Light Ray is a variant of LIGHT Shaders (Chocapic13's Shaders fork), aimed at providing advanced features such as ray tracing and PBR while maintaining performance.
Light Ray's style is simliar to LIGHT Shaders.
Ray tracing.
Screen-space ray traced global illumination, bouncing colored light around the scene for a more grounded, physically inspired look.
PBR shading.
LabPBR materials with metalness, roughness and emissive support for a richer surface response.
Performance first.
Built on top of LIGHT Shaders' optimized base, so the advanced features do not come at the cost of your FPS.

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 LIGHT Ray 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.
