MAGE (Graphical Tweaks)

Description

MAGE - Mildly Advanced Graphics Extensions - is a mod devoted specifically to extending the graphical customizability and capablities of Minecraft. It is, as such, client-side-only.

Please note that the mod is in a very early stage of development and that the following list of features and supported versions is subject to growth, change, etc.

Features:

• (0.2.0+) Smooth water - fixes smooth lighting issues inside liquids and on the surface of water. Also its own mod.
• (0.2.0+, WIP) Partial support for MCPatcher's resource pack "Custom Colors" functionality.
• MCPatcher-compatible custom lightmaps; allows you to use resource packs such as "Pixel Reality: Luminance" without OptiFine.
• Optional "true darkness" tweak - configurable, works with custom lightmaps and non-vanilla worlds.
• For developers: most of the hooks the mod uses for graphics tweaks are exposed as an API, which means you're free to provide custom implementations as part of your mod.

Supported MCPatcher features:

• Custom Colors (potions, text, redstone, pumpkin/melon stems, pine/birch)
• Custom Lightmaps

As I understand, the mod does not impact client-side performance visibly (and any future performance-sensitive functionality will become configurable). I think it is fine to include in a modpack by default.

What means Verified?

• Compatibility: The mod should be compatible with the latest version of Minecraft and be clearly labeled with its supported versions.
• Functionality: The mod should work as advertised and not cause any game-breaking bugs or crashes.
• Security: The mod should not contain any malicious code or attempts to steal personal information.
• Performance: The mod should not cause a significant decrease in the game's performance, such as by causing lag or reducing frame rates.
• Originality: The mod should be original and not a copy of someone else's work.
• Up-to-date: The mod should be regularly updated to fix bugs, improve performance, and maintain compatibility with the latest version of Minecraft.
• Support: The mod should have an active developer who provides support and troubleshooting assistance to users.
• License: The mod should be released under a clear and open source license that allows others to use, modify, and redistribute the code.
