# Release 1.4
## Shadow Rewrite
So, you know how PCSS is an option in the shader settings? Turned out it never actually worked. Anyway, now it does. This also fixes an issue where edges on some blocks would be darkened. Shadows should also appear generally softer.
## Transparent Entity Support
Transparent entities now render correctly. This fixes issues with blocks like banners and player heads as well.
## Performance
The shader should now run better
## Other Stuff
- Improved rendering of water behind translucents
