FAQ

1. "Will this shader work on older or newer Minecraft versions?"

   • Yes! Nolantic is built to be modern and highly compatible. As long as your shader loader (like Iris) runs on your Minecraft version, Nolantic should work perfectly without issues.

2. Q: Why does the Discord Link leads me to HBM Modernized Server? A: The Shader is a Side Work from the HBM Modernized Mod and belongs to the Mod.

3. Q: Why is the Shader Buggy? A: The Shader is currently in Work in Progress and also my First Time making one.

Features

• Cinematic Atmospheric Warmth: Specially tuned light-scattering models that transform ordinary golden hours into a deep, dense, amber-tinted sunset experience.
• Organic Light Bleeding: Low-angle sunlight naturally washes over block edges and terrain, softening harsh pixelated contrasts for a incredibly clean, cinematic look.
• Advanced Volumetric Fog: Thick, realistic low-altitude fog layers that organically catch the color of the sun and scatter light realistically across the horizon.
• Warm Ambient Shadows: No more cold, pitch-black shadow voids. Ambient occlusion and shading are physically tied to the time of day, ensuring shadows retain a rich, warm, realistic bounce-light undertone.
• High-Fidelity Water System: Custom water rendering featuring accurate Fresnel reflections—offering crystalline, deep turquoise depths close up, shifting to a striking, bright gloss at distant viewing angles.
• Dynamic Screen-Space Reflections (SSR): Crisp, real-time reflections on water surfaces and wet materials.
• Smooth Variable Penumbra Shadows: Realistic, soft shadow filtering where edges diffuse naturally based on distance from the light source.
