Stracciatella

A very lightweight vanilla style shader with colored lights. Focuses on adding some nice features that go hand in hand with vanilla. It is highly configurable and lets you craft your own personal vanilla experience.

Feature Highlights

Colored Lighting

Stracciatella adds multi-lightsource colored lighting to Minecraft with excellent performance. Light emitting blocks glow bright and tint and shade the environment.

Beautiful Distance Fog

The Overworld and the Nether have highly optimized volumetric-like fog effects that look especially beautiful with Distant Horizons, such as dynamic fog based on height aswell as patches of dense fog that sweep the landscape.

Many Bells and Whistles

Stracciatella is packed with many subtle but important visual improvements and quality of life features that improve Minecraft's look, such as rain refraction, puddles, shooting stars and much, much more!

Configurable

Make it yours! Stracciatella puts you in the driver's seat. All of Stracciatellas effects are highly customisable, so you can dial in the look exactly as you like it.

Full Feature List

Fog and Sky

Fog - OFF, Border, Auto, Advanced
Border:
Simple, comparable to vanilla
Auto:
Enables "Advanced" fog when Distant Horizons is present
Advanced:
Border fog aswell as configurable exponential distance and height based fog
Advanced Fog

  Density of constant Overworld fog
  Relative to "Global Density"

  - Height Scale Multiplier
    Multiplier applied to the scale factor used to calculate height fog
    Higher values correspond to a harsher density falloff
  - Height Density Multiplier
    Multiplier applied to the density calculated from world height
  - Dynamic Density Start Height
    Fog density starts to increase with player height after the selected world height
    Set to the default value, this acts as a correctional factor to keep the fog density (visually) constant
  - Dynamic Density Multiplier
    Controls how much player height influences fog density
  - Anisotropic Sunset Fog
    Fog density at sunset and sunrise increases more in direction of the sun
  - Sunset Fog Anisotropy

Lighting

Lightmap - Simple, Default
Default:
All Features
Simple:
Reduced features (only "Adaptive Blocklight Reduction" and "Minimum Light")
Lightmap Settings
- Skylight AO
  Specifies the amount of ambient occlusion on skylight
- Blocklight AO
  Specifies the amount of ambient occlusion on blocklight
- Skylight Gamma
  Higher = Darker
  Lower = Brighter
- Blocklight Gamma
  Higher = Darker
  Lower = Brighter
- Minimum Light
  Restricts blocklight to never go below this value
  Prevents caves from being pitch black (unless you set it to zero that is)
Lightmap Colors
- Adaptive Blocklight Reduction
  Reduces blocklight when the sky is bright to avoid clipping
  If the blocklight is too bright during daytime, increase this slider
- Nether Ambient Brightness
- End Ambient Light
  - End Ambient Brightness
  - End Ambient Saturation
- Skylight Day (RGB Color Picker)
- Skylight Night (RGB Color Picker)
- Blocklight (RGB Color Picker)
  Select blocklight color (torches, glowstone, etc.)
  If "Complex Blocklight" is enabled, this color will NOT be used
- Complex Blocklight
  Allows you to select two colors for blocklight
  One for dark parts, one for bright parts
- Blend Curve
  Higher: Emphasize "Bright" color
  Lower: Emphasize "Dark" color
  50 = linear transition
- Complex Blocklight Dark (RGB Color Picker)
- Complex Blocklight Bright (RGB Color Picker)
Colored Lights
Enabled colored lighting on blocks
Colored Light Settings
- Vibrance
- Accumulation Rejection - Low, Default, High
  Sets how temporal history information is discarded
  Higher corresponds to history being discarded more easily
- Acc. Blend Factor
  Sets how temporal history information is merged with new information
  A lower value places less emphasis on history and will cause colors to update faster at the cost of more flicker
- Flicker Reduction
  Increase this slider if you experience frequent spots of color blinking into existence
  Higher values will decrease the speed at which new color spreads and appears
- Acc. Regeneration Speed
  Sets how fast empty regions (with no color information) are filled up
  A high value will cause colors to appear faster initially, but may introduce flicker in disoccluded regions
- Sample LOD Bias
  Controls the detail level at which colors are sampled
  A higher value will make colors smoother but may cause small lights to be skipped
  A lower value will sample at higher detail but will decrease smoothness and introduce flicker
  The shader does its best to calculate the appropriate LOD itself
Directional Lightmaps
Directional Lightmap Strength
Normals - Generated, Texture
Normals Resolution Multiplier
Auto-Generated Normals may have a different resolution than your resource pack
This slider allows you to select a higher resolution for the normals
No performance impact
