Appreciate Soft Bloom Effects on Glowing Blocks

How Bloom Works in Vivid Frost Lighting

Soft bloom creates a gentle glow around bright light sources—glowing blocks, fire, lava, and bright outdoor surfaces emit a subtle halo effect. This isn't harsh or unrealistic; it enhances visibility and atmosphere without looking artificial.

Viewing Bloom Effectively

Build with glowing blocks like lanterns, soul lanterns, or amethyst clusters to see bloom in action. The effect is most noticeable at night or in dark caves where light sources stand out. Try creating a beacon or placing glowstone to observe how the bloom spreads naturally around the light.

Adjusting Bloom to Your Preference

If bloom feels too strong, reduce its intensity in shader settings—this won't remove the effect, just tone it down. If it's barely visible, increase bloom strength slightly. The cold-toned lighting means bloom appears crisp rather than warm and diffuse.

Bloom pairs well with the shader's semi-realistic environmental lighting, making lit areas feel more cohesive and naturally illuminated rather than flat.
