Ok, I am trying to do some work on 'Just Colored Lighting' shader this week, and polish it up. I am wondering if anyone would want me to try to create a newer hybrid of it and Icarus. Basically like Pegasus 2.0. The Pegasus shaders did not grow well, but the original idea was to be icarus without the expensive lighting, just moving features over after they had matured and were better optimized....

2025-10-03 21:43:38 +0000 UTC View PostOk now that you all have the lens flares what do you think? By default they are on, but the star shaped flares are off. I think they are too bright right now, but I haven't settled on a good strength yet. You get to decide! Should they even be on at all? (Pick as many as you want)

I spent the last week or 2 working on all the shaders I tend to not focus on as much to try to get back into the swing of things, and now that I feel like I'm there, I want to use this opportunity to ask what everyone would like me to focus on, before I get hyperfocused on a certain feature set.

My computer stopped working, and then my old computer decided to break too. It's going to take me a bit to figure out what's wrong and get going again. I am hopeful to still get something else done for July, but we'll just have to see how it goes. I have some parts coming and an waiting on delivery,...

I want to finalize this improvement to the colored lighting shader this week, and then port the system into Pegasus early this May.
It does a lot with block light while still being very very fast.
It will be a bit of a mess porting it, so I want to keep it separate while I work on it and not just put it on modrinth, so that I can still handle bug reports for the core version.

As of August 2025, the HD version of my resource pack is free.

Greatly reduced noise on rough shiny things, but this may introduce some smearing on some resource packs. I am going to completely redo denoising and temporal accumulation January
