Graphics Showcases

[cedar stream]

I downloaded a texture pack

[wintry lodge]

oh

[left marten]

Like any regular cubemap

Assuming you know how to make those

[wintry lodge]

i made a panorama

[outer lava]

so its just a normal cubemap basically?

[wintry lodge]

im just not sure which folder it would end up in

[left marten]

So far, yea

[gaunt sorrel]

Here me out. The brightness depends on the atmosphere parameters

[wintry lodge]

hm i also feel like the custom skybox though kinda kills the whole point of the atmosphere scattering and stuff

[outer lava]

ah, well thats still pretty cool

[civic basin]

It's cool but I don't have any cool cubemaps to use so I'll just not use them.

[cedar stream]

nooo why is this happening

[civic basin]

You can animate those?

[gaunt sorrel]

I don't think that's an animation

[civic basin]

Material maybe?

Would've been cool if we can change skyboxes on the time of day

[wintry lodge]

see thats what i want

time of day changes

if we cant do that

im not using one

[outer lava]

||thats kinda what i was hoping for when seeing deferred support, but oh well||

[civic basin]

We all want that so bad, but it seems that they are focused to handle these things on the server. I don't know why, but we ain't getting molang support for Deferred :(

[wintry lodge]

WOAH

the ibl reflections to reflect custom skyboxes

thats kinda cool

[civic basin]

I mean, expected.

[wintry lodge]

idk, for some reason i thought it wouldnt work

[gaunt sorrel]

Awesome

[cedar stream]

Woah

[wintry lodge]

well i do wanna learn how to make my own

so i probably still will. but sucks it always has to be active and not ONLY at night like i wanted

[maiden grove]

Can you try using your start screen cubemap here

See if you can notice any seams

Hopefully not, but if you do that means deferred cubemaps are flawed like vanilla, slightly offset. Someone will have to make a script to reproject them to correct for that, or just wait for mojang to fix it

[gaunt sorrel]

Oh that would look interesting

[wintry lodge]

i was just about to do that

gimme like 10-20 minutes

[gaunt sorrel]

5, and more

[civic basin]

I hate that line but whatever. Part of the texture I found online.

[gaunt sorrel]

But the seam does indicate that the cube map is still placed wrong

It should show up higher

[civic basin]

That line is in the middle of the texture too, so I really don't know lol.

[gaunt sorrel]

Oh, it's in the middle? nvm then

[cedar stream]

Huh I don’t get that line

But I do get an annoying flashing black screen

Even without cubemaps

[civic basin]

Because that line is part of the texture I found online

I would need to find a site somewhere online that has proper skybox textures. They are in panaromas but I found a site that splits them for cubemaps

[wintry lodge]

@maiden grove

[left marten]

[wintry lodge]

the seams are in the same spots that they are in the actual panorama

oh nevermind i can see a literal box around the whole thing

[left marten]

I was fooled for a second lmao

[lone nest]

Lmao

[wintry lodge]

rtx skybox go brrrrrrr

[left marten]

[gaunt sorrel]

same

[wintry lodge]

oh yea theres some bad seams in here

the reflection looks really cool though

[lone nest]

Lol yeah

[left marten]

Fake ssr lmao

[wintry lodge]

real

[gaunt sorrel]

Oh, sure, nevermind the warping. The seams are the main issue

[maiden grove]

Waiiit what if u go to the same location

[left marten]

[wintry lodge]

hmmm ill find the seed

[maiden grove]

Besided seams, does skybox perspective seem off to you?

[wintry lodge]

not really

it looks near identical to the panorama

[left marten]

Hey veka, I had a question. Do the new deferred cubemaps still rely on legacycubemap materials?

[maiden grove]

Could you try flying up in the sky, make fov 90 and take a screenshot with camera command, as if you were making a cubemap. This will tell us whether cubemap perspective is right or not

[maiden grove]

There's LegacyCubemapForwardPBR yeah

[left marten]

Ahh i see

[wintry lodge]

ok one thing im learning

the cubemap

is ghosty

really ghosty

[maiden grove]

but there is also CubemapHDRi material ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[left marten]

Would that be for the ibl reflections?

[wintry lodge]

it seems about correct

cubemap 0 here and is where i rotated to

[left marten]

Lol

[wintry lodge]

wait i forgot 90 fov

[maiden grove]

Also try going higher so that there's no terrain visible

[left marten]

Lol imagine using RTX sky in deferred

[wintry lodge]

i could do that lol

[left marten]

[wintry lodge]

i have 400 fps rn

[left marten]

[cedar stream]

I thought that was actually better rtx for a second

[wintry lodge]

lmao ive successfully trolled some people

[left marten]

[maiden grove]

Is that looking directly forward 0 degrees using camera command?

