PlunderPixels Shader Vivid v1.4

Minecraft 26.2, runs on OptiFine and Iris.

New

• Seasonal foliage. Leaves, grass and ferns shift through the year on the in-game calendar (no mod needed): spring green, summer lush, autumn gold, a cool dormant winter, then back around. Spruce stays evergreen all year and birch turns its own bright yellow-gold. A season-cycle preview toggle rolls through all four seasons on a short loop for screenshots and video.
• Depth of field. A gentle auto-focus blur that softens the far distance. Off by default, with live strength and quality sliders in Shader Options.
• Rain wetness (off by default, opt in). Exposed ground darkens and picks up a wet sheen as it rains, then dries gradually after it stops, sky-gated so roofed areas stay dry. Brings puddles that pool on flat open ground, a wet base blend that sits grass into the ground it grows from, and a slow live shimmer on wet PBR blocks.

Fixed

• Sugar cane now sways as one stiff, cohesive stalk. It used to break apart with each block drifting on its own; a tall cane now leans as a single connected piece.

Editions

All three editions are free and share the same engine, differing only in colour grade and water tint:

• Golden Hour — warm and dreamy, perpetual golden light.
• Vivid — bright and punchy, boosted colour and stronger godrays.
• Legacy — the original 1.7 look, with the modern galaxies and underwater light shafts.
