Fancy Lighting

Description
Fancy Lighting improves the quality of lighting by adding a new lighting engine and various shaders.

Features
  • Smooth lighting
  • Ambient occlusion
  • Accurate shadows
  • Improved sky rendering
  • HDR rendering (tone mapped to SDR)
  • Bloom
  • Simulated normal maps
  • Camera mode compatibility

For the best performance, try lowering the in-game resolution to either 1920x1080 or 1920x1200 depending on the aspect ratio of your display.

Occasionally, after launching the game, this mod might not work. This can usually be fixed by restarting the game.

If you are using full HDR rendering and experiencing graphical glitches with other mods, try enabling the settings labeled 'Mod Compatibility Fixes for Full HDRR' and 'Disable HDRR During Boss Fights and Events' in the Preferences config.

Some tiles are tinted when being drawn. For example, pearlstone is tinted pink so that its in-game appearance is more pink than its texture. Smooth lighting supports all vanilla tinted tiles. Modded tinted tiles are not supported.

You may report issues, download old releases, and view the source code on the GitHub repository[github.com].

It appears that this mod has broken, in a very strange way. When you go deep enough, the borders of the window start showing the background instead of black for the blocks, and it doesn't show the level/biome background, it shows the base gradient background for time of day. Disabling and then re-enabling the mod also made it so the entire game crashed and it gave me a crash log after

for anyone having issues with a black or white screen : disable wrath of the meachines , its buggy and conflicts with other mods including this one and infernum.

worked the first time i used it and was amazing, after that i think there was an update or something and it stopped working, and changing the quality settings either made everything pure white, or disappear

I prefer to remove smooth shading and keep pixelated original look with this mod. Combination of vanilla pixelated lighting and shading make image more depth in look (smooth makes all flat, sadly). And with more enchanced lightning system it makes perfect picture. Adding light & shadows, realistic sky (realistic clouds turned off) and atmospheric torches, makes image just perfect.

@Shringe_ that appears to make the problem worse. I don't know why it would make it better because Vulkan usually doesn't have an exponential speedup of that kind, especially on proprietary NVIDIA drivers.
