Solstice Changelog

v1.1

Clouds

• Rebuilt Blocky cloud mode as true 3D boxes: voxel-traced height, lit tops and shaded sides, clouds cast shadows on each other
• New Blocky Cloud Height slider
• Added an About screen and more option tooltips

Nether & End

• Fixed the pack breaking outside the overworld. The dimension folders were incomplete, so terrain, post-processing and final output never ran in the End. Every shader program now runs in all three dimensions
• End: darker violet lighting, aurora ribbons drifting across the sky, stars, and shadows cast from the End's fixed light angle
• Dragon death rays and explosion flashes are pushed into HDR so bloom makes them glow
• Nether: biome-tinted fog that warms toward the lava below and darkens toward the ceiling, a slow haze backdrop that matches the fog color at the horizon, a faint ember glow, and heat shimmer over distant terrain (nearby blocks stay solid)
• New Nether & End options screen: End Aurora toggle and strength slider, Nether Haze, Heat Shimmer

Lava

• Lava surfaces now move: slow molten swells, heavier and slower than water waves, using the shared Wave Strength slider
• Lava is fully emissive with a traveling heat pulse that feeds the bloom pass
• Works in every dimension. Toggle is under Water options as Lava Waves; the Low profile turns it off along with water waves

Fixes

• Removed a duplicate fogColor declaration that stopped the water shader from compiling on strict drivers
• Nether backdrop no longer shows grey smears or a visible seam where distant terrain meets the fog
