## Hello everyone!
\nI\u2019m excited to share my **Vanilla Shader Project** with you all. I\u2019m still a beginner in the world of programming, but it\u2019s been an incredible journey learning how this works and seeing the results of many hours spent in front of the screen.<\/p>\n

![Village At Night](https:\/\/cdn.modrinth.com\/data\/hXre4kOm\/images\/f0754576be6c5fad09df18f5b0b9835a2d737278.jpeg)<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve just released **Version 2 (V2)**. While it was technically “ready,” I felt it needed some extra polishing (and it still does!). Please keep in mind that there are still plenty of bugs, but I\u2019m committed to fixing them as I learn. <\/p>\n

> **Note:** Currently, it does not support Sodium, but I\u2019m working hard to make that happen soon!<\/p>\n

### \ud83d\udfe2 What\u2019s New in V2
\n* **Toon\/Retro Lighting:** Light sources now feature silhouettes for a stylized, classic game aesthetic.
\n* **Bouncing & Indirect Light:** New mechanics for light accumulation and bounce.
\n* **True Darkness:** Nights are now significantly darker and more atmospheric.<\/p>\n

—<\/p>\n

### 1) What this shader does
\n* **Enhanced Lighting:** Change global illumination and light.
\n* **Diferrent Visuals:** Tweaks colors and contrast.
\n* **Performance is not bad:** Designed to run on mid-range hardware.<\/p>\n

### 2) Why you should try it
\n* **New Feel:** provide a “moody” atmosphere.
\n* **Plug & Play:** No complex installations\u2014it\u2019s a standard resource pack.<\/p>\n

### 3) Critical Info & Compatibility
\n* **Visual Only:** This is a purely aesthetic pack; it does not change gameplay mechanics or add any “cheats.”
\n*
\n* **Feedback Welcome:** Since I\u2019m learning, your feedback is incredibly valuable! Feel free to report bugs or share your thoughts.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
