MAGE - Mildly Advanced Graphical Enhancements

MAGE is a specialized modification designed to expand Minecraft's graphical customization capabilities. This mod operates exclusively on the client side.

Important note: The project is currently in early development stages, so the feature list and supported versions provided below will be expanded and modified over time.

Core Features

• Smooth water (version 0.2.0+): Eliminates smooth lighting issues inside liquids and on water surfaces. This feature is also available as a standalone mod.

• Partial MCPatcher support (work in progress): Implements partial compatibility with the "Custom Colors" functionality from MCPatcher resource packs.

• Custom lightmaps: MCPatcher compatibility allows using resource packs like "Pixel Reality: Luminance" without requiring OptiFine installation.

• True darkness tweak: Optional feature works with custom lightmaps and non-vanilla worlds.

• Developer API: Most integration points used by the mod for graphic enhancements are exposed through an API, enabling custom implementations within other mods.

Supported MCPatcher Features

• Custom Colors (potions, text, redstone, pumpkin/melon stems, pine/birch)
• Custom Lightmaps

Client-side performance is minimally affected, and all future features that might impact performance will be configurable. The mod can be safely included in standard modpacks.
