## Visual Effects+ v1.3.0 This update mainly focuses on rebuilding fog, rain, wind, and lens flare effects. ### Volumetric Fog * Completely rebuilt fog fx using GPU particles. * Replaced the old block-based emitters with a unified system centered around the player. * Added separate light and dense fog variants for different biomes. * Particles now follows the terrain heightmap. * Fog color now dynamically follows the current in-game fog color with a slightly brighter tint. * Added smooth lifetime and distance-based fading. * Fog can now remain visible during rain. * Unified fog coverage across most surface biomes and The End. * Volumetric Fog is now enabled by default. ### Rain FX * Converted regular and heavy rain effects to GPU particles. * Added four different rain sprite variants. * Increased rain coverage around the player. * Added smoother fade-in and fade-out. * Improved collision with terrain and roofs using the heightmap. ### Lens Flare * Sun and moon lens flares now smoothly fade in and out when obstructed instead of disappearing instantly ( 1.21.11 only for now ). * Improved visibility detection around the edges of blocks and terrain. * Reduced the intensity of lens ghosts to make the effect less intrusive. * Renamed “Glare shaders” to “Lens flare” in the configuration menu. * The blue moon variant is now selected by default. ### Wind and Ambient Effects * Expanded the wind animation from 30 to 60 frames. * Wind gusts are now larger, softer, and move at a more consistent speed. * Wind can no longer spawn closer than 10 blocks from the player. * Increased the size of light ray particles. * Birds can no longer appear outside the Overworld. ### Tumbleweed * Reworked tumbleweed movement and rolling. * Tumbleweeds can now climb over small obstacles instead of getting stuck. * Added fake collision that gently pushes tumbleweeds away from the player. * Increased their lifetime and improved movement stability. * Reduced the maximum amount from 24 to 12. ### Movement Dust * Reworked running and jumping dust to use player-based emitters. * Improved player tracking and movement detection. * Slightly increased the size of jump dust particles. ### Textures and Colormaps * Updated the moon textures with a cooler blue tone. * Adjusted snowy biome sky sunset colors with cooler blue and cyan transitions. * Updated the fallback grass and foliage color. * Pink petals and wildflowers are no longer affected by the grass colormap. ### Other Changes * Updated internal shader and post-processing structure. * Removed several unused legacy textures and particle definitions.
