🌟 Bloop recently hit 200k downloads! 🌟

It feels like we just hit 100k yesterday — time really flies! I want to extend a heartfelt thank you to everyone who has supported and enjoyed this shader since the beginning. Special thanks to the amazing communities in shaderLabs and the Iris Discord <3.

Thank you again for your continued support. Here’s a nice lil update to celebrate this milestone:

This update is absolutely massive on the inside. Performance should be about the same, but if you are on a very low end device, you might want to try out older builds if this update isn't fast enough C:

The next updates should be more performance than feature focused!

Raspberry Pi 5 Support!

Enable this under Beta settings (you’ll get an error, but it should work).

Massively Improved PBR System

Now properly supports translucent materials, and hard-coded metals!

Beta: Water Fog Density

Adjust the density of water fog to suit your preference.

Beta: Screenspace Shadows Beyond Shadow Range

Extend screenspace shadows for a more immersive experience.

Improved Depth of Field

More accurate settings, chromatic aberrations and new tilt-shift options.

Volumetric Fog Enhancements

Fewer visual glitches and improved overall quality. Customize fog to your liking with time of day and strength options!

Vanilla Sky Color Option

For those who want a more classic look, the sky will be tinted to match the biome

Floodfill Lighting Updates

New option for dynamic lights to interact with it.

SSR Updates

Screen-space reflections now "stick" better to the ground. The reflections look better at lower settings. SSR is generally faster and of a higher quality than before. Vanilla clouds can now reflect when no custom clouds are enabled.

Enhanced Distant Horizons Water Rendering

Closer to normal water, with better blending.

And More!

Including a ton of bug fixes and smaller tweaks I probably forgot!

I hope you enjoy these updates as much as I enjoyed creating them. Here's to more improvements and exciting new features ahead!

Thank you all once again! 💙