[cedar stream]

Fake ssr

[wintry lodge]

yes

[maiden grove]

ok yeah cubemaps are broken in deferred as well then

[cedar stream]

Someone please tell me there’s a fix to this

It’s getting worse minute by minute

[maiden grove]

This seam shouldn't be visible when looking directly forward with 90 fov, it should match with the lower part of the screen while the seam on top would match with the top screen border

[wintry lodge]

i see

[maiden grove]

It breaks cubemap illusion

[civic basin]

Would've been really dope if we could get skyboxes in the end. AFAIK end sky is just 1 texture.

[wintry lodge]

default cubemap

yeah yk tbh... not really gonna mess with this feature

[cedar stream]

I am

If that stupid annoying Screen flashing would stop

I think we got an iOS bug

[wintry lodge]

i mean... if i can get the legacy java cubemap i might use that for legacy pbr

but idk

[cedar stream]

Like mail shadow

[civic basin]

I see no use for this feature unless I can change it based on the time of day, but oh well.

[left marten]

I would have liked to have seen animated cubemaps ngl

[cedar stream]

Guess I’ll be the only one using it then

[civic basin]

That too.

[left marten]

Enjoy the daytime sky box throughout the night

:p

[cedar stream]

Actually

[wintry lodge]

yep this. i only wanted a night time skybox. thats it

[cedar stream]

I found one that changes at night

[wintry lodge]

i dont want an aurora during the day lol

[cedar stream]

Well kinda

But I need this fixed it still does it without cubemaps applied

[wintry lodge]

my phone hasnt updated so i cant confirm this as an issue for ios

[left marten]

Yeah not cool

[wintry lodge]

uhhhhhhhhhhhhh

[left marten]

Wuh the hel

[wintry lodge]

and my ground is shiny

[left marten]

[wintry lodge]

this is terrible

[maiden grove]

Try turning off upscaling

[wintry lodge]

and my performance is beyond cooked

idk what happened to all my pbr here either

its just gone

permananent wet floors

disabling upscaling didnt do anything

[maiden grove]

Someone spilled the bucket of bugs

[wintry lodge]

hoping this isnt some wacky ios 18 issue and an actual game bug 😭

although idk how ios 18 would completely delete my pbr

[cedar stream]

I’ve been trying to tell you

Wait pbr don’t work now?

[wintry lodge]

i just dont understand how pbr is just... gone

[cedar stream]

And now point lights don’t work

Deferred on iOS is broken now

[rancid zodiac]

huhhh

whats happening

[wintry lodge]

ios is borked

[cedar stream]

Deferred on iOS is severely broken

Screen keeps flashing

[wintry lodge]

screen flickering, no pbr

[cedar stream]

No pbr

And now there’s no point lights

[wintry lodge]

very sus game moment

and people are saying deferred should come to stable already...

[cedar stream]

But hey skye graphics + deferred looks very good

[maiden grove]

aaj while you are here, not sure if you know that but cubemaps are slightly offset up and have incorrect perspective. This is the case in vanilla as well

[cedar stream]

Yes

Hasn’t it always been like that tho?

[wintry lodge]

bugs like this are a prime example of why it should stay in preview until its perfectly cooked and ready to go. (dont take this as im knocking or hating on the devs cuz im not. this is the game dev cycle stuff unintentionally breaks really badly especially with heavily incomplete and beta software)

[lost rock]

and it's our mission to try and test the newly introduced features to preview and give feedback so we can get to a solution before the final release

[wintry lodge]

yup

[cedar stream]

Yes that way people can have a bugless deferred release

[cedar stream]

Plagued pbr + double layer clouds

[cedar stream]

Realistic clouds in deferred

[gaunt sorrel]

How does look at night

[cedar stream]

Eh

Not too bad but also not great

Btw

You can make cloud cubemaps like these but make it compatible with the deferred sky

It’s been done in normal mc graphics

The only thing you have to do is make the background of the cubemap pngs black

Bro who is giving me skull emoji on every message I send

[cedar stream]

@civic basin Skye graphics fixes noontime in your pack

No more grey sky

[civic basin]

Fun fact: My sky was normal on the no heightmap preset

[wintry lodge]

Really?

That's interesting

[civic basin]

I focus more there because I don't like heightmaps.

