NLK’s Dynamic Horizons

Dynamic Horizons is the first shader made by NoLifeKing85.

I attempted to make my first shader, took inspiration of the visual cues that many other shaders had, and went with this feature set:

• Shadow-map based on sun/moon position, with support for coloured glass
• Dynamic block light (Like lava flickering and other light sources)
• Raytraced water reflections (Reflections, refractions, waves)
• Improvements to rain, to make it fit the other shader functions (refractions and glint)
• When it rains, the ground gets wet based on the wetness-property, and will occasionally reflect the world around it a bit.
• Reflective materials (ice, metals and ore) (kinda buggy though)
• Foliage that moves (everyone has it, why shouldn’t I?)
• Holding items that emit lights will light up the area around you as well
• Lens droplets (when it rains, some droplets will form on the screen, got some weird bugs with it..)
• Lens flares! (Sorry, but this is not a Transformers movie, but we still got lens flares)
• God Rays (which shader is complete without them? They look so nice!)
• Underwater filter, shows some distortion and different tint to make it feel like you’re under water
• Bloom (well.. it kinda brightens stuff and makes light glow, it looks pretty)
• Storm Grade! (Another weather effect, will darken the screen and remove some colour and add a tint)
• Vignette (I just slapped it on there, because it kinda fitted)

Works with Iris both in NeoForge and Fabric

Note: This does not work well on potato devices.

I tried on my work computer that uses an Intel iGPU, and it could muster 24fps at most..
