Eclipse - A Bliss Edit

Bliss is already one of the best and most feature rich shaders out there, yet I still wanted more...
It started out with smaller features, but then the additions just kept piling up.

Notable changes/additions compared to Bliss unstable:

  • Custom moon orbit with possible eclipses
  • Additional cirrus & cumulonimbus cloud layers (WIP)
  • Distant Horizons chunk fading
  • Moon Texture with phases
  • Improved Puddles, Snow Overlay and Rain Ripples
  • Better mod support
  • Better shader-side (hardcoded) emissives
  • Lightsource with shadows on the main end island
  • Rain & thunder cloud coverage and daily weather
  • Much better lightning strikes with clouds lighting up and shadows
  • Rainbows
  • Caelum (Arda Craft) support
  • Emissive Ores

Note: With default settings there is at least one guaranteed eclipse per ingame year.

Eclipses (why else would I call the shader Eclipse??)
