1.1.0 — The lighting update

New

• Screen-space bounced light (SSGI). Lit surfaces re-light their surroundings: a red carpet tints the walls, a torch-lit wall glows onto the floor, and bounces feed into each other frame over frame. Rays, steps, strength, temporal blend and clamp are on the GI screen.
• Directional torchlight. Placed torches, lanterns and glowstone now shade surface bumps and normal maps toward the light, so cave walls react to where you put the torch. Flat faces keep their vanilla brightness. Toggle and strength on the LIGHTING screen.
• Light spill in the Nether and the End. Glowstone, lava, shroomlight, magma, campfires, portals and end rods wash light onto their neighbours, and emitters and ores in those dimensions carry their own glow.

Changed

• Nether and End fog is now relative to render distance, so the void beyond loaded chunks no longer stands as a wall of fog colour.
• The LOW profile skips texture fetches it was paying for without using.
• Placed water in the End reads as a visible teal rather than near-black.

Fixed

• The first frames after a load or reload no longer blend uninitialised TAA, cloud and SSGI history.
• SSGI rays no longer treat a distant surface as a hit, which painted lava colour onto far walls that could not see the lava.

Note

SSGI needs nine colour targets, so 1.1.0 does not run on macOS (the driver caps at eight). Windows and Linux are unaffected.
