R T S illuminates your world with simulated global illumination techniques. This shader pack calculates realistic light paths directly within the game engine instead of relying on basic rasterization. It keeps the fantasy vanilla feel while updating how sunlight and shadows interact across the terrain. Blocks catch and bounce light naturally to give every build a clean, bright look.
Features:
- Global Illumination: Simulates realistic light bounces across surfaces and surrounding blocks.
- Calculates accurate light paths in real time inside the game engine.
- Preserves the classic vanilla and fantasy aesthetic while updating lighting models.
- Replaces simple rasterization methods with advanced lighting calculations.
- Improves depth across terrain, caves, and player structures.
