What is KappaPT?

Some of you may already know the Kappa Shader of mine, this is a very similar pack but instead of relying on the vanilla lightmap it is using worldspace path-tracing to fully replace the lightmap. It delivers accurate blocklight emission, skylight occlusion as well as global illumination through that. Of course this does come at the cost of increased code complexity and reduced performance as well as being much more time consuming and challenging to work on. Thus I have decided to turn this into a separated pack, which is available through patreon for said reasons
KappaPT is available for Tier 3 Patrons (10€), with less frequently updated but in turn more stable versions being available for Tier 2 (5€). If you can't or won't pay, the normal Kappa Shader should provide more than reasonably good results for you, especially with its SSPT emission which has brought it a big step closer to the results of path-traced shaderpacks when it comes to the prominent colored lighting and global illumination.

Supporter Updates 2025-04

I’ve released a few quality of life improvements for my path traced packs in the last month, so I figured it’d be good to give you a bit of an overview.

Supporter Updates 2025-03

I realised that it’s been quite a while since I last compiled complete changelogs of the updates to my paid packs here, so I figured I should catch up on that.

Development Update – January-March 2025

It’s been a while since the last devblog as I’ve been dealing with a lot of other things in my life for the last few months, but there are also many new shaderpack things to go through now.

Supporter Updates 2024-05

I figured I should make a bit of a summary of the latest updates of KappaPT and NostalgiaVX since I kinda forgot get back to making update posts like this.

Development Update – March 2024

It’s time for a bit of an update again, with KappaPT receiving a few more updates, some more things that I have planned for NostalgiaVX and last but not least a bunch of new Arkham Mods I’ve updated or released recently.

Supporter Updates 2023-11

It‘s time for a small update again as I’ve been working on some minor quirks of KappaPT and NostalgiaVX, as much as my available spare time allows me to do so atm anyways.

Development Update – November 2023

It’s time for another update, although I haven’t been working quite as much on shaderpack stuffs as usual now that I’m also busy with university things again, which is why this is one of the shorter development updates.
