Vanilla PBR | Deferred Lighting Graphics Pack

Introducing Vanilla PBR: redefining Minecraft's visuals using Deferred Lighting, inspired by both the iconic look of vanilla Minecraft & visuals of Minecraft with RTX, Vanilla PBR blurs the line between the two by providing rich physically-based-rendering materials for every block, mob and particle, fog configurations for all biomes, enhanced colors & point light data for blocks for added depth and vibrancy to your worlds, revamped sky reminiscent of vanilla Minecraft, water waves, and more!

Changelog

• Added water caustics
Note: This is a heavily modified version of default RTX caustics, replacing deferred lighting's pixelated caustics.

• Various adjustments for the latest previews:
- Moonlight now gets brighter towards midnight, instead of darker, updated nighttime sky colors

• Removed metadata from manifest.json to potentially address issues with importing on Xbox
Note: I don't have access to an Xbox console to test, it remains uncertain if this is a working fix.
• Minimum engine version is now 1.21.80, update to the latest Minecraft Preview.
• With his version and moving forward Lite variant of Vanilla PBR will no longer receive updates alongside regular Vanilla PBR.

Error when importing: "The property '/header/min_engine_version' has a version of '1.21.80' which is too high. The highest value we accept is '1.21.73'."
Edit: it is meant for latest preview release, not the last stable version.

Thank you for the wonderful visuals! Graphics Mode appears as "Vibrant Visuals" instead of "Deferred Graphics" but it works anyway. The light is too bright for my taste. I wish there were an option to adjust only that.
