Softbound

A work-in-progress Minecraft shader pack written in GLSL. The pack adds custom lighting and post-processing effects, with a focus on soft shadows, contact shading, and reflective water.

Current effects

• Directional sunlight with shadow-map shadows and soft filtering.
• Screen-space ambient occlusion for subtle contact shading.
• Water reflections using screen-space ray marching, with a sky and sunlight fallback when a screen-space reflection is unavailable.
• Air, water, and lava fog.
• Gamma conversion in the final pass.
• Shader passes for terrain, entities, the player’s hand, sky, clouds, weather, and other common render layers.
