Notes
- More customizable
Progress - 30/Sat/May/2026
- Added new settings (atmos)
- Sky changed
- Maybe moon will be back
Progress - 3/Wed/June/2026
- Decided to restart my progress on this shader to version 0.1 due to performance issues.
- More functions = more performance overload.
Progress - 21/Sun/June/2026
- Atmosphere improvements
📝 Author's Note
For optifine: Is currently untested. (and appear to be very broken on old versions of minecraft). It is best to use mc versions with official support of Iris & Sodium for best compatibility and stability.
Shader is still in alpha stage. Bugs can be reported via SSRE Telegram
