Entities: soft ambient around them and also has other small details like wet reflection.
Color correction: It’s used a common tone mapping method, but it gives the newb shader a different color tone. You can also tweak brightness, contrast, saturation, tint, and try other tone mappings from the setting file.
Sun/Moon: well, what do you think about a 3D-looking vanilla moon, sun?
The sun looks stunningly smooth, but it still keeps the vanilla vibe and even can be rotated!
