Rakoun: DarkFantasy Visuals Shader für Minecraft 1.20.1, 1.21.1

Dark Fantasy Visuals

V2.6.0 - Atmospheric Clarity

• NEW: Local Contrast - atmospheric legibility overhaul.

Fog, panoramas and high-light scenes keep their detail instead of washing out. Mountain views hit different now. 3 new sliders + debug modes in the Post menu.

• NEW: Procedural Rain Splashes - raindrop impacts are now generated by the shader.

Rings that spawn, expand and distort reflections. Wet surfaces come alive. Replaces the vanilla splash particles. Fully adjustable.

• Improved reflections on wet surfaces.

• Bugfixes from 2.5.0 and earlier.

V.2.5.0 - Lighting Overhaul :

• PBR Support,

• Distant Horizons Support,

• Collored Lights

While most shaders chase photorealism, Rakoun : DarkFantasy Visuals chases a feeling - the one you get walking a medieval street at dusk, when the last light dies behind the ro oftops and the lanterns become your only friends.

Nights that mean something

• Deep, moody darkness - not just "Minecraft but darker"
• Generous pools of golden lantern light that wash over walls and wet cobblestone
• Flames that flicker like real fire, hanging lanterns that sway in the wind
• Dynamic light from the torch in your hand

Rain

• Wet ground with irregular reflective puddles - stone gleams like a mirror, wood darkens, dirt absorbs
• Raindrop ripple rings on water and in puddle reflections
• Water droplets on the screen when you're out in the storm
• Vegetation whipped by storm winds, drifting ground mist between the buildings

Living water

• Procedural waves that actually displace the surface - and never repeat
• Shore foam, depth-based darkening, underwater caustics
• High-precision screen-space reflections on water, glass and wet streets

Signature features you won't find elsewhere

• Procedural block blending - grass bites into paths, moss spills over stone, roads look worn and hand-laid. Every transition is unique, everywhere in the world.
• Ground creep - vegetation climbs the base of pillars and walls, grounding every structure in the landscape.

Modern pipeline

• TAA (temporal anti-aliasing) + cinematic motion blur
• True volumetric light (shadow-map raymarching), god rays, volumetric clouds
• SSAO, auto texture relief, HDR pipeline with ACES tonemapping and auto-exposure
• Optional: depth of field, chromatic aberration, film grain, cinema bars

Requirements

Minecraft 1.20.1

Loader Oculus (Forge) or Iris (Fabric)

Menu languages Français / English

Mod support Vanilla + Oh The Biomes We've Gone lists included; any mod via block tags on Iris 1.7+

Three built-in profiles: Performance / Balanced / Quality - plus every effect individually adjustable in the in-game shader settings.

⚠️ BETA - known limitations

• Screen-space reflections cannot show what is off-screen (inherent SSR limit); an experimental 360° capture option exists in the Water settings
• Nether & End have dedicated but simpler atmospheres (full pass coming)
• TAA slightly softens the image (normal for the technique)

Found a bug? Please attach a screenshot and tell us whether the artifact is fixed in the world, stuck to the screen, or follows the player - it helps enormously.
