TrueLightFX Lite v5.6.1

Fixes

• Cherry blossom leaves (cherry_leaves) and other plants like pink petals are no longer completely overexposed and no longer incorrectly emit light like glowing ores.
• Cherry blossom leaves and azalea leaves now properly wave and wiggle in the wind, perfectly matching the animation of other tree leaves (oak, spruce, etc.).
• Updated and corrected block mappings for recent Minecraft updates. New blocks like the open_eyeblossom will now glow correctly in the dark, while the closed_eyeblossom and other normal plants will not.
• Cleaned up the underlying shader code by removing unnecessary descriptive comments, keeping the codebase tidy.

Notes

• This is a patch update, noticeable via the v5.6.X versioning scheme (where "X" represents the patch number, e.g., the first patch is v5.6.1, and so on).

TrueLightFX Lite v5.6

New Features & Enhancements

• Glowing Ores & Flowers: The "Glowing Ores" setting under Gimmicks has been expanded and renamed to "Glowing Ores & Flowers".
• Lush Emissives: Added beautiful glowing effects to various lush plants and leaves, including Spore Blossoms, Glow Lichen, Pitcher Plants, Cherry Leaves, and Azalea.
• Dynamic Glow Colors: Emissive blocks now glow dynamically using their original texture colors instead of a static yellow tint (e.g., Spore Blossoms now naturally glow pink, Glow Lichen glows cyan, and Diamond Ore glows blue).
• Animated Glowing Plants: Glowing foliage is fully integrated with the wind animations and will continue to sway naturally in the wind while glowing.
• Optimized Performance: The new emissive additions were built directly into the highly optimized existing ore glowing system, ensuring absolutely zero performance impact.
