🚀 What's New in v3.0 (Changelog)

🏜️ 1. True Desert Dynamics & Blocky Tumbleweeds

• Minecraft-Style Tumbleweeds: A brand new immersive feature! Yellow-tinted, tangled blocky bush balls now spawn, bounce, and roll naturally across Deserts, Badlands, and Savannas based on wind direction. Features independent ground-shadow casting and dynamic block-pattern rotation that updates perfectly as it rolls.
• Desert Mirage Simulation: Experience intense noon heat waves inside dry biomes featuring a shimmering horizon plane that mirrors the sky to simulate high-temperature air distortions.
• Jungle & Swamp Haze: Unique humid green atmospheric fog properties mapped perfectly to tropical marsh and jungle environments.

🌌 2. Advanced Sky & Post-Processing Enhancements

• Dynamic Sky Enhancements: The Overworld, Nether, and End skies now blend colors more smoothly than ever before. Horizon gradients transition seamlessly into distant fog layers without hard edges or flat color bands.
• Cloud Shadows: Soft, realistic shifting shadows cast onto the terrain surface by daylight cloud coverage maps.
• Epic Horizon Blends: A glowing, intense orange-pink light bar wraps around the lower world borders during daylight sun state changes (Sunrises and Sunsets).
• Twinkling Star Systems: Rebuilt dark-sky star maps featuring localized, realistic blue and orange colored stars that twinkle softly based on game time.

🔮 3. Full Three-Dimension Overhaul

• The Nether (/shaders/world-1/): Completely independent biome custom coloring structures! Warped Forests, Crimson Forests, and Basalt Deltas now feature distinct ambient lighting setups and custom unique atmospheres.
• The End Sky Upgrade (/shaders/world1/): The End dimension sky maps have been completely rebuilt using deep cosmic purple-blue color codes and an animated, soft moving Aurora system.

🌊 4. Cinematic Weather & Visual Physics

• Bioluminescent Ocean Waves: Shifting sea waves now glow with an organic neon blue-green luminescence layer during dark ocean nights.
• Realistic Weather Effects: High-altitude mountain mist arrays, angled wind-blown raindrops, glistening wet tree leaf specular maps, and organic puddle ripples.
• Cave Depth Fog: Subterranean deep cave structures fade naturally into a cold, realistic low-contrast low-light mist.

🧟 5. Emissive Mob Systems & Lighting Engine

• Bloom-Enhanced Eyes: Enderman, Ender Dragon, Spiders, Phantoms, and the Warden feature specialized emissive eye parameters that puncture cleanly through complete darkness.
• Glow Surfaces: Blaze rods, Magma Cube cores, Glow Squids, Allays, Vexes, and raw XP Orbs illuminate their direct surroundings via standalone emissive color filters.

🎨 6. Ultimate Customization Engine: "MAKE YOUR BIOME"

An advanced color configuration tab added to the absolute top row of the main shader options menu (Default: OFF). Toggle it on to customize four major world profiles based on climate values:

1. Hot and Dry (Desert, Savanna, Badlands)
2. Hot and Wet (Jungle, Swamp)
3. Cold and Snowy (Snowy Tundra, Ice Peaks)
4. Normal (Plains, Forest)

• Mix standalone RGB color channels to manually tint the Sky, Terrain, Horizon Fog, Sun, and Moon maps!

🛠️ Code Optimizations & Bug Fixes

• Visual Cleanup: Completely removed large blinding underwater bubble grids, floating void dust clusters inside the End, and firefly/embers inside the Nether for maximum screen space clarity.
• Dry Sandstorm Adjustments: Dry desert sandstorms now register smoothly during clear weather setups instead of waiting on active world rain variables. (Biomes FX > Dust In Clear Weather - Default: 0.4)
