Just a few small tweaks to night fog to make it less thick near the player.
[0.7.2] relumination v0.7.2
by Sandmuel on Oct 13, 2026
Download
Added atmosphere and fog which changes based on time of day (see if you can make it to space! yes, you can exit the atmosphere if you get high enough but this is way above the build limit as to not interfere with the environment of your builds).

by Sandmuel on Oct 13, 2026
Download
Just a quick fix to support certain newer versions of iris. _New versions of iris prevent shaders from naming values 'sample' (due to gpu compatibility)_
[0.7] relumination v0.7
by Sandmuel on Oct 13, 2026
Download
Implemented wavy blocks (waves snap to pixels to provide a blocky feel) and basic bloom.
This update was originally going to include changes to the atmosphere and clouds, but to avoid delaying any further it will be split into the next update.
- The tops of water and lava now wave up and down
- Leaves and other other foliage including vines now wave
- Basic single pass box blur bloom (coming updates should improve this both visually and in performance)
