Better Voxels Shaders (26.2, 1.20.1) – Path Tracing with Colored Lighting

Better Voxels transforms lighting in your Minecraft world with path tracing and realistic shadows. It builds upon the Rethinking Voxels code to bring optimized colored lighting and beautiful reflections to your game without breaking your frame rate.

Features:

• Adds real-time path tracing to make light bounce naturally across blocks and rooms.
• Brings true colored lighting to the game so glowing objects cast their actual colors onto nearby surfaces.
• Works with PBR resource packs to give blocks realistic bumps, shiny metal surfaces, and wet floors.
• Casts sharp, accurate shadows from sunlight, moonlight, and artificial block light sources.
• Creates clear reflections on water, glass, and shiny metallic blocks.
• Runs better than older path-traced packs because it uses heavily optimized rendering code.
• Turns your normal gameplay into perfect scenes for taking high-quality screenshots.
