This shaderpack accurately recreates all vanilla effects in an Iris shaderpack.
This pack can be used as a base to create other shaderpacks, or it can be played with directly, since it adds a few options to for a little more customization.
Currently in Version 1.0, there are options in the shader menu to disable the entity shading and the fog. By editing the shader.properties file it's also possible to turn off the vignette and the directional light
As of Version 1.0 I have not tested every feature in the game to make sure everything is accurate, so far I have only done the effects that are always visible, like fog and lighting. If you find any issues you can report them here
