Spring Shaders (Chun)

The Cloud & Sea Update

1. Added 2D clouds provided by @Coldnight丶冷夜.
2. Adjusted atmospheric effects, including the sky, volumetric clouds, and volumetric fog.
3. Enabling Smooth Parallax will now simultaneously smooth the normal maps of resource packs.
4. Added a third water wave style: Composite Ocean.
5. Tweaked the appearance of the default water waves. Additionally, introduced randomized calmer areas to the water surface for a more diverse and natural look.
6. Adjusted the lighting for translucent objects when Ray Tracing or Colored Lighting is enabled.
7. Added more shader configuration options, along with various other optimizations and tweaks.

Hotfix

1. Fixed bugs related to volumetric fog and cloud shadows.

General Update

1. Added cloud shadows (the effect where ground lighting is blocked by clouds; this can be disabled in the Lighting/Shadows section of the Shader Settings).
2. Adjusted shadow effects to reduce moiré patterns on foliage. Tweaked the Ambient Occlusion (AO) effect: AO no longer affects Global Illumination (GI), resulting in cleaner lighting.
3. Fixed several issues with the original AgX implementation and changed the default tonemapping to AgX. The overall visual style has been altered.
4. Improved the quality of smooth parallax.
5. Fixed a bug in older versions where object surface lighting would disappear when picking up an item. Fixed a bug in older versions where lightning strikes appeared black.
6. Adjusted the rendering of particles and other translucent objects. Lines and item selection outlines are now treated as translucent materials.
7. Tweaked volumetric fog, volumetric clouds, and underwater fog effects. Increased the brightness of the night sky.
8. Added Depth of Field (DoF) edge blur (Experimental feature, disabled by default).
9. Added more customizable options in the Shader Settings.
10. Other minor optimizations and adjustments.

Temporary compatibility for version 26.1

1. Compatibility with version 26.1 requires a newer version of Iris.
2. Thanks to the new architecture, fixed an issue where lighting rendering failed for attached objects, and fixed an issue where lightning appeared solid black.
3. Versions prior to 26.1 remain unchanged, and these issues remain unresolved in those versions.

Routine Update

1. Only minor changes included.
