|---|---|---|
retroLevels | 31.0 | Color quantization steps per channel |
retroPixelScale | 5.0 | Pixel block size (higher = blockier) |
retroScanStrength | 0.08 | Scanline darkening intensity |
retroVignetteStrength | 0.25 | Screen-edge darkening amount |
retroDitherStrength | 1.0 | Bayer dither offset magnitude |
- Pixelation — UV snapping to coarser grid via
retroPixelScale - Bayer 4×4 ordered dithering — color quantization with structured offset matrix
- Scanline darkening — alternating row attenuation via
retroScanStrength - Vignette — radial screen-edge darkening with configurable inner/outer radius
- Color bleed — horizontal chromatic right-shift emulating CRT phosphor smear
- Shadow rendering — 2048×2048 shadow map with distorted clip-space sampling (
lib/shadowDistort.glsl) - Atmospheric fog — exponential fog blending in
composite1.fsh(FOG_DENSITY = 5.0) - Deferred lighting — blocklight, skylight, sunlight, and ambient reconstructed from G-buffers in
composite.fsh
v1.0.x — initial release

The exact v1.0.0 release notes, including the initial feature set and the Minecraft version it first targeted, are available on the distribution platforms.retroview follows Minecraft version parity — each release targets a specific Minecraft version. Always download the build that matches your installed Minecraft version to ensure compatibility with the correct Iris and Fabric API versions.
