# Luminol Republic - Shade Project
**An atmospheric, warm-toned shader pack for Minecraft Java Edition (Iris), featuring subtle and naturalistic water.**
Shade Project transforms the world with golden illumination, delicate clouds, radiant torchlight and a refined, cinematic colour grade. Its water carries a muted grey-teal hue, so that lakes, rivers and oceans appear authentic rather than excessively vivid.

## Features
- **Water:** sum-of-sines wave simulation, sky reflections, sun glints and fresnel-based transparency, all combined with a subtly desaturated, natural tone
- **Clouds:** procedurally generated clouds illuminated across two layers
- **Godrays:** screen-space radial light shafts that add depth to the atmosphere
- **Shadows:** shadow mapping with 5-tap rotated PCF filtering and a distorted shadow map for improved precision
- **Lighting:** warm, inviting torchlight
- **Foliage:** gently swaying grass and leaves
- **Night sky:** a procedurally generated field of stars
- **Post-processing:** bloom, ACES tonemapping, a warm colour grade and a soft vignette
- **Other dimensions:** the Nether and the End each feature a distinct, purpose-built appearance

## Customising the water
If you would prefer water that is either greyer or bluer, open `shaders/lib/lit.fsh` and locate the line ending in `// grey-ish natural water`. Adjust the final number on that line:
- **`0.25`** produces noticeably greyer water
- **`0.40`** is the default setting
- **`0.55`** produces bluer water
- **`0.70`** approaches the vivid blue of the original
Further settings can be found in `shaders/lib/settings.glsl`.
