A very Vanilla high performance shader with live Texture Upscaling/Filtering and optional shadows.
Plenty of other options to configure lighting and fog how you like while maintaining a subtly enhanced vanilla feel.
Make feature requests on discord!
Alpha versions aren't verified to work on all hardware yet. Please tell me about errors so i can fix them. Thanks and have fun!

better performing shadow options for Low Computers, like shadow distance of 20 with shadow distort off and shadow fade on
many more shadow distance numbers
shadow distance slider actually saves fps now
added more minimum ambient light to nether but it pulses for a spooky effect. i'll make this optional later
in Testing menu: some volumetric clouds that i probably need to have run at lower resolution to run faster