[rancid zodiac]

ughhhh

iOS borked cant experience

[cedar stream]

@wintry lodge super duper graphics pack remake

[wintry lodge]

Nice

[rancid zodiac]

woah

[grizzled wagon]

Preview 1.21.10.24/Preview 1.21.20.21

[rancid zodiac]

now thats a pointlight

[cedar stream]

If only iOS deferred didn’t break

[lone nest]

Android too

[wintry lodge]

Mobile is broken lol

[lone nest]

yes

[wintry lodge]

The point lights

[lone nest]

🍞

[wintry lodge]

They were too much

[lone nest]

making the screen go black

[cedar stream]

Yes

Unfortunately I don’t think there will be a preview next week to fix it

Cause of Independence Day

And then I won’t be here the week after that

Cause I will be at a camp all week without my phone

[wintry lodge]

We may get one but considering the bedrock teams main building I'm pretty sure is in the US, it may be unlikely. Who knows

[vast sandal]

strawberry deferred beta 7 with plagued pbr

[rancid zodiac]

this pointlight update was what strawberry kinda needed

the contrast made like super dark spots and this lighting helps to like

counteract that

GI would help too

[wintry lodge]

Honestly this update is what deferred needed as a whole

[maiden grove]

Now we just need reflections and GI

[lone nest]

yes

[maiden grove]

And shader support

[lone nest]

especially that

I'm looking forward to the item pbr

[grizzled wagon]

Thought we had reflections already?

[maiden grove]

Terrain reflections I mean

SSR

[civic basin]

Just a campfire

[wintry lodge]

Very nice

Feels cozy

It looks incredible

[wet slate]

lava fog

very cool thank you mojang

hol up is texture set working for candles?

nope 😦

[left marten]

[wet slate]

also why tf is sun color linked to horizon color

bruh

so it like avoids illuminance color like 75% and 25% blends into horizon color and produce the sun color

also the game is reporting that it doesn't accept more that value 1 in horizon blend stop start
but it does works

[civic basin]

#1182091012177399809 message

[wet slate]

do you mean that this is not inteded bc the linked msg only seems to be about underground fog values

[civic basin]

Might be all values but we'll see.

[wet slate]

welp

[wet slate]

ehm how what why to do with endsky

[left marten]

Wuh

[civic basin]

End sky is just 1 texture. I don't think you can add a cubemap to the end sky unless I'm wrong? I will try later.

And yea, the end sky is like 1 texture that repeats.

[wet slate]

yeah i saw this at night while i was gonna sleep and thought it was possible
i am shook and shattered
#1255913471250534411 message

[civic basin]

That's Java.

Better End mod.

[gaunt sorrel]

Time to ask for skybox support in the end

[wet slate]

hold up

[civic basin]

does not work

just tested

[gaunt sorrel]

Imagine if each biome can have their own cube map

[wintry lodge]

That would actually be sick for snowy biomes

You could like make those have an aurora and stuff (some Java shaders do that)

I don't imagine that being a very easy task to implement though

[wet slate]

flipbooks animations for cube maps everyone?

[wintry lodge]

Animated cubemaps would be great

[maiden grove]

My favourite screenshots of a spectral path tracing RTX shader

[lone nest]

looks nice

[mellow inlet]

These look amazing

[left marten]

very nice

although the clouds are a bit jagged, it looks decent

[wintry lodge]

Cubemaps in general are kinda cursed

[left marten]

the transparency is pretty abrupt tho ngl

[wintry lodge]

But more features is always a plus

[left marten]

true

[wintry lodge]

Just having the ability to customize if you want is always nice

[cedar stream]

Cubemaps in bedrock need to be fixed

And look more like Java

[cedar stream]

I think mojang is gonna cook and give cubemaps a big upgrade

[cedar stream]

So we can make animated cubemaps

[wintry lodge]

Imma make the most realistic cubemap. Using actual pictures of the sky

[cedar stream]

And ones for day and night

And not looking square

[wintry lodge]

this will look god awful

[maiden grove]

Idk about that, cubemap flipbooks would need to take up a lot of memory, to have a reasonable resolution and framerate

[left marten]

this ☝️

[wintry lodge]

Honestly I don't intend on using the cubemap feature but I do intend on making the dumbest, most memey cubemaps possible lol

Just have a little silly fun with the feature

[gaunt sorrel]

Realistically you should only make a few frames and let them interpolate with the time of day

[maiden grove]

Linear interpolation would suck, you'd have to make your own custom interpolation function with molang, and we already know that's not going to happen

Actually a keyframe timeline approach might work

[gaunt sorrel]

That's what I was thinking

[wet slate]

"cubemap_0" : {
 0.0: "noon_1"
 0.1:  "offnoon_1"
}```
?

[wet slate]

hmm

nvm this looks so bad for night

[gaunt sorrel]

What if it's more transparent?

