About this project
What does Shadered add?
If you like Shadered I would really appreciate if you donated, but no pressure!

This is a mod that adds a few complex decorational blocks which do things like projecting a skybox, changing the skybox, rendering gltf models, changing the look of the world, and more
the blocks are optimized and render more efficiently than blocks like the End Gateway
