Currently shader is WIP, expect many bugs.
That should be all, fixing the shadows is my top priority along with foxing the light leak issue. The End kind of just doesn't have any features and is the same, and the Nether is bearable (in my minimal testing), but I will definitely revist tje dimensions after fixing the shadows. That's all so have fun!
*Note: Nuking the entire shadow logic and rewriting it from ground up to support iris. Also it technically works on iris but has a whole lot of more bugs so I suvgest to not to use this yet.
Written by Chamelon. 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 Nostalgic Crisp 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.
