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'.

Written by timetravelbeard. Read it with pictures on Modrinth.
Install Iris (with Sodium) or OptiFine for your Minecraft version: shaders need one of them.
Download the .zip file from Modrinth. Do not unzip it.
In Minecraft, open Options, then Video Settings, then Shader Packs, and click Open Shader Pack Folder.
Drop the .zip file into that folder, pick Pegasus Shaders in the list and click Done.
Shaders are heavy on the graphics card. If the game gets slow, pick a lower profile in the shader settings.
