Volumetric Shading (1.18.x compatible) is a Vintage Story mod by krami. Volumetric Shading enhances Vintage Story visuals with volumetric lighting, screen-space reflections, and additional rendering tweaks.
Why this mod is worth installing
This graphics mod is aimed at players who want more atmospheric light and richer surface reflections in the 1.18.x .NET 7 edition of Vintage Story. It is especially useful for visual-focused playthroughs, provided your hardware can handle the extra rendering work.
What Volumetric Shading (1.18.x compatible) adds
Volumetric Shading changes the way light is presented in the world, adding volumetric lighting that can make sunbeams and other bright shafts feel more tangible. It also introduces screen-space reflections, giving suitable surfaces additional visual depth.
The mod includes several other rendering adjustments intended to improve the overall appearance rather than add new blocks, items, or gameplay systems. Its controls can be opened in-game with Ctrl-C.
This release targets the .NET 7 builds of Vintage Story 1.18.x. It is a graphics enhancement rather than a standalone content pack, so the main result is a different visual presentation and potentially higher rendering cost.
