Continuum Shaders: The Pinnacle of Cinematic Realism in Minecraft

• Generally stable in typical play; occasional crashes reported when switching options mid-session or with incompatible mod combos.
• Minor visual glitches: shadow popping at certain distances, occasional z-fighting in highly tessellated resource packs.

• Provided: GLSL fragment shader for screen-space SDF rendering with AA and smooth union; HLSL compute for reaction-diffusion; Metal for iOS. (Include full code in repo — omitted here for brevity.)

4. In-Game Configuration & Settings

• Minimum (for Continuum 2.0.5): NVIDIA GTX 1060 / AMD RX 580, 16GB RAM, Intel i5-8400. Expect 30-45 FPS at 1080p.
• Recommended (for Continuum RT): NVIDIA RTX 3060 Ti or higher (RTX 2070 Super for path tracing), 32GB RAM, i7-10700K or Ryzen 7 3700X.
• Ideal (Path Tracing 60 FPS): NVIDIA RTX 4080 or 4090. AMD cards struggle significantly with path tracing due to OpenGL driver limitations in Minecraft.
