• POM (Parallax Occlusion Mapping).

• Dynamic Colored Lighting / +Ray-Traced block-light shadows.

FAQ

• Q: Why isn't block-lighting being ray traced?
  A: RT is off by default. Either change Block Light > Mode to "Traced", or apply the "RTX" profile.

• Q: How do I make colored/dynamic/traced shadows work further from player/camera?
  A: You can increase the Block Lighting > Advanced > Horizontal/Vertical Bin Counts. Increasing the Bin Size option will also help, but it will reduce the maximum "density" of light sources per area.

• Q: How do I make colored/dynamic/traced shadows faster?
  A: There are several options under Block Lighting > Advanced settings:

  • Reduce the Horizontal/Vertical Bin Counts to reduce the size of the light volume.
  • Reduce the Block Lighting > Advanced > Bin Size to use smaller bins (less blocks per bin).
  • Reduce the maximum number of lights per-bin.
  • Reduce the Range multiplier for lights.