[wet slate]

hmm

for day time here

50% transparent

[wet slate]

the sky box reflection issues is now worse with cubemaps

[civic basin]

One of Nasa's Deep Star Maps as a skybox. (That's what they call them)

[lost rock]

wow stars at daytime

[wet slate]

plot twist: they are asteroids coming at you💀

anyone having this fog issue again

the fog just gets too foggy and it slow return back to normal

[civic basin]

It only does that when it stopped raining.

[wet slate]

but there was no rain or atleast none i can see of

[wintry lodge]

Woah

That actually looks crazy

[wintry lodge]

volumetric point lights

[left marten]

woah

that looks nice

[wintry lodge]

its honestly one of the best changes theyve added so far

[left marten]

absolutely

[wintry lodge]

fog disabled for comparison

[left marten]

wowie

thats a difference and a half

[wintry lodge]

yea

cinematic preset

[civic basin]

Some more :3

[civic basin]

Ooooo

[wintry lodge]

stop making me wanna add a custom skybox 😭

idek what id use

[wintry lodge]

quick skybox i drew in photoshop for fun

this may become an actual thing but actually polished

[vast sandal]

spread of light through fog over a long distance

[wintry lodge]

drawing up a cartooney kinda sky

[wet slate]

I am lost asf

[wet slate]

nice ref btw

[wintry lodge]

thanks

i just idk how i feel about this

its not done its still an early concept

[wet slate]

i mean like the shadows are lacking but if you bake the shadows in it should be good to go

[wintry lodge]

i was also thinking about using noise filters and such and creating realistic clouds but idk

[wet slate]

i am not gonna do the the whole cubemap skybox bc of two issues
box issues and reflections bug

[wet slate]

eh

[wintry lodge]

but i also really wanna make a pixel art style sky

everybody goes for realism

[wet slate]

you gotta use 2048 textures then

[wintry lodge]

(i wouldnt include this in the main pack it would 100% be an addon)

[wet slate]

just do like + packs

[wintry lodge]

yeah i dont wanna add a custom sky to my pack directly tbh

[wet slate]

same or like a sub pack

[wintry lodge]

oh my game crashed upon tabbing back in

[civic basin]

Oh! BTW, the image I use here is at 4k resolution, and split into different "square" textures using a pretty cool site I found.

[wintry lodge]

oh interesting

[wet slate]

which site

i been using cubeintosphere but it ain't really working for me

[civic basin]

This is the site. It can't do transparent ones sadly

[wintry lodge]

hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm interesting

[wet slate]

thanks

i use this but it can't do the transparent either
https://cubethesphere.software.informer.com/

[maiden grove]

Someone (possibly me) should also make a website to correct for broken perspective of bedrock cubemaps

At least if it doesn't get fixed

[civic basin]

Negative saturation I think

LOL

[wet slate]

poggy thanks

i need to stop using lq pics lol

[mellow inlet]

That’s amazing

When Preview?

Mojang devs are off for the weekend, so it is unlikely to be preview day my dudes

When do Previews usually happen?

Previews usually occur on a Wednesday or Thursday between <t:1703692800:t> and <t:1703700000:t>

Obsidian Deferred is working well

[rancid zodiac]

BARE BONES DEFERRED PBR

my dream

[wet slate]

SSS showcase
No Emissives
Can't wait for this to get added properly

unlit texture with sss on lit block

[wet slate]

also like SSS just works for all the parts of texture even if mer has half as full opaque and half is 80% transparent it doesn't matter the whole texture has SSS

[wet slate]

right is SSS with 1 emissive and left is SSS but no Emissive

[grizzled wagon]

They need to fix ACES emissive textures because reinhard luma excels at that

[wet slate]

i thought that was intended

wtf
no emissive SSS vs emissive no SSS

[wet slate]

enderchest with SSS no emissive

this one's better

[gaunt sorrel]

It's like it's glowing from the inside

[wet slate]

technically it is glowing from the inside cuz point's lights are in the block

[maiden grove]

The downside of using SSS instead of emissive is that other light sources will also shine through the block

[wet slate]

yeah it just made me realized that when i used 0 emissive with sss on frog lights
light cancel the SSS out

[wet slate]

In a swamp
would've loved fireflies with some emissives

[wintry lodge]

small collection of what i worked on today

[mellow inlet]

Some stuff I worked on today
(Oversaturated froglights and new iron blocks)

[wintry lodge]

Trial chambers

[civic basin]

Been a while but I am working on a config edit for my pack. Will release when it's ready and where I want it to be. This is also really early on.

[wintry lodge]

Very pretty

Nice

[wintry lodge]

Some PBR cuz why not

[wintry lodge]

Some more

Copper grates aren't perfect. Tbh need some more work. Not sure if it's in the heightmap or something else though

[rancid zodiac]

yoo pbrrrr

[rancid zodiac]

yooo blackwater

[wet slate]

unholy water be like

is this too dark for water

[wintry lodge]

Holy moly

[rancid zodiac]

all looking insane

deferred got breathed new life again

[left marten]

[knotty badge]

WHAT

They added the water stuff???

