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.
