• fixed some lights not casting light in all directions when they should

  known issue: setting voxel resolution to 32x32x32 doesn't work

• actually fix "translucent" hand problem
• turn off debug view

• add light block (minecraft:light, not block light emitters in general) support
• fix incomplete pipeline in nether and end (nether is still largely broken because of light overflow near lava lakes, but that is a bug in the pipeline, not a caused by the missing pipeline)
• fix "iris required" screen showing wrong text
• fix some shader option menus
• fix "translucent hand" issue

• reimplement and improve handheld lights
• update to reimagined r2.2

• fix compile error on AMD windows

DISCLAIMER

this version is an alpha release. it is expected to contain many bugs.

hotfix

• fix shading with basic PBR support or per-pixel lighting
• fix a compilation error with default settings

changes

• rewrite the lighting code:
  • increase maximum amount of lights at any given location from 3 to 64
  • bump openGL version from 330 to 430 for compute shader support (this breaks MacOS compatibility)
  • merge shadow volume blocklight shadow mode and basic light propagation
  • add accurate ray tracing (off by default)
  • this allows custom models and mobs to be handled correctly by the ray tracer
  • add denoising
  • remove global illumination (or not implement it again yet)
  • remove interactive water waves (the setting still exists, but does not work)
• Change versioning scheme
  • I would like to publish a full release eventually
