# HyperShader v1.2 — The Elements Update ❄️🔥🌊✨
Four elements. One update. The world just got more alive — and FANCY got FASTER without losing a single pixel of beauty.
## ❄️ Living Snow — NEW!
- When it snows, the world **freezes over**: blocks get a glistening **frost coat** with tiny ice crystals that **sparkle** as you move 💎
- Snowy skies are now **milky white** instead of rain-gray — snowfall finally *feels* like snowfall
- Smart weather: the shader knows if it's raining or snowing where you stand — rain soaks, snow freezes
## 🔥 Heat Haze — NEW!
- The air **shimmers and trembles** above lava — stand at the edge of a lava lake and *feel* the heat
- Only up close (~20 blocks), like a real heat wave — and the **Nether** is a whole new experience with its lava oceans 🌋
## 🌊 Underwater Light Rays — NEW!
- **Sunbeams pierce the surface** and follow you while diving — pairs beautifully with the caustics from v1.1 🤿
- Physically-minded: rays fade away in deep water and flooded caves
## 🌙 Moon rays — NEW!
- The moon now casts its own **silver-blue light rays** at night — the same silky god rays you love, tuned for moonlight
- **God rays quality maxed by default (16)** in every profile — no profile will lower them anymore
## 🚀 FANCY, now with free FPS
- **Relief mapping (POM) now fades with distance**: identical detail up close, zero cost far away
- New **POM distance slider** and a **"Texture relief" toggle** — pick the look you prefer
## 🌍 The menu now speaks your language
- The shader menu **follows your Minecraft language**: English by default, full Spanish included (es_ES / es_MX)
## ✨ Polish everywhere
- **Nether portals now glow their true vivid purple in the Nether too** — plus the whole Nether gained bloom: lava and glowstone with a warm halo
- Lily pads fully cleaned up: leaf-shaped shadows, no more ghost squares
- Crisper plant shadows, smarter reflections, powder snow rendered solid, ice no longer glows at night... and a dozen more little fixes
**Winter is coming. So is the heat. Update now! ❄️🔥**
