Sonic Ethers PTGI E6 (Ray Tracing Shaders)

• Redesigned GI noise filter which can now handle a wide range of light source intensity
  
• Redesigned reflection noise filter withmuchmore noise-killing power!
  
• Ray traced reflections now look much more consistent and similar to sunlight specular highlights (should make texture artists' lives much easier!)
  
• (Subjectively) better overall appearance when running the game at lower resolutions
  
• Fixed rendering of stained glass in hand
  
• Added support for 1k and 2k resolution resource packs
  
• Jack o' lanterns, sea lanterns, fire, and redstone torches now contribute to GI lighting
  
• Added Raytracing Options > Simpler GI Sky Model option
  
• Added Raytracing Options > Secondary GI Samples option
  
• Removed GI Responsiveness and GI Filter Quality options, they aren't integrated into the new GI filter yet. New default "responsiveness" similar to GI Responsiveness 2
  
• Screen-space reflection and GI tracing are OFF by default
  
• Full Raytrace Reflections is OFF by default
  
• Fixed Sunlight Leak Fix not removing reflection leaks
  
• Added Lighting & Shadows Options > Block Light Intensity option
  
• Added Lighting & Shadows Options > Torch Light Intensity option
  
• Removed shader options that didn't do anything
  
• Added Texture Resolution option to the main page of the shader options (since it's important to set it!)
  
• Surfaces with normal maps can no longer have impossible angles to them (surface pointing away from observer), helps a lot with reflections
  
• Improved GI stability on surfaces seen at a grazing angle
  
• Smooth auto-exposure (finally)! Fixes flickering when swinging tool/weapon and other brightness stability problems
  
• Night lighting adjustments
  
• Night time "blue filter", simulates how the human eye sees low intensity light
  
• Fixes for TAA artifacts on hand
  
• Improved frame rate when Raytraing Options > Full Raytrace Reflections is OFF (frame rate is about the same when it's ON and you're using a resource pack with specular maps)
  
• Fixed flickering artifacts that were caused by Screen-Space Reflection Tracing at grazing angles
  
• Normal maps ("bump mapping") much more visible in path traced GI
  
• Much more stable path traced GI on surfaces with normal maps
  
• Fail-safe code added to voxelization stage that ensures improperly voxelized blocks don't write garbage everywhere and ruin lighting
  
• No more noise seen on reflected blocks ambent lighting
  
• Fixed reflections bug that caused some pixels to shoot a ray in a totally wrong direction
  
• Fixed secondary bounce GI light leaking in enclosed spaces
  
• Fixed streaking artifacts caused by TAA when moving the view quickly
  
• Fixed "dusty" looking sky colors
  
• Added Post-Processing Settings > Black Depth option
  
• Other minor fixes
  

• Minecraft 1.12.2 (no 1.13 support yet)
  
• OptiFine 1.12.2 HD U E2 or newer
