What A World - Solar Shadows

Quality of LifeJava Loader

Version 1.0.0 · Updated Sep 16, 2026 · 1.2 MB · 22 downloads · WhatAWorldSolarShadows

Requires Java Loader

Minimum Java Loader 0.3.4

Optional sunlight and shadows for What A World. Solar Shadows adds continuous sunlight, projected world shadows, mesh shadows for characters and vehicles, ambient bird silhouettes and an adaptive world void.

Sunlight and shadows

Continuous sunlight with projected world shadows.

Mesh shadows

Shadows for characters and vehicles. They're expensive in hordes, and can be turned off or capped by What A World's Potato tier.

Ambience

Ambient bird silhouettes and an adaptive world void.

Tier-aware

With What A World present, its tier caps shadow counts and distances and never raises a value you set lower.

Requirements

Requires Faded Java Loader 0.3.0+; without it nothing runs. Doesn't require the main What A World mod. Single-player is the tested target; treat multiplayer and split screen as experimental. Conflicts with other mods that replace the screen shader. Known issues: no water shading yet, and blown highlights in some daylit rooms. Derived from ShadowZ; no ZombieBuddy needed.
