Changes
📜 Achromatopsia v0.2.3
🎨 Visual & Color Calibration
- Minecraft-Tailored Luminance Matrix:
- Re-calibrated the monochromatic conversion matrix to specifically complement Minecraft's lighting model and color palettes.
- Boosted Red channel weight (0.35) to ensure warm light sources like torches, lantern fire, and lava provide clear visibility in dark environments.
- Lifted Blue channel weight (0.20) to preserve the depth of skyboxes, water bodies, and lapis textures, preventing them from washing out into flat gray.
- Balanced Green channel weight (0.45) to tone down over-saturated foliage, creating a harmonized grayscale environment.
🌓 Dynamic Range & Contrast Tuning
- Shadow & Midtone Protection:
- Integrated a subtle gamma adjustment and lift factor (
powcurve) to eliminate the "muddy gray" haze in midtones without crushing underground shadow details into pure blackness. - Dramatically improves gameplay readability during night cycles and cave exploration while keeping the high-contrast aesthetic intact.
💡 Developer Note: Achromatopsia is renewing itself! Version 0.2.3 represents a refined step towards making a purely monochromatic resource pack feel both visually stunning and fully playable. By shifting away from standard sRGB conversion formulas toward a custom matrix designed specifically for Minecraft's lighting engine, we've solved the issue of unreadable pitch-black caves and washed-out skies. Enjoy a sleek, cinematic grayscale experience without sacrificing functional visibility!
