Minecraft light chasing light and shadow kappa-shader multiple versions

Minecraft raytracing kappa-shader is a Minecraft shading pack designed to achieve a realistic look. Here we provide you with multiple different versions of kappa-shader light and shadow packages to meet your needs.

What is kappa-shader?

kappa-shader is a Minecraft shading pack designed to achieve an authentic look. It doesn't use physically accurate values ​​and equations like many other packages.

Instead, it's tuned to reproduce what you can observe in nature while still using a lot of precise calculations, which often involves more than just equations describing most phenomena.

kappa-shader has won unanimous praise from players since its official launch. There are more than a dozen different updated versions from 1.0 to 4.2, and each version will have new content updates.

The latest version is kappa-shader 4.2 version updated in March 2022.

Improved nighttime slightly brighter and more balanced, emission is visible on screen Nighttime emission looks less exaggerated and blinding

Slightly adjusted dynamic fog density

Reduced overall fog meter scattering to make fog look less gray and hazy

Clouds now respect planet/atmosphere curvature

Overhaul of atmospheric horizon and planet surface visuals to produce a more reasonable and realistic view Clouds feel more "embedded" in the atmosphere in the horizon area Planet surfaces are now loosely approximated to fill in areas below the horizon that would otherwise be dark
