Hi there! It is time for the second snapshot for 26.4, featuring improved render distance fog, a new celestial occluder, and a fresh redesign of the F3 screen.
Happy mining!
Changes
- When "Improved Transparency" is on, sky background and clouds that are behind the terrain are now blended into the terrain render distance fog making the boundary between the sky and the terrain invisible
- In the Overworld, the bottom half of the skybox is now occluding the celestial objects such as the sun, the moon and the stars
UI
- The debug overlay (F3 by default) has been redesigned to be easier to read and understand
Technical Changes
- The Data Pack version is now 122.1
- The Resource Pack version is now 99.0
Data Pack Version 122.1
New Environment Attributes
minecraft:visual/has_sky_occluder
Determines whether the sky occluder is enabled for the environment. The sky occluder will occlude the sky box up until a certain angle with fog color with a smooth occlusion border.
- Value type: boolean
- Default value: true for the Overworld, false for the Nether and the End
- Interpolated: no
Predicates
Added below_heightmap:
Checks if the height of the position is below a given heightmap value.
Format:
- heightmap: Heightmap type to compare origin against
Resource Pack Version 99.0
Shaders & Post-process Effects
- screenquad.vsh was renamed to screentriangle.vsh since it was actually representing a single triangle for a while now
Changes for the "Improved Fog" feature that is controlled by the "Improved Transparency" video setting
- Removed OIT (Order-Independent Transparency, controlled by "Improved Transparency" video setting) support from the clouds.fsh, since it is now used to render clouds when OIT is off and to render clouds to an offscreen target when OIT is on
- Added blit_clouds.fsh shader with OIT support that renders clouds from an offscreen target to OIT targets
New Shaders for the Sky Occlusion
- Added sky_occluder.vsh and sky_occluder.fsh shaders which are used to occlude the sky box up until the certain angle with fog color with a smooth occlusion border
