## Performance
- Solid terrain now skips the transparency test.
- Sun and moon checks for bloom, god rays and lens flare run once per frame instead of once per pixel.
- Vanilla clouds are no longer built when the pack's own clouds are on.
- Cheaper shadow, caustic and Physics Mod ocean maths with the same look.
- Wet surfaces in rain skip a cloud reflection that was barely visible.
## Visuals
- Moving edges are sharper: TAA now follows the nearest surface around each pixel.
- God rays show no cross-hatch pattern.
- Cloud edges glow brighter toward the sun.
- Leaf and grass sheen is stronger at night.
## Fixes
- Cloud shadows over other shadows no longer leave a light band with a bright fringe.
- Fixed black specks inside soft leaf and grass shadows (TAA off, or with Pixel Shadows).
- Fixed the dot pattern along shadow edges with TAA off.
- Cloud shadows now fall on water and mobs.
- Fine Waves and Ripple Strength now work on textured water.
- Fixed a rare stuck bright pixel in TAA.
## Profiles
There are now 10 profiles, colour-coded from red (low quality) to green (high):
Potato, Realistic Balanced, Balanced, **Realistic Recommended (new default)**, Recommended, Alt Style, Realistic Pretty, Pretty, Realistic Max, Max.
- **Realistic profiles:** the same quality as the tier they copy, with natural colours, teal water, no ink outline and no warm shadow edge.
- **Alt Style** (was Pretty Alt Style): now sits before Pretty, with vivid colours and swell-based water.
- **Balanced** drops minor effects (cloud shadows, screen reflections, wet surfaces, caustics and others). Shadow distance 112 → 96.
- **Potato:** cloud shadows off.
- **Recommended:** PBR off by default, and reflections take 2 samples instead of 4.
- **All profiles:** procedural cloud shadows at strength 0.85.
- New Leaf Brightness, Split Tone and water colour options are now part of every profile.
