Tour the Biomes to See Each Area's Unique Atmosphere

This shader doesn't apply a single brightness filter to the whole world. Every biome gets its own fog, colors, lighting and rebuilt sky. Exploring is the best way to see what it does.

Where to go

• Forests. Expect dense fog, thick dark tree trunks and dramatic light rays cutting through the canopy. Visit during the day for the strongest light beams.
• Cold taigas. These are one of the areas specifically given a gloomy, haunting treatment. They make a good contrast with warmer biomes.
• Cherry groves. Mist hangs over the grove, with purple-tinted lighting and drifting petals.
• Mushroom fields. Mushroom trees sit under a purple sky with heavy atmospheric lighting.
• The End. This is another area singled out for a haunting mood. It's worth a visit once you can reach it.

Capturing the mood

1. Turn off the HUD for clean shots. On PC press F1, or toggle Hide HUD in Settings > Video.

2. Stand where fog layers sit between you and distant trees. Depth sells the atmosphere.

3. Compare the same biome at different times of day. The lighting and sky shift noticeably.

4. Crossing a biome border is a great moment to watch the fog and color grading change.
