Visual effects improvements

[ChrisZ]

Hey there,

what do you think about this pull request from 2024?

https://github.com/luanti-org/luanti/pull/15417

The improved visual effects on these screenshots look great in my opinion. Why hasn't it been merged yet? :(

It's still being worked on, with fairly recent updates from the original author. I've been watching it very carefully too and am praying it gets merged soon (if it's ready) so it doesn't get abandoned.

What I don't really understand: What's the current status? The original author (GefullteTaubenbrust2) made some changes recently, so is this PR now waiting to be reviewed? Or are there any other changes needed? 🤔

I agree, I think I've seen that PR before. I hope it gets merged sometime in the future as well, I'd love to see tint-able sunlight available for mods. The vignette effect also looks quite usable too.
According to GitHub, it hasn't needed a rebase (most recently) since Dec 7, but it probably will again after the next release. I hope this gets moved up on the priority list, because it's really cool.
