If you follow me on YouTube, or play with any of my heavy shaders, you know I like to push the limits and do things that no one has done before. But those shaders are heavy!!
The aim of this shader is to mix some of the state of the art and never done before features of my hard to run shaders 'Icarus' and 'CTMPOMFIX', and the performance of my very fast Vanilla+ shader 'Simply Upscaled'.
This is Pretty Early in development.
If you would like support, to share screenshots, make requests, or join the community, please join my discord.
'Vx' versions (0.3.3 and up) get lower fps due to voxelizing for Colored Lighting. If you use 0.3.2 you will get better fps but not have Colored Lighting
- Current notable features:
-distant horizons support
-physics mod support
-photonics mod support (check alpha versions)
-crashing Beach waves (with physics mod and iris on 1.20.1 or higher)
-optional texture upscaling
-pbr
-speed (on lower presets)
-vanilla, cartoon, and realistic/fantasy styles
I hope you have fun!
Let me know what you think.
