## New Features * Alpha tint and chunk fade are now applied to translucent geometry. * The fragment shader for translucent lit geometry has been completely rewritten, and now implements ray traced hand light. Per-pixel light list-based block light is also available with graphics drivers that support subgroup operations and `subgroupBroadcast` with a non-constant index (most common drivers except AMD's for Windows). * The vertex shader implementation of light list-based block light has been removed. * The option to apply a directional multiplier to ambient occlusion has now been added and is enabled by default (works towards [#8](https://github.com/Luracasmus/renderpearl/issues/8)). * A sun path rotation of zero is now allowed (works towards [#12](https://github.com/Luracasmus/renderpearl/issues/12)). * The sizes of celestial bodies can now be configured (works towards [#12](https://github.com/Luracasmus/renderpearl/issues/12)). * End flashes now affect lighting in the end. * Shadow distortion is now configurable and tuned better in the different profiles. ## Improvements * Opaque and translucent lit geometry now share the same rewritten vertex shader and vertex data format for much reduced code duplication. * Light list colors are now manually packed using atomics when 16-bit integers are disabled, halving memory usage. * A slightly faster version of the GGX specular D term is now used when 16-bit floats are disabled. * Lighting-related functions are now shared between shaders for forward and deferred rendering, reducing code duplication. * Emissiveness is now handled slightly better. LabPBR support is still not implemented but planned for a future release. * The shadow bias has been improved, reducing various artifacts such as light leaks. ## Other Changes * The maximum effect of the Ambient Occlusion option has been increased. * The falloff of light list-based block light has been slightly modified. ## Fixed Issues * Extensions may be enabled after actual code. * Translucent geometry is lit incorrectly when rendered before the deferred lighting pass (Closes [#15](https://github.com/Luracasmus/renderpearl/issues/15), Closes [#18](https://github.com/Luracasmus/renderpearl/issues/18), Closes [#19](https://github.com/Luracasmus/renderpearl/issues/19)). * This was caused by some changes in vanilla Minecraft breaking an Iris feature that RenderPearl relied on. * Blending and render targets are sometimes configured incorrectly.
