added an ingame option to adjust the sharpening strength.
- Added an ingame option to toggle the blue underwater color tint to the fog section.
- Reworked and improved custom textured skybox support, now also supports daytime.
- Changed option default skybox, now auto disables shader sun and moon, since using default skybox enables default/textured sun and moon.
- Added option skybox blend factor, allows you to tweak the color amount of the shader sky mixing with the default skybox texture.
- Removed option shader moon. If no resourcepack is present default skybox will only enable default sun and moon texture and auto disable custom moon and sun.
- Added support for default sun texture.
- Default stars are no longer supported, use a resourcepack with a skybox texture instead or just use the shader stars.
- Reworked clouds dithering / filter.
- Updated nether shaders to support some new features, will probably be rewritten in future updates.
- Minor water adjustements.

I'm using Custom NPCs, and I'm having 2 problems: one problem I'm having is that the speech balloons are nearly invisible, and the other is that the custom eye overlays flicker constantly. Is there any way to fix that? is there a setting I'm missing?

Thank you Sildur, but we found the problem. The Betweenlands has its own shader code, and one of their items was breaking depth rendering in shaders. The author patched it today.

Thank you Sildur!!! Been waiting so long for this version (1.25) because of the custom skybox

There seems to be a bug in your Vibrant shaders that turns underwater entities viewed from outside the water appear transparent. This can be seen on mobs, items and chests.

Also, they aren't affected by refraction.

Ignore this. Answered my own question.
