Compatability
- Sodium 0.9.X
- LambDynamicLights
- AsyncParticles
This is an early release and is highly experimental! If you run into issues with our features or compat with other mods, please report on either our Discord server of GitHub repository. Feel free to make sugestions.
. . . yeah, technically this has shaders but they do not blow up low-end hardware and is functionally pretty different to shaderpacks.
Use the older available versions for the older and more stable feature set (just emissives)
