v1.3 — Directional torch shadows
What's new
- Directional torch shadows — the shader estimates the light direction from the block light falloff gradient and ray-marches the depth buffer toward the source: blocks next to torches now cast visible shadows on the ground, pointing away from the light
- New settings under Shadows & Light Shafts: Torch Shadows (Directional) toggle and Torch Shadow Strength slider (0.25–1.0), wired into all 13 presets
- Pack file renamed to
Lost_Tape_vX.X.zip
Notes
- Torch shadows are a screen-space effect: they only come from geometry currently visible on screen, and there is deliberately no shadow under uniform light (e.g. glowstone ceilings)
- If you're updating from v1.2 and want to keep your tweaked settings, rename
shaderpacks/LOST_TAPE_v1.2.zip.txt(orLost_Tape_v1.2.zip.txt) toLost_Tape_v1.3.zip.txt
Requirements
