• Ice rework
New and improved smooth normal maps, better & consistent heightmaps
Reworked MERs with more detail, slightly glossier, resulting in better reflections

• Snow rework (Snow, Powder snow, Snowy grass)
Revamped MERs, now fully consistent with each other and slightly rougher
Smoother normal maps
New & much more sutbtle heightmaps
Snowy grass PBR textures now properly match snowy grass
• Netherrack Rework Crimson/Warped Nylium side, nether gold and quartz ore normal maps, now much smoother & minor adjustments to heightmaps (netherrack parts only)

I looked into it, apparently this issue is caused by latest Minecraft update (v1.19.60) where point lights are emitting the wrong color of light. Similar issues usually come and go with Minecraft updates, but in the meantime I will be trying to create a workaround & share it in a dedicated post. Thanks for bringing this to my attention.

how do i attach a screeenshot?

Hi, could you attach an screenshot? I am going to assume you're talking about soul torch & soul lantern. Torches and lanterns have hardcoded values for the color of light that they emit, that means, they can not be significantly altered by Vanilla RTX. For odd reasons, it first appeared to be red (MCPE-112916), later was changed to a white color with blue hue.

torches and lanterns are emitting white light

thx

As far as I'm aware the only bug related to night and water with ray tracing is that moon lighting is at a different/opposite angle underwater (compared to outside of water). Chunks of land & water can also appear glitchy at any time during gameplay. Turning off clouds, placing or removing a block in the area that the bug occurs or rejoining the world temporarily fixes this issue.

water is buggy at night
