A mod to return the legacy lighting engine/rendering engine from pre 1.15/1.14
#Legacy Lighting/Rendering
ionic ingot
hybrid fox
Pretty much a remove blaze3d mod
midnight star
why?
ionic ingot
Because I miss the old look and feel and even with a rp, I can still feel a difference
midnight star
you're probably better off just playing 1.12.2 then, because porting everything rendering-related to modern minecraft could take 100's to 1000's of hours, and not be compatible with other mods (like sodium or optifine, which you'd definitely want as well)
like what you're asking is a really difficult task for a change that's personal preference at most
ionic ingot
I feel like ever since 1.15, they didnt exactly copy the old rendering when making blaze 3d and there is still a ton of left over things that needed to be changed to match 1.14 and below
midnight star
Do you think you can describe the exact things that are being rendered differently?
ionic ingot
fov, block lighting, inventory lighting
midnight star
all I can remember were the few bugs with banner item lighting in the inventory, but that got sorted out to something decent eventually
ionic ingot
I can feel it the most when mining stone on 1.12 compared to 1.20, something just feels off
also they said they were gonna open source blaze3d but never did
idk if its a hypixel issue exactly, but stairs/slabs dont light properly
midnight star
idk if its a hypixel issue exactly, but stairs/slabs dont light properly
oh like the dark shadow in the cutout section of a stairs block?
ionic ingot
yea
midnight star
yeah that's hypixel, or rather that 1.8.9's lighting system is different than modern. In 1.8.9, the light level within a block is 0, but is rendered with the light level of what's exposed on the side (I think)