I am glad

[left marten]

[ripe island]

this is bug

[knotty badge]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-cat-meme-cat-staring-cat-stare-stop-staring-at-me-please-gif-9315292369693569596

Keep that bug pls 🙏🏼

It makes the water sm better or atleast idk add an option 😭

[mellow inlet]

Devs cooking with this update

Water overhaul as well too!?

[left marten]

Posting this again for ya

[mellow inlet]

Apparently water is absurdly data-driven, so I’m curious what that means

I’ll have to check later today

[wintry lodge]

Not yet

But it will be

Lots of options

We'll have control on algae levels and lots of other cool stuff

[mellow inlet]

I wonder if this accidentally affects RTX like the global.json file did

probably not, but still

[left marten]

[rancid zodiac]

me likey

[left marten]

[rancid zodiac]

nether has also got more interesting

though i actually hit sub 10fps now in bastion remnants

tho maybe my fault for turning everything ultra, no upscaling, 24 RD, 8 SD, 100% bloom, except medium fog

but at the same time, i didn’t crash

[wintry lodge]

(emissives havent been adapted to deferred yet)

[placid willow]

Prizma deferred

[knotty badge]

Pls keep the foam on the sides mojang

[wet slate]

item pbr is effed still and new missing texture of spyglass just dropped which was previously invisible

[ripe island]

it's buggy sometimes

[maiden grove]

It also probably uses fog color, so if u have crazy colorful fog, it may not look that good

[wet slate]

problem is that this is emissive 1 and is effed
the mer values don't work only providing pngs work
i made the whole mer png 1 green and some bits are not emissive

[knotty badge]

Makes water look so much more beautiful tho

Normally it looks boring

[ripe island]

💅

idk but it looks like ssr is not working on items in first person

[wet slate]

what is it supposed to reflect?
you?

[ripe island]

it can reflect this side of the world

I know it can't reflect much, but I still feel like it should reflect something

[wet slate]

how about on a armor stand

it should work but yeah first person ssr is effed

[ripe island]

it "works" in third person

but I feel like it should reflect something in first person, there is still a lot on screen stuff to reflect

[wintry lodge]

Considering SSR isn't affected by handheld items, they are just completely skipped in the rendering. Would be nice to see it added though

[wet slate]

wth i just made this 255 red and it's glowing

does the format version needs to be like 1.21,20 or smth?

[wintry lodge]

https://tenor.com/view/darth-vader-lightsaber-obi-wan-kenobi-star-wars-sith-gif-25841882

[ripe island]

they glow for me even without pbr

[wet slate]

wth is this issue

[ripe island]

swords and pickaxe have this bug

[wintry lodge]

My flint and steel will sometimes just start reflecting clouds or glow brighter than a nuclear bomb

[ripe island]

but not always, sometimes only

[wet slate]

yeah nah item pbr is effed

I saw that sisilicon

[split plover]

I can't see velometric point light
How i can fix it?

[rancid zodiac]

get a different gpu or wait

[ripe island]

i have a way to fix it

turn off your phone

and go outside

it will look better than any deferred pack

[split plover]

Mail gpu bug?

[gaunt sorrel]

Where is that white light coming from?

Is it block light?

[wintry lodge]

the white color on the water? thats a part of that white edge bug

now with fog

using nearly 20 gigs of ram and 8gigs of vram. kinda crazy

i have an idea

[rancid zodiac]

woah 16.8 fps

[wintry lodge]

how does 8 sound

64 chunks ultra settings (fog off for reflection clarity)

infinite point light range with light clustering amount set to 1000

[rancid zodiac]

woah

[wintry lodge]

increased point light farplane distance within the light clustering json. this is getting insane

[wintry lodge]

last one. native 4K 64 chunks

a glorious 3 fps

[left marten]

Very nice

You're doing the reflections justice

They have great potential

That's currently being neutered by the excessive consideration of fog in the reflection and the very small reflection ranges

Hopefully they improve upon this in the next preview

[vast sandal]

Thank

[wet slate]

messing with ssr

[left marten]

[wet slate]

this is better

excuse me what?
it seems first person overlays are broken

[wet slate]

SSS the goat 💪

[maiden grove]

On the other hand, copper us supposed to be metallic, and you can't have both metalness and sss

[wet slate]

I really wanted point lights affecting the light blocks it self
but it's either emissive 1 or sss so i picked sss

[maiden grove]

I think we just needed a better GI technique, so that light source blocks can be illuminated by surrounding bounced light, including its own.

