# Firmament 0.3
**Richer colour, calmer light.** Firmament no longer looks as if the brightness
were turned all the way up: colours stay saturated, daylight has contrast, and
nights, caves, the Nether and the End keep their mood.
- **New tone curve:** a hue-preserving filmic curve keeps mid-grey where it
belongs. Sunlit sand and blossoms keep their colour instead of fading to
white; only real highlights such as the sun roll off to white.
- **Juicier colour, not neon:** vibrance lifts sky, sand, blossoms and grass,
while snow stays white and already vivid colours stay natural.
- **Eye adaptation:** centre-weighted metering, and dark scenes are no longer
lifted to daylight brightness. Bloom only comes from truly bright light.
- **Sky:** a deep blue sky with a blue horizon, warm twilight bands, a sun halo,
moon phases, twinkling stars and an optional Milky Way.
- **Morning mist:** low fog in valleys and over water at sunrise (optional).
- **Clouds:** white sunlit tops over grey bases.
- **Light:** torches and lanterns fall off naturally from golden to amber, and
lava stays orange.
- **Nether and End:** relit. The Nether is dark and deep instead of a glowing red
wall; the End island has shape instead of a flat white surface.
- **Rain** falls as grey streaks.
- **New settings:** Eye adaptation, Contrast, Vibrance, White balance, Vignette,
Sharpening, Morning mist and Milky Way, in English and Russian.
The same 29 Minecraft Java versions as 0.22: **1.18.2**; **1.19, 1.19.1,

26.1.2, 26.2 and 26.3**. The new gallery was rendered in Minecraft
**1.21.1 / NeoForge 21.1.228 / Iris 1.8.12 / Sodium 0.6.13** on the High preset.
Known: after reloading chunks with F3+A, shadows of blocks outside your view
appear once you look at them. Iris only builds chunks the camera sees.
Use the Iris and Sodium builds matching your Minecraft version; 26.2 and 26.3
target the OpenGL renderer. Keep the ZIP intact, place it in `shaderpacks`, and
select Firmament in Iris. Start with High and adjust the preset for your setup.
From 0.3 Firmament is licensed under the MDFL 1.0; 0.10 to 0.22 stay MIT.
