I don't know my version or loader


Forked from Jaredlll08's Ambient Environment
Applies a noise gradient to places where it probably shouldn't be in to break up repeated surfaces.
Uses the core logic from Ambient Environment but applies it to more places.
- Leaves and Dry leaves can now have a slight yellow-er tint.
* Sand is slightly darker in some spots, which makes deserts look like they have waves in flatter places.
* Lava has dark spots, similar to how it looks in some shaders.
All of this was done by modifying the base methods used in Ambient Environment
Performance
When using render distances above 32 (for example, 64 like I do), this mod can produce small frame drops when loading new chunks, this impact is almost unnoticable as it is combined with regular chunk loading lag at such high distances.
When deactivating biome blending leaves can appear weirdly transparent (this is most likely why the original doesn't do this for leaves), this is only if you have see-through leaves enabled.
Compatibility
This mod should be compatible with all other mods and texture packs that change sand and lava however, due to how tinting works in minecraft the textures may look weird, if you want them to look normal I recommend changing them yourself to be grayscale (also apply a 50% LCh Color layer blend if you want them to fully look like the textures I modified).
Disclaimers
Since the noise works off of position, this mod can leak your cordinates similar to how grass can so be carefull out there
No AI was used, or will ever be used, in the making of this mod, or any of its assets.