[wet slate]

yup that's what i was trying to say self illumination
so i have to fake it till they make it

[gaunt sorrel]

I prefer the other one

[silk ore]

same vibes (but it's really beatiful)

[lone nest]

Lmao

[wet slate]

look at the difference

[wintry lodge]

4K ultra settings (bad spot for fog)

[gaunt sorrel]

It actually looks really really nice. One of the best screenshots yet

[wintry lodge]

Ik it looks oddly good

[ripe island]

i need to try 4k

[lone nest]

It would be nice if there was a way to make the shadows sharper

[cedar stream]

Where did you get that cloud cubemap

Luminous dreams ssr + skye graphics cubemap

[rancid zodiac]

4k honestly raises it up a tier singlehandedly

[thick gulch]

The purest reflections

[wet slate]

water bug

[vast sandal]

Strawberry Deferred HDR P2

[wintry lodge]

Quartz

[split plover]

Velometric point light?

[lone nest]

That's been added

[civic basin]

I don't know what I did but I think broke water. Anyway enjoy this cherry biome with my new lighting stuff.

[grizzled wagon]

Usually leaving the world with deferred on and rejoining fixes water

[ripe island]

deferred with normalmaps feels much better

[gaunt sorrel]

Uhh

[ripe island]

i made it for rtx not deferred

[gaunt sorrel]

That's not what... nvm 😅

[rancid zodiac]

woahhhh

deferred in 1440p

[wintry lodge]

yea i always play in 1440p

[rancid zodiac]

woah so green

[wintry lodge]

i might lean it closer to white

like a whitish green

[rancid zodiac]

woah so humid

[wintry lodge]

almost done with 1.21 block support

theres so many 😭

[grizzled wagon]

It helps chipping away while it was experimental

[wintry lodge]

definitely, wouldve gone by much easier if i jumped on it then

[rancid zodiac]

ok this is rtx right

[gaunt sorrel]

Lol no

[wintry lodge]

Yeah it's not this is deferred

[grizzled wagon]

I think it's time to enforce this guidelines then eh? 😅

[rancid zodiac]

whats this then

i probably should’ve replied to which one i meant

:doggysmurkW:

[wintry lodge]

That's RTX yea

I thought you meant the most recently posted stuff

[rancid zodiac]

im silly but not that silly

[civic basin]

Fish, pond and Cherry Grove - Deferred

[left marten]

[civic basin]

Naturally generated custom pond for my Cherry Grove improvement, in Deferred :3

[rancid zodiac]

if 1.17 ponds were buffed:

[wet slate]

finally i got this rtx effect i wanted

[civic basin]

Updated birch forest in Deferred.

[cedar stream]

[wintry lodge]

There is something about this screenshot that's so good. I can't figure out why it looks so good to me though

[left marten]

ambience

[wintry lodge]

probably

[left marten]

great

[knotty badge]

that's really gorgeous

[ripe island]

old

new

[ripe island]

RTX

Deferred

[wintry lodge]

RTX looks so overexposed

[knotty badge]

ugle vanilla rtx

[silk ore]

Deferred really needs a Sky update

[ripe island]

wdym? it looks good

[silk ore]

Meh not everytime I think

But yes on this screenshot it's good

[ripe island]

i like mine

[silk ore]

The opposite of the sun

[ripe island]

wait

[ripe island]

the black part of the sky is still there, but it doesn't look that bad

[silk ore]

Not so bad

But could be better / more customizable to choose if you want it or not

[ripe island]

I did everything possible 🤷‍♀️

at least the rest of the sky looks great and I managed to hide it a bit more

[wintry lodge]

Sky looks fine imo. Idk

[ripe island]

they are talking about black part of the sky

[wintry lodge]

Ah

My reading skills are not with me today

The black spot in the sky fix works a lot better with fog off

For some reason having fog on brings it back

[silk ore]

So this is why I said that*, like the recent water update

[ripe island]

it's not a fix, because it is still there, just a little less visible

[ripe island]

rather a bug fix, not a big sky update

[silk ore]

Ah

[left marten]

[mellow inlet]

sexy.

[lone bone]

are those both deffered?

[mental spoke]

[mental spoke]

Yes

[lone bone]

I can rest in peace

And in happiness

[ripe island]

Yes

[ripe island]

😎

[mental spoke]

Not until I get a new device that supports Deferred

[civic basin]

Nothing special. Just a bridge. A bridge with some brighter illuminance values. It's a nice bridge. This bridge is good quality. Best bridge. My favorite bridge. Bridge.

