alt text Dark Fantasy Volumetric Shaders (DFVS) is a work-in-progress shaderspack with strong volumetric and medieval appeal.

Features:

  • Volumetric fog and godrays
  • Path Tracing
  • PBR Support
  • Water caustics

The shaders work on older versions of Minecraft, such as 1.8.9, but they require the most recent OptiFine releases. Testing for the newer 26.x versions is still pending.

I named the project "Loreleth Shaders." I was waiting for a few more fixes before releasing it, but since it’s already usable across several versions of Minecraft, I decided to go ahead and release it, even though it’s not yet complete. I will, however, continue working on the shaders.
