HyperShader v1.1.0 — The Living Weather Update 🌧️⚡

The biggest update yet: the world now REACTS to the weather, the water got a massive glow-up, and shadows went from "nice" to "wait, is that MY shadow?!" — all while staying butter-smooth on low-end PCs. 🥔💨

🌧️ Living Weather — NEW!

• The world gets soaked when it rains: blocks darken and glisten, and puddles form on open ground with real sky reflections and sparkling raindrops 💦
• Raindrops ripple the water surface while the storm lasts
• Cloud shadows drift across the terrain — and they match the exact clouds above your head ☁️
• Full storm mood: overcast gray sky, muted sunlight and gray fog while it rains — the whole world feels the weather
• A rainbow 🌈 appears right after the rain stops... and slowly fades away
• Lightning flashes light up the sky AND the terrain for a split second ⚡

🌊 Water 2.0

• Caustics: dancing threads of light on the bottom — from the surface and while diving 🤿
• Refraction: the underwater world bends and wobbles through the waves
• Foam hugging shores and edges
• Reflections rebuilt: no more streaky artifacts, smooth fade at screen edges, and longer reach at the same FPS cost

🌑 Shadows: fixed & sharper

• Fixed the diagonal stripe artifacts (shadow acne) on sunlit blocks
• Shadows are now so clean that your own character casts a crisp, visible shadow — it was always there, now it finally looks right 👤
• Shadow resolution and distance are now adjustable in-game (up to 3072!) — pick your balance of crisp vs. fast

✨ Comfort & Extras

• FXAA — smooth edges, nearly free 📐
• Profiles: FAST / BALANCED / FANCY — one click to match your PC 🥔➡️🚀
• Dynamic hand light: your torch lights the way in the Overworld, the Nether and the End 🔦
• Twinkling stars — every star flickers with its own rhythm 🌟
• God rays raised to quality 12 by default — silky light shafts in every profile

🎛️ More control than ever

• New WEATHER tab in the shader menu: toggle every rain effect individually
• 6 new sliders: puddle amount, cloud shadow darkness, caustics, refraction, hand light and rainbow intensity
• As always: EVERY effect can be tuned or turned off in-game — you are in full control

Update now and go dance in the rain! ☔