[left marten]

Bridge

quite the bridge indeed

[left marten]

nice

[knotty badge]

Still on the newest stable version i assume those don't have the water changes yet

[rancid zodiac]

how the nether is shaping up with every setting to the max

[rancid zodiac]

just realized i can try to do this again but with the new game mode

let’s see how it does

[gaunt sorrel]

new game mode?

[rancid zodiac]

i mean the iOS Game Mode specifically

does exactly what it sounds like plus lower airpods delay & lower controller latency

though unfortunately it looks like it does not activate for minecraft preview

only for regular minecraft

[knotty badge]

I am actually beginning to like Deferred, the nights are so much better than RTX, same with the lighting and glass

[mellow inlet]

glass?????

RTX Glass goes crazy compared to deferred

[knotty badge]

Every rtx pack i used made the glass very dark and blocked all light that wouldve gone into the room

So i prefer Deferred even tho its less realistic, i dont need a dark caveroom😭

[knotty badge]

less translucent would be better fitting

With fogs?

One message removed from a suspended account.

[knotty badge]

Hmmm take a look at some deferred packs and see if that suits you

[knotty badge]

such as this

[grim wren]

One message removed from a suspended account.

[wintry lodge]

No screen tints aren't possible

The best we have is colored volumetric fog

[grim wren]

One message removed from a suspended account.

[wintry lodge]

Yeah it's in the fog in resource packs docs

Hold on

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/minecraft/creator/documents/foginresourcepacks?view=minecraft-bedrock-stable

There's a section here titled volumetric fog

[wintry lodge]

after some testing, i found an issue which resulted in my night sky being darker than intended, i have now corrected this and honestly looks fairly good after some tweaks

(please note the issue was in my pack and not a game issue)

also added a very small MIE scattering value to the moon to give it a little extra punch

[rancid zodiac]

woah

[wintry lodge]

some nice shots i got from some maps i downloaded

[wet slate]

they gotta fix the bug with brewing stand not having light source of 1
this preventing me from having insane brewing stand

Better on Bedrock jungle x deferred

Probably the best looking i have ever seen the game

[knotty badge]

Is the ambience from Better on Bedrock?

And is that Poggys pack?

[wintry lodge]

Yes

[wintry lodge]

No

It's a wip update of my pack

[knotty badge]

Ohh

Can you share it with me per DM a friend of mine wants to try it out

[knotty badge]

Oh nice

[wintry lodge]

Alright

Updated mesa fog and orange sand pbr + colors

Old

[civic basin]

Yes. Not public yet.

[knotty badge]

[wintry lodge]

Accidental Bob overhauled leak whoops

[knotty badge]

Did the FPS slider get removed?

My pc just legit overheated lmao

[wintry lodge]

Idk

[wintry lodge]

rainy day

[wet slate]

sss on cave vines

[wintry lodge]

Updated general color maps to be more vibrant than before. Vibrancy is about 20% less than vanilla but 60% more than before. Also redid Savana fog

[left marten]

[left marten]

[wet slate]

sss on enchanting/enchantment table

[wet slate]

sss no emissive

this look clean

[mellow inlet]

This looks crazy for Deferred

[left marten]

real

[wet slate]

Yeah especially with the fog
The point light vol fog is what really bright this to life

Can't wait for points lights for custom blocks 🙏

[wintry lodge]

Fire, that paper lantern that [redacted] made is so fire

[pastel thicket]

Hmmm I wonder who made those

[wintry lodge]

Yea

Hmmmmm

They did a good job though fr

[left marten]

Heighmap

[ripe island]

what? :0

[left marten]

[ripe island]

🤫

[thick gulch]

Anime po... se.

[ripe island]

What

[left marten]

[wintry lodge]

finally achieved the atmosphere ive been going for with taigas. only took a few months

[ripe island]

i love this 🥹

does SSS work on entities?

i need to test it on her

[wintry lodge]

it says it does in the docs

[ripe island]

:0

[left marten]

that would be sick

[gaunt sorrel]

Hmm is there any other light emitting block that renders with entities you can test this on?

