# Methane 3.4.0 A new update to Methane has arrived! This update brings one big, **new** feature! ## Dynamic Shading Methane has _(yet another)_ update to the way it deals with light (or I guess, doesn't). With the new system, **the brightness of the world now corresponds to the time-of-day ingame.** This update also means that Methane can arbitrarily change the brightness of blocks ingame in accordance to your "brightness" slider. Of course, **you can opt-out of using this feature,** and also use this alongside the Legacy lighting engine. **Known issue with Dynamic Shading:** Mobs and BlockEntities **will not react to lighting.** This isn't too bad with the in-game brightness slider at 100%, but at lower brightnesses, it can be a bit jarring. ## Other changes: - Added warning for starlight users. - _slightly_ improved performance. - Methane now rebuilds chunks every 20 seconds when dynamic shading is on. The further "optimization" from methane should counteract any performance loss. - Added Dynamic Shading as a config option. As with any large update, **some stuff might break.** In the case that something does... **[Please make an issue on the tracker!](https://github.com/AnOpenSauceDev/Methane-mod/issues)**
