Better Voxels

Big Immersive Effects & Space Zoom Moon Update

• New Effects Tab: Added a dedicated Effects menu hosting seven independent modules, each with its own toggle and settings screen.
• Space Zoom Moon: Zooming past a configurable FOV threshold fires a timed focus pull — the moon defocuses, an exposure flash blows out the disc to mask the hand-over, and a 4K lunar photo resolves in its place. Separate Blur In Time / Blur Out Time speeds in 0.1 s steps, which swap roles on the way back out. Disc size, brightness, bloom and sky darkening are all adjustable, and the phase terminator is matched to the pack's own moon.
• Exposure Spike: Simulated eye adaptation to sudden brightness. Lightning now attenuates with distance (Linear / Exponential / Inverse Square falloff) instead of flashing at full strength across the whole map.
• Screen Rain & Dirt: Water droplets on the camera with a real lifecycle — spawn, growth and evaporation timings in seconds, a burst on surfacing from water, and drying while under shelter.
• Lens Fogging, Light Halos & Heat Wave Distortion: Lens fog driven by camera motion, cold and humidity; anamorphic halos with chromatic dispersion around bright sources; and heat shimmer above hot blocks and desert biomes.
• **Smooth Time Transition:**moved into Effects with its speed slider beside the toggle. Smooths /time set, bed sleep and dimension changes into a cinematic glide instead of a snap.
• Foliage Physics Fixes: Grass and foliage no longer jitter — the entity push is now purely distance-based instead of differencing camera position frame to frame, which was inherently noisy. Leaves no longer react to the player at all (only grass, flowers and low foliage do), plants stop swaying indoors and underground, and the displacement is excluded from the shadow pass, where moving geometry was leaking into the shadow map as grid-like noise and extra darkening on the ground.
• Two New Profiles: Added Potato (every setting bottomed out for maximum FPS) and ULTRA MAX (every quality knob, feature and PBR option at its ceiling). The stock Rethinking Voxels High tier returns alongside High+, and all eight profiles are now self-contained — switching between them no longer leaves settings stranded from the previous one.
• Cloud & Atmosphere Fixes: Clouds no longer wash out to white as you climb above the deck, and lost their blue cast at night. Weather now clears above the cloud layer — sky, sunlight and rain all respond to altitude.