[wintry lodge]

ive got some ideas

hold on lemme cook

[lone nest]

List of blocks?

forgot about this one

[left marten]

[wintry lodge]

ok this is gonna take a while

[lone nest]

Is it just me, or did it change the color of the shadow

[wintry lodge]

hehe it works

[lone nest]

W

[wintry lodge]

it only really applied to the arms

but is pretty cool

[wintry lodge]

sss my beloved

[rancid zodiac]

does it work on flowers and grass

[wintry lodge]

yea

i just havent done them yet

but you can see it on that mini grass in front of the pink flowers

i put SSS on the warden lmao

[left marten]

[rancid zodiac]

very useful feature that we will see in the vanilla game all the time

[ripe island]

entity SSS 🥹

[wintry lodge]

to add to that lol

[wintry lodge]

wheat sss

[left marten]

Nice

[wet slate]

I forgot to mention this
but thank you devs for fixing this

[ripe island]

i hate this change

[cursive geyser]

You can't please everyone 🤷‍♂️

[wet slate]

you may hate it but it's a good change

this will fix future misunderstandings for new comers

[rancid zodiac]

subsurface scattering polar bear? is this even minecraft anymore

[vast sandal]

preview strawberry v1 beta 8.5

[wet slate]

is the bloom on 100% in these screen shots

[vast sandal]

sorry forgot to reduce bloom

new color grading "Nostalgia", texture: prizma

[wet slate]

no it's okay just wondering

[vast sandal]

Ok

[wet slate]

Added the ability to data-drive emissive desaturation in the Deferred Technical Preview. See updated documentation on the Creator portal for more information

how do we do this

[grizzled wagon]

Read the docs?

[civic basin]

It's simple

[wet slate]

oh shit it's in lighting custmization not color grading

[wet slate]

🔥no emissive no texture change only sss

[gaunt sorrel]

It looks nice, but does it look ok under sunlight

[wet slate]

damn

i forgot about that

it looks bad

I realy need to get control of exposure

the sky gets so dark

[pure lagoon]

I LOVE this shot. The SSS makes them look soft.

[ripe island]

💖☺️

[lost rock]

like marshmallows

[wintry lodge]

Was there a reason to put SSS on this dude? Nope but does it look cool? Yes

I'll have to see how this looks in an ancient city with all the like lanterns and stuff

[pure lagoon]

Looks so good!

Everyone's screenshots are getting so good!!!

[civic basin]

wip

[left marten]

very nice

[rancid zodiac]

subsurface scattering bark

[left marten]

the sky looks great

[wintry lodge]

thanks

[rancid zodiac]

cook guys cook

preview week tomorrow?

:doggysmurkW:

[wintry lodge]

[wintry lodge]

redoing daytime sky a little

[rancid zodiac]

which is old and new

[wintry lodge]

Both are the same just with and without fog

I haven't settled on if I like the old horizon better or not

This is the old

I also have some well needed fog changes I'm looking to cook up. The current fog jsut absorbs too much

But that's for another time cuz it's stupidly late for me rn and I need my sleep

[wintry lodge]

poggy and I are working on a major overhaul to LuminousDreams. This includes redone sky colors, redone sun colors, major overhaul of most fogs and much more

feedback is appreciated

[wintry lodge]

we are cooking big time here

[left marten]

massive W

[wintry lodge]

for sure, very happy to be able to contribute to a project like LD, Poggy has been great to work with and cant wait to get the rest of LD Overhauled out within the coming days/weeks

[left marten]

nice

[grizzled wagon]

The torch being white light is an interesting choice

[wintry lodge]

gonna be changing point lights around

super focused on atmospherics right now

[left marten]

i thought that was just blown out :P

[wintry lodge]

nope the point light is currently white

[left marten]

needs a tiny bit of tweaking on the grade

[left marten]

i see

[wintry lodge]

i plan to redo the emissive textures as well

[left marten]

cool

deferred looks so crisp in 1440p

[wintry lodge]

indeed

[left marten]

1080p is kinda the limit where the upscaling starts to mess with the quality/visibility of fine textures

anything below that just looks bad

[wintry lodge]

i constructed a quite accurate sunlight keyframe thing that looks really good

lemme find the video

[left marten]

:o

[wintry lodge]

this was before we redid the sky

but if you pay attention to the speculars, youll see how the color changes

[left marten]

yeah looks pretty nice

[wintry lodge]

i plan to add this to my own pack. i spent too much time on it not too

[left marten]

btw, isnt the height based fog a bit low (in terms of its height)

[wintry lodge]

it is fairly low

ngl i forgot to change it

[left marten]

just standing on a tree shows you the entire fog line

[wintry lodge]

i did for the rest of them

[left marten]

ah i see

[wintry lodge]

most of the max density goes up to 82 ish blocks. i think roofed forest has 64

[left marten]

hmm

[wintry lodge]

this is just a preview anyway

we got more plans, or at least i have more plans

[left marten]

[civic basin]

<3

[civic basin]

Color Grading? Yea, I plan to redo that.

[civic basin]

I did this since most roofed biomes you'll get is on flat terrain. I also did this so you can see the sky.

[wintry lodge]

Yep. Makes sense cuz I did that in my pack too.

[civic basin]

Sunset & Sunrise. Still a wip. (I modified shadow stuff.. oopsie)

[wintry lodge]

Thoughts?
