Luculent Shaders (26.3, 1.20.1) – Colored Lighting and Multi-Bounce Global Illumination

Luculent Shaders lights up your game world with realistic skies and softer environmental lighting. The shader adds volumetric clouds that cast clear shadows across hills and forests. It also brings colored light sources, gentle water effects, and wet weather details to everyday exploration. Blocks gain rough glossy shines and reflect nearby light without completely mirroring the surroundings.

Features:

• Colored Local Lighting: Torches, lanterns, and glow blocks cast distinct colored light onto surrounding surfaces.
• Multi-Bounce Global Illumination: Bounces light between blocks to softly brighten dark areas.
• Volumetric Cloud Shadows: Generates thick 3D clouds that cast actual shadows across the terrain.
• LabPBR Compatibility: Works with LabPBR resource packs to display surface roughness and metallic shine.
• Adds wind movement that sways leaves, tall grass, and crops.
• Includes water refraction, transparency adjustments, and underwater light shafts.
• Shows rain streaks along with ripples and puddles on the ground during storms.
• Applies glossy highlights to smooth materials and metals based on texture direction.
• Offers Low, Mid, High, and Ultra quality presets to adjust detail levels.
• Lets you tweak colored lighting, rain puddles, and water wave strength in the settings.
