This version is incompatible with configs made for previous versions. Please reset your shader settings after updating!!!
Color options
- All the options relating to colors have been moved to the new "Colors" tab
- In this tab, you can select predefined color schemes to easily change the way your game looks!
- There are only three available for now: Default, Vanilla and Choc v7
- I plan to add one color scheme per major update from now on
- Color sliders are now relative to the selected color scheme. This was a necessary change to make color schemes work within the limitations of the optifine pipeline.
Better Anti-Aliasing
- Added SMAA, an advanced anti-aliasing method that leaves the image sharper than the other methods that were present in Mellow
- It is used by default in the "Fabulous" preset, alongside "Denoise only" TAA
- FXAA has been removed, since it doesn't have any upsides over SMAA
